What We Do:
Response Service
MCWT functions as your response service. No need for a commercial armed response provider. MCWT is PSIRA Registered.
Alarm Monitoring
We do NOT sell, install or monitor alarms. Members do however receive preferential rates from several providers in the area.
Proactive
Milnerton Crime Watch Trust is the only 24/7 proactive patrol in the Milnerton Central area. Our black and yellow cars are distinctive – please note that we do NOT use any other vehicles.
Contracted to you!
Milnerton Crime Watch Trust contracts directly with the homeowners in the central area to ensure that we remain a members-only service. This protects us and you and ensures that we hold the correct public liability cover in place.
Community-run
20 years on the road and MCWT is still run and actively managed by the community – for the community. YOU as a member are automatically a beneficiary of the community trust.
LPR
Milnerton Crime Watch Trust is a firm supporter of License Plate Recognition technology and the user groups in our area. We take an active role in this and have camera placements of our own to protect our residents.
You are the Owner
Every day, our Milnerton Crime Watch Trust patrolmen are on the street, 24/7 proactively patrolling our neighbourhood. They don’t park and wait for things to happen – they move about and check for suspect behaviour.
These patrols are managed and overseen by a team of volunteers from the community who fill up the exco-roles.
There is no “owner” to Milnerton Crime Watch Trust – YOU as a member are the owner.
There is no “you” in Milnerton Crime Watch Trust – it’s US!
There is no “profit” in Milnerton Crime Watch Trust – it’s a community-run and funded initiative – what is collected in subs is spent on patrols and safety.
What makes Milnerton Crime Watch Trust work – is you… Thank you for your continued membership and support of our patrolmen!
Our patrol area extends between Racecourse Road and Boundary Road, Koeberg Road and Marine Drive (R27), and includes Woodbridge Island and Lagoon Beach.
“Professional. & caring. Great visibility & quick reaction time. Their patrolmen go the extra mile to assist in any situation. Thank you MCW.”
