Community and Cops Clean Up Pretoria North Police Precinct
Story 1
Pretoria North residents joined forces with local police and Ward Councillor Quentin Meyer to clean up the Pretoria North police station.
The community-led effort included painting, trimming trees, and clearing litter to restore pride and improve the station's appearance.
Meyer said it was about rebuilding trust in law enforcement, while station commander Colonel Nonzwakazi Julla called it an example of policing with the community, not just for it.
The clean-up also created space for informal chats between residents and officers.
On the same day, Pretoria North SAPS participated in a mental health awareness campaign at Adelaide Tambo Clinic, promoting understanding and respectful treatment of mental health issues.
