The CAD usually held between March and April is to bridge the gap between the police of SAPS Berea and the community it serves. An event of this calibre highlights the role of government and policing units play within the community, which serves the community to be aware of the role they play in assisting the police with policing in the Berea area and creating community partnerships.
