Gauteng Security: What You Need To Know

Gauteng is the biggest province in South Africa and it has a population of around 13.5 million people. The province is divided into four regions: the North West, the North East, Gauteng Central, and the South East. Each region has its own police service, which is responsible for law enforcement in that area.

The Gauteng Provincial Security Management Centre (GPSMC) is responsible for security in the province. It was established in 2005 and has a staff of around 350 people. 

The Gauteng protection Cluster office was established in 2013 to improve communication between law enforcement agencies and to provide better coordination between their activities.
