Hawks fleet boosted with new cars to widen operational footprint
From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.
Sashnee Moodley:
The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, also known as the Hawks, was given a new fleet of cars last month to improve its response time and broaden the national footprint of the investigative branch of the police. Thabi Shomolekae has the story.
Thabi Shomolekae:
Police Minister Bheki Cele handed over 22 VW Golf 8 GTIs to the Hawks and noted that transport resources were an indispensable addition in the fight against day-to-day and organised crime, saying he had no doubt that the vehicles would have a major impact in the Hawks’s operations.
Police Minister Bheki Cele:
Thabi Shomolekae:
Cele said the Hawks should use the cars with the utmost care and diligence, warning officers that the vehicles were procured for a specific purpose.
Police Minister Bheki Cele:
Thabi Shomolekae:
For the 2023/24 financial year, the Hawks procured 62 motor vehicles, which included 40 VW Polo sedans that have been already distributed to the provinces and the 22 VW Golf 8 GTIs.
Head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya explains the distribution process.
Head of the DPCI, Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya:
Thabi Shomolekae:
Meanwhile, Cele expressed concern with the high number of police killings, calling on the DPCI and the South African Police Service to work together on prevention.
