ANA reports that the United National Transport Union (Untu) on Sunday urged the SA Police Service (SAPS) to re-establish the railway police as it existed before it was incorporated into the regular police in 1986.
General Secretary Steve Harris said in a statement: “We need dedicated railway police who are permanently stationed at the stations and on the trains and who will priorities the combating of any crime committed.” Harris went on to note that the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) recently described the integration of the railway police in 1986 into the police as an excellent example of how this led to neglect of local crime and service delivery priorities.
