security
Ensuring a safe and secure neighbourhood is a priority and reality for all communities in South Africa. The NRA represents Newlands residents at regular meetings with the SAPS and ADT to montior crime trends and ensure optimum service delivery.
Newlands consists of five security sectors namely, Dean Klipper, Hiddingh, Newlands Village, Kildare Vineyard and Upper Newlands. Each of these is managed by a committee who meet regularly to monitor performance and discuss incidents of concern.
ADT is South Africa's leading security company, and the security service provider of choice within Newlands. Each sector has an area-specific security arrangement which includes a combination of bicycle and foot patrols and backup from armed-response vehicles. These ADT guards protect Newlands by performing regular inspections of each area and act as a visual deterrent to criminals.
Residents are urged to support their sector committees and subscribe to these localised security initiatives. It is the participation of all residents in formal security programs and an informal community-oriented focus that makes a difference in creating a safe environment.

e-watch service
The concept of the eWatch is to provide residents with information regarding criminal incidents occurring within the neighbourhood and surrounding areas. It is intended to sensitize residents to current modus operandi, and to heighten awareness so that they do not become victims of crime themselves.
The service is entirely reliant on information provided by residents regarding their own experiences or those of people they know. ADT do provide information to the eWatch co-coordinators as and when incidents occur on the properties of their clients.
Please notify your neighbourhood security contact (listed above) with reports of any incidents you become aware of, security concerns that you may have, or to be added to the distribution list.
