Xolani Khumalo is set to spearhead a significant initiative in the ongoing battle against crime within the Johannesburg Municipality. His strategic approach involves the creation and deployment of two specialized units under the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD): the Tactical Response Unit and the Crime Prevention and Combating Unit.
The Tactical Response Unit will be a rapid and agile force, equipped to handle high-intensity situations with precision and efficiency. Its members will undergo rigorous training to respond swiftly to emergencies, ensuring a proactive stance against criminal activities.
Simultaneously, the Crime Prevention and Combating Unit will focus on proactive measures to curtail criminal behavior before it escalates. This unit will engage in community outreach, implement preventive strategies, and collaborate with residents to foster a safer environment.
Xolani Khumalo’s decision to establish these units reflects a commitment to a multifaceted approach to crime reduction. By combining rapid response capabilities with preventative measures, the city aims to create a more secure and resilient community under his leadership.
