The following posts were identified as critical vacancies:
1 x Sub Section Commander: Human Resource Management (Salary level 8).
1 x Principal Personnel Officer (Salary level 7).
The proposed promotion posts were requested from the South African Police Service (SAPS) Head Office as critical funded posts in terms of the allocated posts to the province.
During the 2016/2017 financial year, the Gauteng Province received an allocation of
1 320 entry-level Police Act employees. This allocation was scientifically distributed and approved by the Provincial Commissioner, to all 142 stations within Gauteng, by utilising the following criteria:
The Gauteng Province receives an entry-level allocation every financial year, but unfortunately this allocation does not meet the human resource demands of the various business units in the province. Cluster Commanders are therefore advised to ensure the equal distribution of Human Resources within the cluster, taking into consideration the fixed establishment.
The Gauteng Province is currently busy with a project in terms of which police stations with a surplus of members within the Visible Policing environment have been instructed to identify and redeploy members to their Detective Service environment, where there is a general shortage of personnel. Furthermore, Police Stations are also instructed to redeploy experienced Visible Policing members to the Detective Service environment when they receive their new entry-level allocation.
The Putfontein Police Station is a leased facility. The owners have been engaged regarding the poor conditions of the Police Station as, in accordance with the lease agreement, it is their responsibility to ensure that the facility is properly maintained.
The need for an alternative Police Station was included in the Provincial User Asset Management Plan (UAMP) for the 2017/2018 financial year. The Divisional Commissioner: Supply Chain Management has been requested to source a proper alternative facility.
