WelcomeThe Dunville Road Neighbourhood Watch was founded in 2002 and has been very instrumental in keeping crime down to reasonable levels in the area around Dunville Road on the Bluff in Durban. We also work closely with the SAPS in Sector 2 of the Bluff Sector Policing. Membership is only R20 per annum. See this article about us in the Southlands Sun, June 8, 2007. Check our Contact Us page for contact details. Support the anti-crime drive on the Bluff. More details at Important NoticePlease note that this web-site will be phased out over the next few months. In order to provide a central repository of information without duplication of maintenance efforts on various web-sites, it has been decided to absorb the web-site into the Bluff CPF web-site. There will be a section dedicated to the Dunville Road Neighbourhood Watch on the CPF web-site at http://www.bluffcpf.co.za/nw/dunville. Other neighbourhood watches, street champions, and sectors will also have their own sections with information specifically relating to them. |

Other Services
At the DRNW meeting held on 4th February 2008, it was highlighted that crime, especially housebreakings, in the area had increased in recent weeks. Residents are urged to take the necessary precautions. See other sections of this web-site for safety tips. A very interesting and dynamic presentation was given by Sgt Griesel of Amanzimtoti SAPS. Amongst other points, he emphasised that, in the case of intruders entering a premises while the residents were at home, the only focus of the residents should be on their physical safety. All efforts should be made to "encourage" the intruders to leave without endangering the residents. One of the most effective ways of doing this is to make as much noise as possible - so press your panic button as soon as possible. The intruders do not want to be caught, so they will typically leave quickly if they believe that the neighbours or a security response company are aware of the situation. If you cannot meet the monthly payments to alarm companies for monitoring services, you should still consider installing a non-connected system with a siren, or even just a siren which you can turn on or off. Note that portable "panic buttons" which emit a loud noise are also available at various stores. Please read this for further details on alarm systems and do contact us should you need any further advice. |
