SAPS shake-up: Mbalula to crack down on 'top-heavy' police, crime intelligence overspending
Cape Town - Police Minister Fikile Mbalula has announced several drastic shake-ups to tighten policing operations in the country, which should include redeploying crime intelligence members and scrutinising the secret account used by operatives to prevent irregularities.
"There are staffing and technological inadequacies in the Division of Crime Intelligence which has rendered the function non-responsive," Mbalula said.
"The division should be deployed at police station and cluster levels as well."
Mbalula said this on Friday in the parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Police.
He said the crime intelligence unit had overspent R33.1m.
