Contracting of Externally Funded Members of the City’s Law Enforcement and Traffic Services Departments by the Private Sector and Other Interested Parties Policy

Contracting of externally funded members of the City’s Law Enforcement and Traffic Services Departments

The City of Cape Town allows private sector and other interested parties to fund and contract additional members for its Law Enforcement and Traffic Services Departments. This enables sponsors to support public safety in specific areas by covering the costs of hiring officers, who then operate under the City’s command and control structure.

Who it is for

private sector entities and other interested parties willing to fund law enforcement or traffic services personnel

How to act on it

Sponsors must engage with the City's Safety and Security Directorate to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the deployment of externally funded members.
