Crime intelligence 'affected, but not captured' – Sitole on SSA report | gerbjan
The police's Crime Intelligence unit has been"affected" by revelations in the hard-hitting high-level review panel report on the State Security Agency but is"not captured", the national police commissioner has said.
"It is important that we get an assurance that there are consequence management and adherence to the Constitution and legislation [at Crime Intelligence]," committee chairperson Francois Beukman said.High-Level Review Panel on the SSA"Some findings of that report affect how intelligence should operate in the police," Sitole responded."Generally, chair, I can say the findings of that commission are aligned to our strategy.
He said the unit was dealing with instances where there had been overreach, including several cases in which officials were charged in disciplinary proceedings. He said disciplinary proceedings were slow and explained that while the sheer volume of charges against officials might leave some with the impression that certain people were being targeted, the sole reason was to turn the organisation around.
The committee was generally positive about developments at Crime Intelligence since Jacobs's appointment last year.
