Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Police
Whether, with reference to his reply to question 1614 on 13 June 2016, he intends to take any steps to ensure drastic improvement of the low drug conviction rate of 4,73% in respect of cases from the Norkem Park Police Station in Gauteng that went to court; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Yes, by increasing crime prevention operations and enhancing proper investigation of dockets by investigation officers. The drug conviction rate has improved for this financial year, due to the high density crime prevention operations and proper investigation of dockets.
