Minister Plato to Release Shadow Crime Report

On Wednesday, 26 September 2012, Dan Plato, Western Cape Minister of Community Safety, will release the Department of Community Safety’s Shadow Crime Report.

The Shadow Crime Report is a new tool that the Department has developed to monitor murder-statistics more pro-actively using alternative data sources instead of having to rely on out-dated annual crime statistics. This information allows us to analyse trends and thereby be more pro-active with our resources and responses.

Journalists in attendance will receive a copy of the Shadow Crime Report.
