Twee Nuwe SAPD Stasiebevelvoerders vir Gansbaai en Hermanus

-Gansbaai SAPD en Hermanus SAPD-

Gansbaai SAPD, asook Hermanus SAPD, het gelyktydig nuutaangestelde Stasiebevelvoerders vir die onderskeie polisiekantore gekry. In Gansbaai is Lt.Kolonel Jacobus Janse van Rensburg aangestel en in Hermanus Kolonel Gustaf Tamboer.

Maandagoggend, 5 Mei 2024 was ‘n besonderse geleentheid by Gansbaai SAPD. Die stasie se offisiere en beamptes het saam met enkele besoekers in die raadsaal vergader. Kapt Gerda Groenewald, Gansbaai SAPD se Waarnemende Stasiebevelvoerder gedurende die afgelope tyd, het die verwelkoming behartig. Sy het ds Floors Avenant en Deon Naude vir die opening aan die woord gestel. Floors het ‘n gepaste gedeelte uit die Bybel voorgelees, met die kern boodskap as “In diens van geregtigheid” (In Service of Justice), waarna Deon ‘n gebed gedoen het.

Adj.-Offisier Woensdrecht Basson het die SAPD se Code of Conduct voorgelees. Daarna het Kapt Groenewald die stasie se lede aan Lt.-Kolonel Janse van Rensburg voorgestel. In sy boodskap het hy onder andere gesê: “Ek sien uit na my nuwe uitdaging en, ek respekteer julle, julle respekteer my, aangesien samewerking noodsaaklik is.” Dit was verblydend dat Lt.-Kolonel Janse van Rensburg dit duidelik gestel het dat hy so gou as moontlik die onderskeie besture van alle Buurtwagte en die CPF wil ontmoet. Dit dui ongetwyfeld op bande bou en om by die gemeenskap uit te kom.

Die Gans-Berg Nuus se Redaksiespan en lesers wens altwee die nuutaangestelde Stasiebevelvoerders van harte geluk met hulle aanstellings en wens hulle alle sterkte toe met hulle nuwe verantwoordelikhede.
