Several high-ranking police officials are on a list of officers with criminal records, Parliament's police portfolio committee heard on Wednesday.

An audit, which only covered the period prior to January 2010, found 1448 officers had criminal offences, SA Police Service acting deputy national commissioner for human resource development Nkrumah Mazibuko told MPs.

The audit was conducted to find out how many officers with criminal records remained in the service's employ.
 
MPs shook their heads in disbelief after Mazibuko was pushed to list the ranks of the convicted officers. They included a major-general, 10 brigadiers, 21 colonels, 10 majors, 43 lieutenant-colonels, 163 captains, 84 lieutenants, 716 warrant officers, 267 sergeants, 129 constables, and two personnel officers.

And then we hear that it does not look like the Gauteng Provincial Commissioner, Lt Gen Mzwandile Petros, will doing another term in office. Such a pity if so. I have immense respect for this man and his no-nonsense approach to the work he does. He never minces his words and takes on the chin if someone in his region has messed up.

If only they had access to the police's criminal database then they could check their people. Oh wait...

Perhaps they should arrest themselves?

Database? They still do not have the ability for two police stations to "talk" electronically to each other. So I doubt they'd go there.
 
sigh when will the police be what they need to be... when people that are in the force are doing crime them self how will the in-force it ?
