Verified information which was received from the South African Police Service (SAPS) Criminal Record Centre, revealed that 27 members of Division: Crime Intelligence have a criminal record. 20 members' criminal records relate to contraventions of the Road Traffic Act, whilst seven, are of a serious nature.
The newly appointed Divisional Commissioner of the Division: Crime Intelligence, Lieutenant General PA Jacobs, is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the seven serious cases. Progress in this regard will be reported in due course.
