2.1 The following are the key research findings emanating from the work of the Task Team, into the area of the construction of police stations: . Since 1994, a total of 100 police stations have been constructed. Of these 100 police stations, only 31 are new police stations constructed in areas where no police station existed previously. The remaining 69 stations are re-established police stations whereby existing police stations are replaced by new structures on their existing sites or on new sites. Since 1994, a total of R6.25 billion (including the allocation for 2010/11) has been allocated to the Capital Works budget which includes (but is not limited to) expenditure for the construction of police stations. Conclusion: the high capital works budget since 1994 to date has not been used effectively to increase the number of police stations.
