They announce this as if it is some kind of achievement, when this should have been done 15 years ago.
 
National police commissioner General Riah Phiyega launched South Africa's first e-police station in Kabokweni, Mpumalanga on Friday, during National Police Day celebrations.

The computerised police station would be able to save dockets and other important information relating to police work and administration, a Sapa correspondent reported.

Phiyega was accompanied by Deputy Police Minister Maggie Sotyu and Mpumalanga community safety, security and liaison MEC Vusi Shongwe.

It was hoped that taking statements on computers would avoid dockets going missing.

Phiyega said the e-station would be able to track the movement of police cars.

"We will be able to see where our officers are spending time with state vehicles, and we will end this thing where state cars are needed and officers are doing their own business.

"Now we will be able to track them and call them, and also see the closest car at a time," she said.

Said Sotyu: "As this is a pilot project we look forward to the police working well with the community."

Speaking at the Kabokweni police station later, Shongwe said he was disappointed that there were 111 taverns in the area.

"That means you guys are swimming in alcohol. I promise that today, and other days in our overall Friday operations, we will start here," he said.

So they want to close businesses? Their time will be better utilised catching the real criminals, they should start in house!

All of Mpumalanga and only one e-police station.

Do you guys up there live in the bush or something? Dodging wildebeest and giraffes on the way to work are we?
 
So until now not a single thing was saved electronically? I had no idea

And they can't track where cop cars are the send the closest one to a call? Private security companies are really light years ahead of them

As the comment below yours says. We don't even support the SAPS, private security companies are the only way anything gets done.

Been working onsite at the SAPS for the last year on and off. The amount of money spent on their tech and the smart people they have contracted to get things running is astounding. What's even more astounding is how retarded the ground force personnel are and how they manage to **** up everything they get within hours of receiving it.
 
And to which cadre did this tender go to for substandard equipment at 4 x the price??

Tracking of police vehicles has been in use for some time and proved useless because the system was down most of the time and never "managed" anything.

Pizz our money away won't you!!
 
the corrupt elements thrive on chaos , they will find a way to make this system useless so they can survive.
 
Step in the right direction.

What we really want though is for license bookings, renewals, paying of fines etc. to be computerised and made available on the internet.
 
And then? The server grows feet?
They can't look after their own guns. Who is going to do the backups?

they couldn't even manage paperwork. Now thousands of dockets will be lost with one burglary?

And when they have no power or loadshedding.


FFs. More money spent on something not thought through. How many years have they tried to impliment the firearm system?
 
They cannot write a statement by hand, ( had to write it myself the other day ), how are they gojng to do so on a computer?

Eish!!

No can help, comma becka wen da loada shedding, shee hasa gona ...
 
Who are they trying to kid? Snapscan for when the public doesn't have cash for bribes is the only thing needed for the South African police to do e-policing.
