Shembeni, Mr HA to ask the Minister of Police

What (a) is the total number of satellite police stations in the Republic and (b) plans does his department have in place to ensure that the specified satellite police stations are turned into permanent police stations with their own commanders?

Reply:

There is a total number of 210 South African Police Service (SAPS) satellite police stations, in the Republic of South Africa (RSA).

Feasibility studies are continuously conducted to determine the satellite police stations that qualify to be fully fledged police stations. Emanating from the results of the feasibility studie9, plans which are dependent on the availability of budget, are put in place, to determine which satellite police stations are prioritised to be graduated into fully fledged police stations, in the medium-term.
