SAPS stations in a volatile state: Study
The National Institute for Security Studies says vigilante and robbery activities happening at different police stations highlights the vulnerability of these stations.
This has raised concerns, with activists saying that police are tasked with protecting citizens, though they cannot secure their own stations. “We have seen for a number of years sporadic attacks on police stations, either by community members angry and protesting against crime and seeking justice in their community. We’re also seeing criminals robbing police stations, especially of their firearms. We also know that protest actions increase as we’re ahead of elections. Some of the police stations have indicated that they are vulnerable. like banks, police stations have many valuable items in them that are often the target of criminals.
