New Brits police station commander Brigadier Noriel Kepadisa with acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General Patrick Asaneng and acting Deputy Provincial Commissioner: Policing, Major General George Olifant.

“As employees of the South African Police Service, our foremost priority must be the obligation to collectively render service to the community. My mission and vision is to lower crime levels by ensuring that complaints receive prompt attention and that detectives provide progress reports and feedback to the community,” she said.
“Furthermore, the community will also be engaged through awareness campaigns to draw their attention and sensitise them on pressing societal issues such as gender-based violence.”
Brig Kepadisa believes the efficacy of combatting crime can only be achieved by a holistic multi-disciplinary approach consisting of other stakeholders such as the Departments of Correctional Services, Traffic, Social Development, Education, Health, Justice, National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), Liquor Board, Consumer Rights, Non-Profitable Organisations (NPOs) and security companies.
Brig Kepadisa holds a National Diploma in Policing and a B-Tech degree in Policing. She started her police career in 1992 in the former Bophuthatswana Police and served in the Protection Unit.
In 2003, as a Captain, she was appointed as the Ottoshoop police station commander. She moved to Mooinooi police station in 2005 where she served as station commander as Lieutenant Colonel.
“Some of the most problematic crimes in the four sectors within the Brits policing area, include all assaults, stock theft, robberies (street robberies) car hijacking and theft of motor vehicles. Brits police have pulled out all the stops to ensure that the current relationship with Community Police Forums (CPF) is strengthened by sharing vital information on various platforms such as the Station Crime Combatting Forum, CPF monthly meetings, sector meetings and social media groups. And we urge communities to come forward and share information with the police and CPF.”
