Our Purpose in a Nutshell
Our goal is a safer Knysna. Our police and municipality have failed to put the public first, not only refusing transparency and accountability but issuing bizarre statements such as crime is down. If anything, the statistics are being dumbed down and bad cops have permeated the justice system. The only way that we will regain control over our lives is by participating in the process, motivating and reminding them that their job is to protect and serve us, the public. An ideal outcome would be respect for one another under a shared vision. For more details read Our Mission which can be found in the top menu bar.
