WhatsApp Security Group

LWRA VIP Crime Reporting

Welcome to the dedicated page for the Lakewest Residents Association VIP Crime Reporting WhatsApp group. This initiative focuses on enhancing community-wide security by providing a platform for reporting and addressing public space (within LWRA) security incidents efficiently.

What is the LWRA VIP Crime Reporting Group?

This exclusive WhatsApp group facilitates communication about public security issues affecting the entire community, not individual personal security needs. It’s designed for contributing residents of Lakewest, ensuring each message is actionable and directly related to community safety.

Group Rules and Usage

  • Crime-Related Reporting Only: Please limit discussions to public space security concerns. This group is not intended for private home security issues or general chit-chat.
  • Operational Support: Bad Boyz Patrol car and Control Room are on standby, ready to respond, demonstrating our commitment to immediate action and safeguarding our community.

POPIA Disclaimer

By remaining in this group, under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) effective as of 30 June 2021, you:

  • Consent to share your personal information (i.e., cellphone number and name) with other group members.
  • Acknowledge that your data is protected against misuse or unauthorized disclosure in alignment with POPIA regulations.

Participation Guidelines

  • No Misuse of Information: Group members are prohibited from using personal information for any purposes outside the scope of community security.
  • Reporting Protocol: Please report any misuse of information or receipt of unsolicited messages to the group administrators immediately.

Opting Out

You may opt out of the group at any time if you decide not to receive further communications. Admins also reserve the right to remove members who do not comply with group rules.

Broader Security Initiatives

The LWRA VIP Crime Reporting group is part of broader security measures that include:

  • Community CCTV: Strategically placed surveillance cameras monitor public spaces within our community for suspicious activity.
  • License Plate Recognition (LPR) Cameras: These cameras are crucial for tracking vehicle movements and enhancing our preventive security measures.
