(1) How are station-level resources calculated based on a station headed by a (a) brigadier, (b) colonel and (c) captain;
(2) (a) how many (i) detectives and (ii) vehicles are there at every station in the province and (b) what is the average number of vehicles not in working order?
The reply of the South African Police Service [SAPS]:
5. [1] In order to determine an accurate resource requirement on local level [police stations], the key environmental data and other related information are gathered and captured on a systematically designed web-based application system utilised for this purpose, named the Station Post Requirement [SPR] system. The system has been developed to calculate the number of posts per level required to perform the duties associated with police stations.
