Together for a Safer Woodstock

The Woodstock Community Police Forum (CPF) was established to build trust, cooperation, and effective communication between the Woodstock community and the South African Police Service (SAPS).

About Us

Our History

Recognised under the SAPS Act, CPFs are essential to community-led safety initiatives, and our Woodstock CPF is one of the most active and inclusive in Cape Town.

Formed in response to growing safety concerns and the need for constructive dialogue between residents and police, the Woodstock CPF brings together neighbourhood watches, NGOs, residents’ associations, business owners, and everyday citizens. We believe a safer community begins with an informed, empowered, and united public.
