FOR THE COMMUNITY
BY THE COMMUNITY
Delta 1 would like to become a beacon of hope in difficult time’s by creating a communications centre where help is a radio call or phone call away .
FOR THE COMMUNITY – BY THE COMMUNITY.
In this way Delta 1 not only becomes the communication HUB during emergencies, but where Delta 1 can provide the equipment and expertise necessary to aid the community at large, while waiting for/assisting the necessary emergency services and standing by the person in need.
In the year 2014 the need for a 24/7 communication HUB was identified by the Lephalale C.P.F and the surrounding communities.
The decision was made to open up a communications centre to accommodate the Lephalale SAPS cluster, namely Bulgerivier, Cumberland, Dorset, Hoopdal, Tom Burke, Villa Nora and Witpoort.
The reason being, most of our rural communities did and still do not have reliable cellular coverage, they rely solely on 2-way radio communication to aid them in emergency situations.
Delta 1 opened its doors , with the blessing of the SAPS and the respective communities , on the 1st of December 2014 and has remained open since. The task was to assist the public in emergency situations by being a 1 stop communications HUB, where in any emergency you make 1 radio call and the operators contact and dispatch all the relevant emergency services on your behalf.
