Two Tshwane metro police department officers were arrested by their counterparts over the weekend in Diepsloot, Johannesburg, for operating outside their assigned area using a private vehicle.
“In the second incident, two TMPD members were found using an unofficial breathalyser on a member of the public on the N1 South near Lynnwood Road. The matter is also being investigated.”
“As per the directive, the public has the following rights: you have the right, and are in fact encouraged, to ask TMPD officers for their appointment certificates [a card identifying them as a police officer].” “I welcome and support this initiative by the acting chief of police together with the MMC for community safety, Grandi Theunissen. It is important that we work together to clean up the TMPD and restore the people’s trust in our metro police,” said Brink.
