Detectives: The Branch Commander had only been at the station for a period of one month but had already begun to put in place measures to address the problems with detectives at the Loate police station. The Branch Commander has faith in his Group Commanders and the Committee felt that with the necessary support from the Station Commander, the Cluster and the Province he should be able to improve the performance of the detectives under his command. The detectives currently have a two star ranking at the station. It should be noted that two detectives had recently been dismissed for corruption and another 3 were on suspension for corruption. They had also been criminally charged and their cases will be heard on 14 September 2011.
