Community Policing Forums PARTNERSHIPS between police and the communities they serve have transformed the fight against crime across South Africa. Community police forums (CPFs) have been set up in almost every town in the country. Some forums have been more successful than others, but where both sides have bought into the partnership and brought energy and commitment to it, the forums have made the streets a great deal safer. In Johannesburg, every police station works with a community police forum. Many police stations have also set aside space for Victim Support Programmes. This section, which will be regularly updated and expanded, provides a guide to CPFs around the city. Overview: What is a CPF?
