Community in Blue
What is Community in Blue?
Community in Blue (CIB) is a South African Police Service (SAPS) initiative that strengthens partnerships between the police and the community to prevent crime.
Through the Community Policing Forum (CPF), trained and vetted volunteers work alongside SAPS to improve safety, increase visibility, and support local crime prevention efforts.
