Discipline: There was a high rate of absenteeism at the station. There were two outstanding disciplinary cases. The Station Commander was not happy with the discipline of student constables. One of the measures taken to deal with abuse of sick leave was to ensure that all sick leave applications pass through the Station Commanders office rather than the office of the member's immediate supervisor. The Committee supports these measures to reduce absenteeism. Leave information requested by the Committee was not made immediately available. A total of 81 disciplinary cases were reported in 2010 and 32 in the period March 2011 to date. One member of the SAPS was arrested and is in custody.
