GET TO KNOW US
Keri Cross
Still the holder of the record for the fastest time ever to establish a CID, Keri is very well versed in the set up and management of CIDs. But her principal focus is on developing systems and technology tools to improve community public safety.
Passionate about safety and highly motivated, Keri leads from the front. Results speak for themselves and the community attests that the reduction in crime over recent years in Keri’s home town of Hout Bay can largely be attributed to the efforts of CCS’s sister NGO Community Crime Prevention.
Helen Snell
With a 20+ year career in investment banking in Europe, Helen brings exceptional management, organisation and communication skills from her corporate background. She has more than seven years’ experience of CIDs having established a CID for her own neighbourhood and managed it successfully for many years thereafter.
She has advised several other CIDs and Steering Committees over the years and formalised this role by joining the CCS team. She has extensive knowledge of the process to establish, deploy and manage CIDs. She is also getting to know her way around security.
JJ
What JJ doesn’t know about crime and criminals could be written on a postage stamp!
After years of voluntarily responding to security incidents and assisting victims of crime in his neighbourhood, CCS formalised his role. JJ remains at the forefront of the fight against crime on home turf but extensively advises those in other areas seeking to improve safety.
He has exceptionally close working relationships with the various other crime-fighting entities in and around Cape Town. A consummate expert in the myriad of tools available to combat crime, he works closely with tech whizz Jarryd.
Jarryd
Jarryd is CCS’s tech whizz. Few can rival his knowledge of cameras, monitoring, networking and all the other tech magic that goes into a state of the art and effective public safety installation.
He is passionate about keeping up to date with the ever-changing tech in this space and strangely but conveniently addicted to problem solving.
Jarryd is also passionate about cats. People? Not so much. Rather send a WhatsApp than try talking to him!
