Crime Intelligence Unit redeployments

2 Dec 2011

The management of the South African Police Service has taken a decision to redeploy the Crime Intelligence management with effect from Monday 28 November 2011. This follows internal processes and interventions that needed to be expedited objectively hence the interim redeployment of members in this regard (see New Age report).

The SAPS does not wish to conduct its internal matters in the media hence a plea to allow processes to unfold accordingly. Furthermore, the organisation will not be drawn to media debates on information received from unknown sources and allegations thereof. It is important to understand that the interim redeployment is to allow the processes to be conducted fairly within the Crime Intelligence environment and that any speculations and reports on allegations in this regard will not be entertained.

The SAPS management remains confident that the processes currently underway will stabilise and allow the environment to function optimally in the interest of the service.
