Personnel from Table View police station handed out stickers saying “Hands off our Police” at Bay Side Mall in Table View this morning in light of the fact that this is Police Safety month.

The message on the stickers echo the sentiments which Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa expressed in his recent speech on South African Police Service National Commemoration Day. He said, “The death of one police officer is one death too many. It is thus heart-breaking to learn that during the last year, 72 members of the police service lost their lives – 40 of them in the line of fire.”

Judging by the look on the ladies’ faces it looks as if the message was received in the right spirit.
