Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Police
Whether, with reference to his reply to question 1612 on 13 June 2016, he intends to take any steps to ensure drastic improvement of the low drug conviction rate of 1,43% in respect of cases from the Kempton Park Police Station in Gauteng that went to court; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Yes. A meeting was held with the Department of Justice and a possible solution is that members should be briefed during parades on the correct search and arrest procedures. The Forensic Science Laboratory is working on backlogs to improve the turnaround time. Arrangements will be made with members specialising in drug identification to workshop other members at police stations in recognising habit forming substances.

Yes. In most cases suspects are arrested with small quantities of dagga and those cases are not placed on the court roll. Intensive operations are then conducted to trace the dealers and sellers. This includes the involvement of the Community Policing Forums to provide information on places where dagga is sold. During the meetings with Department of Justice it was envisaged that suspects be convicted even with smaller amounts of dagga.

* The budget for payment of informers in Gauteng is not allocated to individual stations, but is managed by the provincial office. Claims are submitted to the province for payment of informers and then captured on the Polfin system. The matter was discussed with the management of Gauteng to rectify the situation.

Waters, Mr M to ask the Minister of Police
(1) Whether the 77 SA Police Service officers stationed at the Boksburg North Police Station have been retested since failing their firearm shooting competency tests; if not, why not; if so, (a) how many of the specified officers failed the retest, (b) what duties was each of the specified officers assigned during the period that they were found to be incompetent to handle a firearm and (c) what were the ranks of the specified officers; (2) whether he intends to make it mandatory that all police officers attend regular shooting practice and not just the annual competency testing; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, (a) when will this become mandatory and (b) how often will police officers be mandated to attend shooting practice in each year?
Reply:
Maintenance shooting is an on-going training programme in the South African Police Service (SAPS) and members do their maintenance shooting annually to maintain their firearm competency in terms of Regulation 79(2)(b)(1) of the Firearm Control Act 60 of 2000.
(1)(a) Of the 77 SAPS members stationed at Boksburg North Police Station that were not competent, 65 have since done their maintenance shooting and were declared competent. 12 Members are still not yet competent and are scheduled to undergo their maintenance shooting as from 7 June 2016.
(1)(b) Members are deployed and confined to the Community Service Centre (CSC) whilst waiting to redo their maintenance shooting.
(1)(c) The members’ ranks are as follows:
Constables 9
Warrant Officer 1
Captains 2
(2) No. Currently there is no mandatory directive for members to attend shooting practice. However, members are encouraged to attend regular shooting practice sessions when logistical and operational commitments allow.
