Be the eyes and ears of the area.
If anyone is interested in patrolling for the Tokai NW (Neighbourhood Watch), Please contact Graham at (email) patrols@tncw.org.za. You will need to get SAPS clearance for NW duties (free for patrollers) and some training to explain what we do and the resources we have on hand. It’s a good way to know what is going on in the area, to network with other residents and to reduce crime in Tokai.
Patrolling is ‘Eyes and ears’ only. We do not expect anyone to put themselves in harms way and we have backup in the form of the Constantia Valley Information Centre (CVIC or the ‘Control room’).
Contact Graham at patrols@tncw.org.za if you are interested.

REMOTE JAMMING
Vehicle Remote Jamming: Criminals can block or jam the locking signals of remote locking devices of vehicles. Most remote controls work with radio waves that use allocated radio frequencies which are vulnerable and exploited by criminals. Automated gate or garage remote controls are mainly used to jam the signal sent by a car remote control, which is pressed in close proximity when parking and locking your vehicle.
Using a remote device to block or jam the locking device to motor vehicles has sadly become an everyday occurrence in South Africa. Remote jamming is unfortunately excluded by insurers across the country for vehicles or claims for property stolen from vehicles.
In order to avoid becoming a victim of this crime a few simple steps can be followed:
Most important rule :
Please report all crime incidents to the Neighbourhood Watch. The TNCW measures the crime levels and study crime trends to inform the neighbourhood, so it is important that the TNCW is informed of all crime incidents. Please be mindful that not everyone in Tokai is aware of the Neighbourhood Watch, so if you know of a crime, no matter how big or small, please ask the victims to inform the TNCW.
Please report all crime related incidents at Kirstenhof Police Station as well as to the TNCW at email incidents@tncw.org.za
Please report to TNCW even if you feel it is not necessary to report to SAPS. We see from our cameras that there is plenty of night time walkers and it is important that we can track what they are up to.
When reporting an incident to the email incidents@tncw.org.za please include the following :
