The Democratic Alliance has
called for more Public Order Policing and the shortage of POP staff to be dealt
with urgently.
This is after the National
Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega briefed Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on
Police stating that measures are in place to enhance resource and capacitate
Public Order Policing Units.
DA MP of Police Dianne
Kohler Barnard said the Western Cape
has only 325 POP members allocated to the province out of a total of 4 721
countrywide.
Barnard said we must now
welcome that the turn around strategy is in place but this turn around strategy
can take for years.
