Which Centurion Station Covers My Address?
SAPS sets station boundaries, and they do not follow suburb names. Two neighbouring streets can fall under different stations. To open a case it helps to go to the station covering the place where the incident happened, because the case will be transferred there anyway. Any station must still take your report. See which police station covers my area and SAPS station boundaries.
If you are unsure, phone the nearest station from the table and give them the street address. The CSC can tell you which station’s area it falls in.
