The South African Police Service (SAPS) does not have a plan to deploy static police officers at schools. However, the SAPS does have School Safety Officers, who are linked to schools.

The SAPS reacts to incidents, reported at schools and conducts operations in response to information received about schools. As part of the daily functions of the SAPS, frontline members conduct daily patrols at schools.

Annually, the SAPS, in collaboration with the Department of Basic Education, identifies problematic schools for the implementation of the School Safety Programme. The SAPS also conducts maintenance programmes at the schools where the School Safety Programme was previously implemented.

MINISTER OF POLICE

Reply:

The Minister does not intend to introduce amendments to any legislation in the National Assembly to devolve police powers to provincial governments. The devolving of police powers to provincial governments will be in contravention of Section 205(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 ("the Constitution") which states that the "national police service must be structured to function in the national, provincial and, where appropriate, local spheres of government".

Section 205(2) of the Constitution states that "National legislation must establish the powers and functions of the police service and must enable to discharge its responsibilities effectively, taking into account the requirement of the provinces". This has been effected by the promulgation of the South African Police Service Act, 1995.

Section 205(3) of the Constitution makes provision for the duties of the police as follows: "to prevent, combat and investigate crime, to maintain public order, to protect and secure the inhabitants of the Republic and their property, and to uphold and enforce the law".

Section 206(1) of the Constitution requires that the Minister must take into account "the policing needs and priorities of the province as determined by the provincial executive".

Section 206(3) state as follows:

"Each province is entitled-

( a) to monitor police conduct;

(b) to oversee the effectiveness and efficiency of the police service, including receiving reports on the police service;

(c) to promote good relations between the police and community;

(d) to assess the effectiveness of visible policing; and

(e) to liaise with the Cabinet member responsible for policing with respect to crime and policing in the Province."

Section 207(1) of the Constitution provides that the President appoints a National Commissioner of Police to control and manage the police service under the direction of the Minister of Police.

In terms of section 207(3) of the Constitution, the National Commissioner is then responsible for appointing a Provincial Commissioner of Police in each Province to manage and oversee policing in the Province. The Provincial Commissioner is expected to report to the Provincial Legislature and the MEC responsible for Policing.

Section 207(4) of the Constitution makes it clearer that Provincial Commissioners are responsible for policing in their provinces as prescribed by national legislation and subject to the power of the national commissioner to exercise control over and manage the police service.
The Constitution introduced the concept of cooperative government, structured in the national, provincial and local spheres, which is distinctive, interdependent and interrelated. This implies that all spheres of government must conduct their business within the spirit and principles of cooperative governance and intergovernmental relations.

While the Constitution makes it clear that policing is a national competency, Provinces have a huge role to play in the maintenance of law and order, reduction in crime as well as policing in general. As provided in section 207(5) of the Constitution, the Provincial Commissioner is required to account to the provincial legislature on an annual basis on the state of policing in the province.

The issue on the regularity of crime statistics release has been discussed at various meetings, in the Portfolio Committee on Police, in the previous financial years. However, Section 218 (f) of the Interim Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1993 (Act No. 200 of 1993) provides that, "subject to the directions of the Minister of Safety and Security, the National Commissioner will be responsible for the keeping and provision of crime intelligence data, criminal records and statistics".

The above section has been retained, in terms of item 24 of Schedule 6 to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act No. 108 of 1996).

Hence, it is only the Minister who can pronounce on the matter.

Over and above the use of English and Afrikaans, professionals in Metropolitan Areas like Gauteng and Western Cape uses more than one African language guided by the need of the member requiring services at that time

(c) What is the average case load of each person in each month?

SAPS does not allocate specific counsellors to police stations, a pool of Counsellors that consists of Psychologists, Social Workers and Chaplains get allocated to Provincial or Cluster Office with the intention of offering services to the different stations under that Cluster. The allocation to Clusters or Provincial offices is guided by the following:

• Number of stations under that cluster
• Counsellors employed in the province
• Nature of crime within an area that exposes members to traumatic events and the frequency at which members seek services of a counsellor

One Counsellor can be allocated to service more than two Clusters, especially in rural areas where there is a limited number of counsellors employed by SAPS. Head Office divisions get serviced by a pool of Counsellors who are based at Head Office but get allocated to divisions based on the need.

SAPS currently employ 114 Psychological services professionals, 202 Social Workers and 217 Chaplains country wide.

In areas where there are no SAPS permanent counsellors available, members’ needs are attended to through a Psycho- Social network of proViders contracted to SAPS medical aid POLMED.

(1) The continuation of the South African Police Service Non Statutory Forces (SAPS NSF) project is currently the subject of a review application which was brought against the South African Police Service by the Solidarity Union in the Gauteng North High Court. An interdict prohibits the South African Police Service to continue with the SAPS NSF project pending the outcome of Solidarity Union’s review application. Once the review application is finalised, a clear Judicial directive will be issued as a court order in this regard.

Reply:

The South African Police Service (SAPS) determines the population ratio, using the mid-year population estimates, released and produced by Statistics South Africa that only covers national and provincial estimates. Thus far, the population ratio, per police station in each province, in respect of murder, is not available, since the areas in the country are not aligned to station boundaries. Therefore, the crime ratios cannot be determined.
