GAUTENG – The SAPS continues with Safer Schools campaigns that aim to raise awareness amongst children and young learners regarding crime and violence, as well as its impact on individuals, families and education.

School-based crime prevention is intended to enrich the participation of police officers in promoting safe and orderly school environments.
