. The Wierdabrug Police Station is almost functioning outside of the policy and legal framework and is actually in a state of collapse. . The allegations by the CPF of corrupt practices by the police and the alleged involvement of detectives in crime in the area are a cause of serious concern. Such allegations were confirmed by senior managers at provincial level. . The fact that the CPF has its own call centre which directs calls from the public to the station might be problematic in the long-term. . The SAPS 13 and the archives are in a mess. . Lack of control over SAPS and SAPS 13 firearms including the fact that many SAPS 13 firearms are not kept in the safe. . There is a severe shortage of detectives but also extremely poor management of detectives. . The absence of volunteers for years in the Victim Support Centre might be an indication of poor management of victims of abuse.
