22 September 2016 - NW1853
Mackenzie, Mr C to ask the Minister of Police
With reference to his replies to questions (a) 1427 on 6 June 2016 and (b) 3602 on 13 October 2015, when will he ensure that the detective division at the Norkem Park police station in Gauteng receives additional personnel in order to reduce the high number of cases each detective currently investigates from 81 to the recommended 40 to 45 case dockets?
Reply:
The recommended personnel strength for the Norkem Park Police Station Detective Service according to the Fixed Establishment is 38. The actual personnel strength of the Detective Service is 37.
Gauteng province is currently busy with a project where police stations with a surplus of members within the Visible Policing environment are instructed to identify and redeploy members to their Detective Service environment where there is a shortage of members.
Police stations are also instructed to redeploy experienced Visible Policing members to the Detective Service environment when they receive their new entry level constable allocation.
