Redelinghuys, Mr MH to ask the Minister of Police
(a) How many fixed establishment positions were there for the (i) Detectives: Violent Crimes (Group A), (ii) Detectives: Economic Crimes (Group B), (iii) Detectives: General Crimes (Group C) and (iv) Detectives: Service Centre in each police station in each province (aa) in the 2015-16 financial year and (bb) since 1 April 2016, (b) how many of the specified positions were (i) filled and (ii) vacant in each case and (c) on which salary scale is each of the positions?
Reply:
(1)(a) The question requires a reply to address all the 1 142 police stations. This will be volumes of pages and is therefore responded by providing the provincial totals. The tables below provide a summarised exposé of the different questions and must be read with the previous reply to question 2163 which dealt with the total fixed establishment of police stations. The development and maintenance of the fixed establishment of the South African Police Service (SAPS) is informed and guided by Regulation 20 and 27 of the SAPS Employment Regulations, 2008 and is influenced by two primary variables:
- The approved organisational and post structures for police stations and clusters; and,
- the availability of funds in terms of the current budget and Medium Term Expenditure Framework.
The source that was used is the SAPS Fixed Establishment allocations for 2015/2016. The fixed establishment positions for police stations in each province in the 2015/2016 financial year and a summary of categories crimes investigated by the respective groups (attached as per annexure A) are tabulated as follows:
