Brackenfell Community Police Forum

Missing Children Awareness

Every child deserves to be safe, protected, and reunited with their loved ones. Missing Children Awareness serves as a reminder that the safety of our children is a shared responsibility between parents, communities, schools, and law enforcement.

The South African Police Service (SAPS) urges the public to remain vigilant and to report missing children immediately. There is no waiting period to report a missing child. The first few hours are critical and can make a significant difference in locating a child safely.

Awareness, education, and community involvement play a vital role in preventing children from going missing. By knowing where our children are, teaching them about personal safety, and reporting suspicious activities, we can help create a safer environment for all.

Together, let us stand united in protecting our children, raising awareness, and ensuring that every missing child has the best possible chance of being brought home safely.

"Protecting our children is everyone's responsibility."

The Brackenfell Community Police Forum (CPF) held its second Stakeholders Meeting on 5 May 2026.

We sincerely thank SAPS, Armed Response Companies, Ward Councillors, Neighbourhood Watch representatives, and CPF members for their valued presence and contributions.

Together, we remain committed to creating a safer and stronger community.

Stay vigilant & stay safe!
