Security on the estate is top priority and outsourced to Syncro Dynamics – a professional security company. Access is tightly controlled, and the perimeter fence is electrified conservancy-standard fencing.
Raptor’s is surrounded by neighbouring wildlife estates and security is managed cooperatively with adjoining conservancies, all of whom have equal standards of access control and fencing. There are two manned access points of entry into the estate with strict gate controls and access cards for residents. Access cards are issued by the office for residents and visitors. Security cameras are installed at strategic points, and the fences are patrolled 24/7.
Contractors, estate agents and domestic workers undergo annual security checks linked to the SAPS criminal data base, and carry access cards with photos, ID numbers and employers’ details. All contractors have their company name displayed on three sides of their vehicles for easy ID.
We have an excellent and very active Farmwatch/Townwatch association which offers the community a safety support service and their reaction unit will assist and respond to emergency calls from their members in any situation that potentially indicates a threat to life or property. They work closely with the South African Police Service.
Hoedspruit town has many CCTV cameras and they are an indispensable tool in keeping our town safe. This system needs camera monitors – this can be down from the comfort of your own home – you just need a computer and good internet connection and power backup to cover loadshedding. Contact Farmwatch if you would like to assist with this work.
Raptor’s View is a member of the association and residents fall under this membership. However, residents are also able to sign up directly with Farmwatch/Townwatch or donate to support their valuable work.
Contact Farmwatch to join or donate: 083 647 7951.
Security updates and information are posted on the Hoedspruit Community Policing Forum Facebook Group – see more HERE.
