This problem is compounded by a severe shortage of vehicles for detectives. There are only 43 vehicles available for the 135 detectives and six of these vehicles were at the Government Garage at the time of the visit. There are thus approximately five detectives to each vehicle at any one time. In addition most of the vehicles have over 200 000 kilometres on their clocks. In one case, one has over 300 000. The cars often spend long periods in the garages. The Provincial Office stated that the detectives will receive 10 vehicles in the 2011/12 allocations.
