The Hoedspruit Farm Watch, based on a Community Safety Network (CSN) operational framework, was established in 2008. Its primary objective at foundation was to ensure the safety and well-being of residents in the town and the surrounding farming district. The Farm Watch supports firefighting, municipal maintenance, and other community needs via collaboration with local South African Police Service (SAPS), private security firms, South African National Parks, private game reserves, residential estates and lodges, municipal and regional government, and emergency services. It maintains strong ties with surrounding CSNs and Community Police Forums (CPFs). The Hoedspruit Farm Watch was developed to safeguard the community. It provides a security/intelligence network and crime scene processing capability to private game reserves from Phalaborwa down to the Kruger National Park Orpen Gate. Over several years, the Hoedspruit Farm Watch has accumulated a great deal of experience in providing and sharing crime intelligence by coordinating databases on offenders, modus operandi, crime scene evidence, case arrests and identifying ‘poaching gang’ members. This anti-poaching initiative, using high-tech security technology and intelligence software programmes, investigative and rapid-response units as a force multiplier, has and is providing an anti-poaching security services practical programme that has proven highly successful and provides a ‘best-practices model’ that can similarly be implemented in other rural communities, farming areas and private game reserves across South Africa. This chapter traces the origins, implementation, and active operationalisation of this rural local CSN initiative in the Hoedspruit District.
