CHALLENGES RAISED WITH PCOS BY PROVINCIAL HEADS IN 2005 STAFF SHORTAGES Since 2007 our investigative staff have been complemented with 05 more staff members. We also took on board several interns in line functioning to help ease the backlog. COMMUNITY OUTREACHES This is still a problem in that we still don’t have a budget allocation for it, we therefore have to collaborate with other Government Departments. POLICING POWERS This matter is still a problem since most of our investigators still struggle to get policing powers in time. PROVICIAL REPRESENTATION IN DEPARTMENTAL COMMITTEES Provinces are now in committees CENTRALIZATION OF DECISION MAKING POWER IN NATIONAL OFFICE Provincial Managers can now approve overtime and can also appoint staff of up to level 8

Application for exemption received in 2007/8 1.May July August September

Criminally (Attempted Murder) the suspect was acquitted and departmentally (DVA) he was fined R500

CHALLENGES Implementation of DVA by SAPS –Training on legislation Expanded mandate re: Municipal Police Services –Training in prescrits, regulations etc. New research projects –weaknesses in SAPS disciplinary mechanisms –SAPS training

Challenges Inaccessibility of ICD to the public especially in rural communities Lengthy period taken to discipline SAPS members Failure by SAPS t notify ICD of non-compliance Lack of understanding of the DVA by SAPS members and also trying to break the barriers of the culture of silence around domestic violence Increase in police officers who are perpetrators of domestic violence Due to inaccessibility ICD is getting fraction of DVA complaints Shortage of staff to do DVA station audits there is only one monitor Nil report of consolidated returns sent whereas as Stations and Provincial Commissioner has cases sent for intervention and investigations Application for exemptions are received by this office but same does not appear on consolidated returns
