What is TBK 4.0?
TBK 4.0 is the next strategic phase for the Tamboerskloof Neighbourhood Watch (TBKWatch). It is not a product, but an initiative to enhance community safety. Key goals include hiring a full-time operations manager, expanding the CCTV network from 80 to 120 cameras, and deploying a dedicated 24/7 patrol vehicle. This evolution aims to build upon their existing infrastructure to further reduce crime in the area through professionalized operations and advanced technology.
