The Flomotion Victim Empowerment Programme is a registered Non Profit Organisation administered by Flomotion, with support from the South African Police Service, emergency services and local community policing forums. Our pilot project is currently underway in Florida, Johannesburg but we are able to provide support with setting up similar programmes across the rest of Gauteng Province. In line wi

th South Africa’s National Crime Prevention Strategy and National Policy Guidelines on Victim Empowerment, we focus on restorative justice for victims of trauma, at no cost to the victims themselves. This approach is fully in concert with international trends over the past decade to promote a victim-centred approach to criminal justice. Our professional, motivated and highly-trained counsellors

-provide empathetic, person-centred assistance to victims of crime and other traumatic incidents in the form of counselling
-attend to the victim’s emotional needs and stability
assist with access to emergency and social services
-offer support during the justice process
-provide services on behalf of the victim in terms of their rights
-and assist with prevention strategies to prevent repeat traumatisation. While our focus is on providing initial trauma debriefing to victims of crime, we also refer victims to medical and professional service providers if further counseling is required. We also offer the following services, among others:

- We create awareness at schools on the dangers of drugs and being involved in gangs. We invite motivational speakers to address students at local schools.
- We conduct group debriefing after incidents involving multiple victims.
- We facilitate educational talks and workshops to empower individuals on how to deal with trauma.
- We report general statistics (i.e. no identifying or personal information) about the cases we work on to the South African Police Service and relevant Community Policing Forum.
- We develop a client information database for ease of communication and intervention. Our counsellors are drawn from various backgrounds and include teachers, paramedics, social workers and drug rehabilitation workers among others. They are all volunteers and have been thoroughly vetted by Flomotion and the South African Police Service. If you are interested in joining our team of motivated, professional counsellors or looking to set up your own victim empowerment programme in your suburb or area, please email vep@flomotion.co.za. A counselling background is preferred but not necessary as training will be made available to you through Flomotion’s training services.

The South African Police Service (SAPS) has noted with serious concern a video circulating on social media depicting women allegedly handling and cocking fi****ms inside a house.

From the video, it appears that the women may not be properly trained or authorised to handle fi****ms.

SAPS therefore warns that the reckless handling and misuse of fi****ms pose a serious danger to both the individuals involved and members of the public.

In terms of the Fi****ms Control Act 60 of 2000, any person handling or using a firearm must be legally authorised to do so and must be in possession of a valid firearm licence or permit where applicable.

Firearm owners also have a legal responsibility to ensure that their fi****ms are not accessed or used by individuals who do not possess the necessary competency certificates or firearm licences.

The registered owner of a firearm may face criminal charges if found to have allowed unauthorised persons access to the firearm.

The implications may also be significant where the object involved is a toy gun, imitation firearm, or blank gun, particularly if it is used in a manner that creates fear, intimidation, or the reasonable perception that it is a real firearm.

SAPS wishes to remind members of the public that fi****ms are not toys and should never be used recklessly, displayed irresponsibly, or handled for entertainment purposes, including for social media content.

The public is urged to act responsibly and to report any illegal possession, misuse, or reckless handling of fi****ms to the nearest police station or anonymously through the Crime Stop number 08600 10111.

CHILD PROTECTION MONTH 2026
BCI SECURITY | BCI K9 ACADEMY

May has been officially recognised across South Africa as Child Protection Month but for us at BCI, protecting children is not just a month… it is part of who we are, every single day.

At BCI SECURITY and BCI K9 ACADEMY, our hearts are deeply invested in the safety and well being of our children. They are our future, our responsibility, and our greatest priority.

Teaching Children to Stay Safe
We don’t just talk about safety we actively go into schools and communities to educate and empower children.

Through our outreach programs, we teach:

Stranger Danger awareness

The truth about “Bad Sweeties” and manipulation tactics

How and when to say NO

The powerful and life-saving signal: ✋ “PLEASE HELP ME”

We teach children that their voice matters… and that they are allowed to speak up.

K9s with a Purpose
Our highly trained K9s play a very special role during these visits.

They:
Capture children’s attention in a positive and engaging way
Help create a safe and trusting environment
Demonstrate discipline, obedience, and protection
Turn serious lessons into memorable experiences
For many children, this is not just a lesson… it’s something they will remember for life.

A Responsibility We All Share

Child protection is not just for parents or teachers it is a community responsibility.

We urge everyone:

Be alert to changes in a child’s behaviour
Take every concern seriously
Report immediately if something doesn’t feel right

Silence protects the abuser action protects the child.

Report Immediately

If you suspect a child may be at risk, contact:

South African Police Service
Department of Social Development: 0800 428 428
Childline South Africa: 116
Child Welfare South Africa: 0861 424 453

Our Promise

At BCI SECURITY and BCI K9 ACADEMY, we will continue to:
Educate
Protect
Stand up for those who cannot always stand up for themselves
Because every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and protected.

“Security is not a word, it’s what we do.”

“In Canine We Trust.”
