The Department of Community Safety has briefed the Standing Committee on the Police Needs and Priorities (PNP) Report for 2020/21.
Democratic Alliance (DA) Western Cape Spokesperson on Community Safety, Reagen Allen, said among a myriad of issues it was found police officers in the Western Cape received no in-field training and supervision following their graduation and that almost 63% of dockets were lost on the archive system.
Allen said he would write to the SAPS to request timelines on its turnaround strategy in the province.

The report also showed in a sample of 60 police stations surveyed more than half had police vehicles in a poor working condition.
