As we face the third wave and a resurgence in cases, we know we have you as our partners, who stand by us and fight this unseen enemy as we continue to work on the frontlines\u201d, part of the letter reads.<\/p>\n<p>Following the Covid-19 lockdown, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers volunteered their services to sanitize all JMPD buildings and vehicles amongst thousands of others who also requested their assistance.<\/p>\n<p>15 months later, they are still at it to ensure that our police officers are kept safe.<\/p>\n<p>They have worked closely with the JMPD by sanitizing their buildings and cars, daily throughout all levels of the lockdown to ensure outmost safety.<\/p>\n<p>Spokesperson for the Scientology Volunteer Ministers said that \u201cWe will continue to offer our support to the JMPD, it\u2019s the least we can do to thank them for risking their lives daily for the benefit of the community\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>With over 1, 1 million hours spent by the Scientology Volunteer Ministers on the frontlines, they are aware of the threat that COVID-19 can cause but that does not stop them from dedicatedly working for over 400 days spending 12 hours a day, seven days a week as part of their humanitarian work to help mitigate the spread in the country.<\/p>\n<p>They have struck partnerships with hundreds of organizations and government departments in this time to protect as many lives as possible. They have sanitized over 66,000 buildings across the country all at their own cost to keep the people safe. Additionally, they have sanitized over 1, 1 million taxis, buses, ambulances, fire trucks and more to curb the spread.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe get our humanitarian spirit and our desire to help from the teachings of L Ron Hubbard, a humanitarian, who dedicated his entire life to assisting others,\u201d added Hlayisi. Despite having worked for over a million hours and thousands of buildings decontaminated, they say that they are resolute to carry on with saving lives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/johannesburg-chief-of-police-thanks-local-group-for-saving-them-during-3rd-wave-of-covid-19-in-south-africa\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the Johannesburg Metro Police with Scientology Volunteer Ministers.
