Here is some information we believe will be invaluable in setting you on your way to becoming a contributing member of HBNW.
The most important thing to remember is that as a HBNW member you are the “eyes and ears” of SAPS and the Security Service Providers (SSPs) in Hout Bay.
Whether you are going about your daily activities or doing specific patrols around your neighbourhood, if you see any people behaving in a suspicious manner or spot any suspicious vehicles, call this in to Watchcon 021 790 9333.
Watchcon is our very own call centre / control room in Hout Bay and the Operators are available to deal with emergencies in which they can request the assistance of SAPS, SSP’s, CCP, Emergency Medical Personnel (EMS), Fire and Rescue or Metro Traffic / Law Enforcement.
Watchcon is NOT a security service provider nor are they responsible for those they call to assist you. This response is dependent on the availability of resources at the time of an incident. We recommend that you a contract a Security Service Provider such as ADT or Deep Blue who will deliver the usual guaranteed armed response in the case of any incidents at your home.
