POPCRU PRESS RELEASE, For immediate release, 27th September 2006
=Developments in SAPS have our blessing=

POPCRU welcomes the announcement made about the deployment of additional officers who shall in various police stations in Gauteng. This step, which shall bolster the crime busting initiative by the police, remains a step of pivotal importance in ensuring that our members are not put in a position where they can be overwhelmed by criminal elements.

We are however aware that this development, which shall play a complementary role to, the restructuring that is unfolding in the SAPS will not be embraced by everybody. It is only logical to expect a handful of some within the policing fraternity to be unhappy as a result of this development that will see them leaving their air – conditioned offices and revolving chairs to be directly involved in the war against crime from the most decisive front, which are the streets of our country. We commend the Department of Safety and Security for this innovative approach and call upon all our members to co-operate with those in charge of this process to ensure that it unfolds as smoothly as possible. In the same breath we encourage the Management of the SAPS to ensure that communication structures and channels double their efforts of ensuring that information dissemination is enhanced in order to avoid a situation where those who are opposed to transformation is the police service use the lame excuse of consultation to oppose the developments that are bound to unfold in the SAPS.
