Capt Nicholas Rabe is helping investigate cases of crimes against children and gender-based violence.In less than three years, a North West police detective has been instrumental in at least 26 life sentences and 353 years' imprisonment handed to 20 perpetrators of gender-based violence .

SAPS spokesperson Col Athlenda Mathe said the efforts of detectives in the unit often go unnoticed, but they contribute “to a much better and safer SA”. Rabe, 45, has a 20-year service record, working as a general detective before joining the FCS unit in 2018.
