The ICD is committed to the effective implementation of the Domestic Violence Act (DVA). A plan of action was devised to audit all police stations in the country before the cycle is repeated. Subsequently no station was audited more than once during the period July to December 2009. The SAPS website indicates that there are currently 1 114 police stations nationally. The ICD's target for the 2009/10 financial year was to audit at least 200 stations. During the period July to December 2009, the ICD audited 241 police stations and, in so doing, already exceeded the target set for the financial year in question. Audit reports are sent to the station commissioners following each visit and follow-ups are carried out by means of reports, compiled by the station commissioners, to establish whether the ICD's recommendations have been implemented.
