Orange Grove and Norwood are definitely not as safe as they were nineteen years ago. The communities have been experiencing house hijacking, cell phone snatching, public drinking and scrap for cash has been encouraging cooler stealing as well as house break-ins. The Community Police Forum has been around for many years, and it is nationwide. The Norwood CPF is particularly active and has made some major inroads in addressing safety and security issues recently under the guidance of Wayne Preston, the Chairman, and the new Station Commander Colonel Govender.
