While SAPS indicated through a parliamentary reply that ’’160 officials are on the granted establishment for this particular station’’, an oversight visit proved this to be an exaggerated figure.
Cape Town – At Grassy Park police station, a total of 31 detectives each carry a case load of about 250 dockets, with a ratio of about 1 379 residents per police officer.
Because, in contrast, SAPS indicated through a parliamentary reply that ’’160 officials are on the granted establishment for this particular station’’. ’’The severe shortage of policing resources has contributed to 31 detectives for SAPS Grassy Park carrying a case load of about 250 dockets each. Similarly, the police to population ratio is approximately 1 379 residents per police officer.
’’Receiving accurate information from the police is not merely an oversight obligation, but more than that, it is accurate data which we must receive to have a clear view of resource allocations to Western Cape communities.
