02 October 2018 - NW2548
Dreyer, Ms AM to ask the Minister of Police
(1) Whether, with reference to his reply to question 1782 on 18 June 2018, and the fact that the Germiston Police Station has five sectors, he has found that the police station should have 80 visible police officers, in correlation with four members per shift per sector for four shifts; if not, how does he expect the police station to fulfil its requirement of two sector vehicles patrolling in each sector at all times; (2) with regard to the inevitability of police officers taking leave, including but not limited to family responsibility, sick leave, study leave, annual leave, what is the total number of additional visible police officers that the station must have in order to ensure that two vehicles per sector are patrolling at all times?
Reply:
(1) The Germiston Police Station is currently unable to fulfil the requirement of two vehicles per sector, due to a shortage of resources.
(2) The Germiston Police Station has five sectors with two members per sector and one vehicle, per sector, implying a total of 40 members. In order to fulfil the requirement of two vehicles, per sector, an additional 40 members are required.
