Public Safety

MID Public Safety Patrol Vehicle | Control centre  Tel:  086 107 0000

If residents and visitors are harassed; are victims of crime; or notice suspicious behaviour in public space they can call 086 107 0000 or 021 787 0700. This is a smart phone based in the Mountain Men control room so sms or WhatsApp messages will also be responded to.

The MID Public Safety patrollers only respond in public space and  may not enter private properties in pursuit of suspicious people or for any other reason. Residents are entirely responsible for the security of their own homes and should sign up with a private security company if they want additional protection.

The MID’s top-up public safety measures are focused on making it safe for people to walk in the streets and enjoy public spaces in the Muizenberg Improvement District. These services do not replace those already provided by SAPS, Law Enforcement and Metro Police. Please read the MID Public Safety Statement here
