STASH IT, DON’T FLASH IT (which also uses #StaySafe) is a CCID Safety & Security department public awareness and crime prevention campaign. While the messaging is used throughout the year by our public safety team, the campaign is relaunched each year during the festive season (December to March) to drive awareness with both locals and the high numbers of visitors who spend time in the Central City during this time of the year. Street pole and “crime disruption” posters, placed at strategic “hot spots” across the CBD, target three specific areas – namely theft out of motor vehicles, ATM fraud and pickpocketing – while extensive brochure distributions accompanied by hardcopy, radio and social media drive home all aspects of safety and common-sense awareness to ensure all those who use and enjoy the Cape Town Central City stay safe.
