Phiyega: Public order policing neglected
Lusanda Bill
National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega has admitted that members of the service’s training on dealing with crowds and in public order policing have been neglected since 1994.
Phiyega was addressing the parliamentary committee on policing on Tuesday.
According to Phiyega dealing with crowd control had not been a priority in terms of police training.
The commissioner says crowd management training is coming to the fore again in the wake of new protests.
