DOCS Safety Hotspots

What is a DOCS Safety Hotspot?

My Department is establishing 'DOCS Safety Hotspots' within communities to localise the various strategies and policies of the Department. This initiative is in line with the District Coordinated Service Delivery Model and will ensure that our services and programmes are accessible to people, particularly those living in rural areas. It is envisioned that the local presence of the department in communities will aid in unblocking service bottlenecks and facilitate better communication with community members by raising awareness and enhancing responsiveness to safety concerns.

Where are the DOCS Safety Hotspots? 

In bringing government closer to the people, particularly in rural communities, pilot DOCS Safety Hotspots will be established in:

• Robertson 
• Bredasdorp ​
