“As a property owner in Bellville, I can speak for the entire community when I say that we are privileged to have such a well-managed organisation looking out for our properties. Congratulations to Derek Bock for getting the VRCID to where it is today. When he was appointed as COO in 2012, I knew the VRCID would be a success, and it is. Our Precinct Manager, Leonie van der Merwe, is always willing to help us, regardless of the circumstances, and her WhatsApp group ensures that all property owners are up-to-date about incidents in the area. The VRCID's patrollers are always present, pleasant and well-informed. The community has watched the VRCID spend endless hours liaising with businesses, gathering information and communicating efficiently, which ultimately keeps us all safe. Your efforts and skill have led to great accomplishments. We are all very proud and grateful for your hard work."

“Ford Tygervalley has been part of the Bellville business community since 2015 and we look forward to spending many more years in the area. The VRCID's security team is one of the most effective. They are responsive and quick, on-call whenever we need them. Precinct Manager, Leonie van der Merwe really goes out of her way to ensure that we feel looked after, and I sleep peacefully at night knowing that the VRCID is patrolling our streets. With the VRCID just a call away, the businesses in Bellville are safe. Thank you for all you do!”

"The VRCID team is a blessing to MES and to the rest of the Voortrekker Road Corridor. The Social Development team and fieldworkers go above and beyond to serve the homeless and support MES in everything we do. MES would not be able to serve the homeless the way we do without the VRCID's support. Every GROW team sponsored, trip to a hospital, food delivery and person placed on a bus to be reunified with family is supported by the VRCID. The VRCID's Precinct Managers and Public Safety Officers are also incredible! They show immense resourcefulness, patience, integrity and commitment when supporting our GROW teams, and they are always willing to help MES staff and clients. The VRCID is a true example when it comes to the co-creation of a clean and safe environment where everyone plays a role and all contribution is appreciated."

"We are so appreciative of the services that the VRCID offers to those in the Bellville area. It has had such a positive impact on the social and safety aspects of our community. Thank you all for your dedication over the years. And a special thank you to Leonie, who always assists the hospital where she can and collaborated with us for the greater good of Bellvile. Keep up the great work!"

"Having VRCID in Northumberland Street has made a big difference. They have been a big asset for the area, making it safer and not to forget literally keeping the streets clean. From all off us at Beds4u and the rest of the stores in Northumberland Street Shopping District we would just like to say thank you to VRCID for the great work and effort."

"From the first day dealing with the VRCID, I have been blown away with their efficient, professional and friendly service. They are always just a phone call away and always respond immediately. The presence of the VRCID has had such a positive impact in the area, we at Die Handelshuis, are grateful and appreciate you, VRCID."
