Police Annual Report 2001

Foreword

The past year was a particularly hectic and eventful one for the Royal Swaziland Police Service.

At the apex of major criminal cases, which characteristically drew wide local and international media focus, was the discovery of human bones littered across the length and breadth of a forest in Malkerns.

This grim discovery was attributed to the machinations of an alleged serial killer. Through the assiduousness of our officers, a suspect was arrested, and is due to stand trial as soon as all scientific investigations have been concluded.

The launch of "Operation Recover Illegal Firearms" also ranks as one of the important highlights of the past policing year. This operation was initiated in a bid to curb the incidence of violent crime, perpetuated to a large extent, through the usage of illegal firearms. Though still on-going, it suffices to note that the operation has been a resounding success.

Needless to point out, all our relentless striving for a crime free Swaziland, can, without the support and assistance of members of the public, friendly sister forces, local and foreign Governments and private companies, prove to be in vain.

It is my sincerest hope that such co-operation accorded to our Organisation, will strengthen and fossilize in the coming year.

Part I
Organisation and Administration
The Royal Swaziland Police Service, is an organization tasked with the noble, yet herculean responsibility of discharging the following critical functions:-
· Preservation of peace
· The protection of life and property
· The maintenance of law and order 
· The prevention and detection of criminal offences
· The apprehension of offenders and bringing them to justice

The organization, which was established in terms of the Police and Public Order Act No. 29 of 1957, has what may be termed as 'branches' spread throughout the country with four (4) police regions and the headquarters located in the capital city of Mbabane.

The Regions are: -

* Hhohho Region in the North
* Manzini Region in the Central part of the country
* Lubombo Region in the Eastern part
* Shiselweni Region in the Southern part of the country
* The Police Headquarters is located in the Capital City of    Mbabane, in the Hhohho Region.

a) The four (4) Regional Headquarters are located in Mbabane in the case of Hhohho, Manzini in the case of Manzini Region, Siteki in the case of Lubombo Region and Nhlangano in the case of Shiselweni Region.

Promotions and Appointments:-

 Promotions

There is the Royal Swaziland Police Service, Promotion Policy and Procedure, which succinctly outlines the requirements for and procedures to be observed with regard to promotion.  However, there are general qualification benchmarks, for a person to be considered for promotion, which include inter alia.

Good conduct, professional knowledge of the work, aptitude for supervision, good temper, good manner and address, sobriety, proper attitude of courtesy towards general public, energy and efficiency in the discharge of police duties, loyalty, good communication skills, innovation, honesty, integrity and competency.

(vi) Health and Social Welfare  (Health and hospitalization)

 Officers Sick/Dead

The high staff turnover continues to be a suppurating sore for the Royal Swaziland Police Service. The loss, largely of young and upcoming officers, through early retirement on medical grounds, as well as death, is indeed cause for concern.

Though the causes of death are usually a source of wild speculation, it would be naive of us not to acknowledge the fact that the HIV/AIDS pandemic has also put its weight to bear. It is an undisputable fact also that as Police officers we are occupationally pre-disposed to contracting this abominable virus.
 
On the same vein, I, on behalf of the entire police organisation would like to extend our sincerest sympathies to the families and friends of officers who have passed away during the course of the past year and entreat the Lord Almighty, to comfort them during such trying times.

Health

Number of persons reported sick            =  201
Number of persons placed off duty          =  115
Number of persons admitted at hospital   =  231
Number of persons who retired                =     20
Number of persons who passed away       =    37

 Part II
Police College, Training and Career Development

Training

As an organization, we always lay emphasis on the importance of providing adequate, relevant and up to date training for our personnel.  We subscribe to the school of thought that, it is the only proven way to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.  Hence, we are convinced that training is a primary instrument for sustaining and improving the capacities of employees to enable them to contribute meaningfully to organizational efforts.

TRAINING WING
 
During the year 2001, the service recruited the highest number of trainees, which made it to be full to capacity.  Also, a number of in-service courses were run concurrently with the basic recruit training courses.

TRAINING PLANNING UNIT

The establishment of the Training Planning Unit within the halls of the Royal Swaziland Police marks the realization of a long cherished dream. The dream has as its genesis in a consultancy report submitted in mid 1998, by Chief Superintendent W. Scurlock, from Training Support Harrogate and Mr. Riddout, the then Training Consultant.

In the report, it was observed that we as a Police Service lacked a systematic approach to the identification and prioritisation of training needs to be in tandem with the overall strategic objectives.

It was succinctly spelt out in the Scurlock and Riddout Report that the Training shortfall could be adequately addressed through the establishment of a Training Planning Unit.
It is envisaged that this unit will focus on the following functions: -

· Preparation of structured training programmes for delivery in all regions
· Instructor training for Regional Training staff
· The preparation of specific training packages in conjunction with specialist branches
· Preparation of proficiency examinations for the ranks of Constable and Sergeant
· Identification of training needs.

Special accolades are forwarded to the British Government for having generously availed the technical expertise through the Department For International Development (DFID), which facilitated the establishment of the unit.

COMMAND STUDIES

1. Introduction 

The Command Wing has strived successfully to run most of the courses, workshops and seminars that were scheduled for the year 2001 including some which were not originally planned during the course of the year.   However, some did not take off because of various factors, which impinge destiny to provide professional knowledge, skills and quality of service for all our officers.  Such problems includes amongst others: -

v Shortage of accommodation due to the massive recruitment.
v Cancellation of some specialist courses at the last moment as will be seen on the list.

Facilitation:

This department utilizes personnel within the organization who possesses the requisite skills and qualifications in various fields of study.   It also utilizes the services of SIMPA for Command Courses.

Training and Career Development office

The office of the career development and training is responsible for training and career development in the Royal Swaziland Police Service. It co-ordinates internal and external courses. During the year under review, the Royal Swaziland Police Service continued to have courses internally and externally.

Part III

Complaints/Discipline, Legal Affairs, Finance Branch and Research & Planning sections.

COMPLAINTS AND DISCIPLINE

It has since become the pre-occupation of some sectors of our society, to ascend a high moral pedestal and vilify the police for so-called brutality and violation of 'human rights'. Granted, as police officers, we are no paragons of saintliness, but we feel and justifiably so, that complaints need to be reviewed against the backloth of these circumstances:-
· The increased frequency of daily contacts between the police and the community.
· Cognisance of the fact that police officers are at the forefront in dealing with the main unsavoury problems of society, which often invariably lead to confrontation.
· The sacrosanct and common sense premised fact that, in eight out of ten occasions, whenever lawful arrests are effected, they are met with frenzied resistance, under which circumstances , it becomes necessary to counter with minimum force.

Nonetheless, it is morale boosting, to realize that expressions of appreciation still by far, exceed the number of complaints.

According to the chart hereunder, failure to take timeous action by police officers, accounted for much of the complaints lodged. To address this problem before it grows to unacceptable proportions, we have ratified and operationalised the service charter policy, which has set standards and / or benchmarks for responding to distress calls. For example, in urban areas, we have committed ourselves to respond at least, within 5 minutes to any reported incident.

4)   STAFF HOUSING

The acute problems of the shortage of accommodation in the force is continually growing from strength to strength.  However Government is fully aware of this dishearting state of affairs and as a result Two (2) blocks of flats equipment to 16 housing units are on construction at Mbabane.

One block of flats = 8 housing units at Lomahasha
One block of flats = 8 housing units at Big-bend
One block of flats = 8 housing units at Hlatikhulu and area at an advantage                                 stage.  

5) REPLACEMENT: MBABANE POLICE STATION

Work on the construction of the above project started in August 2001. The pilling of soil is completed.  The project is exclusively handled by Private Contractors and progress is pleasing so far.  Final completion is expected in October 2003.

6) REHABILITATION PROGRAMME

For the year 2001/2002 Government provided funds to the total sum of E177,000 for the rehabilitation of Police buildings, only Police College and Ngwenya Border Gate, which were in a serious state of dilapidation and disrepair.  With the funds, only one lecture room, mess block were renovated at Police College.

7) PUBLIC OPINION SURVEY ON THE QUALITY OF SERVICE RENDERED AT POLICE FORMATIONS

In an effort to improve the quality of service and accountability at police formations, the Royal Swaziland Police conducted a public opinion survey whose objectives were;
(1) To determine the degree of the quality of service provided by the police to he public.
(2) To determine the extent to which the police relate with communities regarding crime and public safety related matters.
(3) To identify factors that underpin services provided by the police.
(4) To determine the level of knowledge the public has about the police service charter, and
(5) To examine and analyse the socio-economic status of the respondents.
This study was more of an introspection into the police service's way of conducting business.
The methodology employed was a descriptive type of research design in which both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. Convenient sampling was used, and a sample of (6007) six thousand and seven respondents was drawn from the four regions of Swaziland. These were people who were willing to participate in the fourty two police formations. The results are forthcoming but revealed competency and a good degree of service provided.

2. CRIME IN GENERAL

The 2001 policing year began with the noble objective to prevent the occurrence of crime in general, and thus our target was to reduce it by 10%. Specifically the 10% reduction was aimed at serious crimes. If the 10% reduction proves unassailable, the counter strategy was to increase the detection rate by a reciprocal 10%.
Although the probability of success depends on a myriad of other factors, it is worth reporting that positive achievements were attained in some of the crimes whilst in others we were met with limited success. Relatively, the rate of increase of crimes in general reported in 2001 has increased as compared to the year 2000.

In year 2000 the general crime increase was 1.5% whereas in year 2001 it was 6.12%, an increase from the previous year, which is an indication of an upward trend, which tends to resist our endeavours to attain the 10% reduction target. There are however many economic and social factors that contribute to this scenario.

Palpably most regrettable in this upward trend as already alluded to was the unprecedented increase in violent crime, incestuous rape and sexual abuse of children.

In order to curtail this state of affairs, which has the propensity of not only heightening the public fear of crime, but also eroding the moral fibre of society, certain measures have been put into place. Amongst these, is the formation of the Serious Crimes Unit alias Lukhozi and the Child and Women Abuse Unit. Furthermore, courses and workshops were conducted for both detective and uniformed braches in order to imbue them with the necessary skills of dealing with this dimension of crime.

The following list are prioritised crimes which continue to be of national concern to both the police and members of the public in general.

- Rape (including sexual abuse of children).
- Homicide (especially cases involving firearms).
- Armed robbery (where firearms are involved).
- Car theft.
- Car hijacking (where firearms are involved).
- House breaking and thefts.
- Stock thefts.
- Illegal supply of drugs and firearms.

Brief comments about some of the priority crimes are as follows:-

2. Rape Cases

There were 658 cases of rape reported in the year 2001 which is a decrease of 116 of cases from previous year  showing a decrease of 15%.

The following statistics of rape cases involving children under 16 years exhibit some upward trend regrettable in spite of numerous campaigns and wake up calls against HIV/AIDS.  The vigorous campaigns by the Swaziland Action Group Against Abuse (SWAGAA) has immensely contributed to our success in bringing to book a considerable number of cases involving blood relatives and other abusers.

The rate of increase for the  past three years consecutively has shown a diminishing trend from 1999 with 9.57%, 2000 with 7.35% but year 2001 has recovered and decrease of 15%.

2.2 Homicide cases
There were 184 cases of murder reported during the year under review and this was an increase of 42 cases in 2001. It must be noted that this figure has been bloated by the victims of the alleged serial killings.

2.3 Armed Robbery
There were 2520 cases reported during the year, which showed an increase of 422 cases which is 16% increase. Despite the on going operation recover illegal firearms, the influx of such still continues unabated.

2.4 House breaking and theft
There were 7277 cases reported during the year with an increase of 389 cases which is 5.3%.

2.5 Stock theft

There were 1465 cases reported during the year whereas 1295 cases were reported in 2000 recording an increase 170 cases which is 11.60%.

MISSING PERSONS

1. 739 persons were reported missing during the year under review of which 128 were below the age of 10 years.  206 persons were between the ages of 11 and 16  years.  340 persons were subsequently found alive and 399 persons were still  missing at the end of the year.

2.  In most cases it is found that the majority of missing children are from single
parents. It has also been observed that in most cases they abscond to live with their other parents or get stolen by such parents who do not live with the children in question.

3. It is also common that children between the ages of 10 years flee their homes and
join other street kids in towns.  In other instances females on reaching adolescent stages usually visit their boyfriends without the consent or knowledge of their parents and thus they are reported missing.  Minors above the age of 16 years usually leave their homes to look for employment locally or else where, with adults the cause is mainly family violence resulting in one of the partners absconding and this is very common with women.

THE STATE OF CRIME

1. 43128 (excluding traffic offences were reported)  during the year.  In 2000 there
      were 38284 cases reported making an increase of 4259 cases for the year.

2. A total of 13751 cases were brought forward from 2000 and these cases pending
       investigation awaiting trail at the end of the year.

3. A total of 53462 cases were handled by Police in 2001.

4. 6100 cases were tried by the High court Magistrate court convictions obtained in 4402 cases and acquittals in 125 cases.

5. 8065 cases were tried by Swazi National courts convictions obtained in 7473 and acquittals in 592 cases.

6. Cases where the accused were found to be too young to be prosecuted, mentally ill or dead amounted to 150.  Cases which were not accepted  resulting from mistake of facts or law frivolous or false complaints ant insufficient evidence amounted to 1069 cases.

7. At the end of the year 8096 cases were pending investigation and 7573 were awaiting trail.

8. 20137 cases were closed undected.

9. 4899 cases were otherwise disposed off.

Car Theft Unit

1. The car theft had been in existence for some years until November 2001 where it was dissolved and incorporated into the new established Serious Crime Unit alias "Lukhozi".

This unit is responsible for investigating all serious offences including hijacked and stolen motor vehicles in the country.  The officers are based at the Police Regional Headquarters of each region.

2. When one looks on the overview of the hijackings and thefts of motor vehicles in the whole country one can conclude that these crimes have gone down compared to the three previous years.  In 1999 523 motor vehicles were reported hijacked and stolen.  In the year 2000 a total of robbed and stolen motor vehicles were 481, while in the current year 2001 only 334 motor vehicles were reported robbed and stolen from their owners.

These motor vehicles were hijacked and stolen in different ways such as at gunpoint, usage of dangerous weapons and by other means.

3. The total numbers above indicate that the reduction in 2001 was 147 motor vehicles out of 481 motor vehicles in 2000, which is a percentage reduction of 30.56%, which is a very good achievement.

Motor vehicles that were stolen were 207 and those that were recovered were 89 and those still under investigation are 118.  The recovery rate is not so impressive so more effort has to be applied.

Motor vehicles that were hijacked in the current year 2001 were 127 while that were recovered are 66 and 61 motor vehicles are still outstanding.

4. Motor vehicles which were seized and impounded of being suspected to be stolen from neighbouring states in the current year are 202 while in the year 2000 they were 256 motor vehicles which is a decrease of 154.

Motor vehicles that were repatriated to neighbouring countries are 158, South Africa taking the largest share.

8. Suspects that were arrested and charged for the  hijacking  and stealing of the motor vehicles in the  current year 2001 totaled to 52, while  the rest of cases are still under investigation.
9. Motor vehicles that are stolen in the country are punched in the X  - 400 machine and only 9 motor vehicles have been recovered through this system. Six (6) were repatriated from RSA back to Swaziland while three (30 were recovered in Mozambique.  Another three 930 have been recovered in Zimbabwe (2) and Mozambique (1) but not repatriated back to Swaziland yet.

10. This office is also entrusted with the keeping, maintenance and the issuance of the Sarpcco vehicle clearance to all motor vehicles that are going to be  re registered in other countries.

It is pleasing to report that there is  not even a single  police clearance book that has gone missing in our office, which indicates that the books are well secured.

Local motor vehicles that have been issued with these SARPCCO Police clearance for re-registration in countries other than Swaziland in the current year are 438.

NARCOTIC BUREAU

1. Members  of the specialist Narcotic Unit are stationed in all four (4) regions of the country and are based at each Regional Police Headquarters.  Members of the Narcotic Unit are responsible for the investigation of all illicit Narcotic Drug Trafficking and abuse in their respective regions.

2. Drug trafficking and abuse is posing a serious threat to society, not only for Swaziland but the entire international community.  Swaziland is internationally acclaimed as a cannabis grower country.  In the past, it has been known as a transit point for hard drugs and that status has since changed. Swaziland is now a consumer country of hard drugs and already addicted persons are being noticed.

3. Cannabis cultivation and trafficking have been listed as one of the prioritised crimes for the 2001-policing year.  In our effort to reduce cannabis cultivation, the anti-drug trafficking and abuse unit has been carrying-out a continuous spray operation, Four Hundred and Twenty Four (424) Hectares were destroyed using hand-spraying operation. The cannabis trafficking has found markets in overseas countries especially in U.K., U.S.A., Netherlands and Japan.

4. In a drive to reduce drug abuse and trafficking throughout the Kingdom of Swaziland, police were able to make nine (9) hard seizures and arrested 10 people.  Those arrested consisted of six (6) Swazis and four Foreigners.

5. A total of seven hundred and thirty seven (737) persons were arrested for all types of drugs, four hundred and seventy (470) persons were convicted, forty one (41) persons acquitted, eleven (11) had their cases withdrawn and one hundred and seventy six (176) were awaiting trial at the end of the year.

FORENSIC CHEMISTRY LABORATORY

LABORATORY ACTIVITIES

One hundred and thirty-nine (139) blood specimens were received for alcohol analysis (drunken driving) and the results had a range of 0.00 to 0.38 gram%.  The analytical tool was the Varian CP3380 GC with the Tekmar 7000 HS Autosampler and the Varian Star 5.5 Workstation.

One hundred and ninety (190) seized exhibits of suspected controlled substances were brought to the lab for analysis using the Hewlett-Packard HP6890/5973 GC-MSD System.  This system went out of order in July and a smaller Gas Chromatograph, the SR18610C GC with a Peaksimple Workstation was used for the rest of the year.

The findings were as follows:-

a) Dagga (Cannabis)

One hundred and seventy-nine (179) exhibits were found to contain the components of dagga: exhibits being herbal material (loose or compressed, including seeds).

b) Powders

Seven (7) exhibits were examined and were found to be heroin (diamorphine)

c) Crystals

One (1) exhibit was examined and found to be cocaine.

d) Tablets

Two (2) exhibits were examined; one was found to contain methaqualone and the other did not contain any drugs.

e) Miscellaneous

One (1) exhibit of liquids and crystals did not contain controlled substances, and one (1) arson exhibit contained petrol (97-octane rating)
 
COURT ATTENDANCES

The Chemist went to court to give evidence thirty-four (34) times.

EXHIBITS FOR TOXICOLOGY

Fifty (50) exhibits were received for analysis but less than half that number was done due to the breakdown of the GC-MSD system and the difficulty in sample preparation.

INTERPOL

International Criminal Police Organisation ICPO-Interpol

National Central Bureau (NCB)

The Interpol Office (NCB) is an International Police Organisational which is responsible for dealing with International Crime Criminal Investigation in all matters related to international criminal investigation or any related matters of police and judicial interest.

Residence/Work Permit Application Clearances

The NCB is also tasked with the verification of all applications for residence/work permit in the country.

During the year under review the Interpol office dealt with 757 applications from foreign national.  The number has shown a slight decrease as per the previous years due to the strong control of foreign influx especially Asian Nationals.

Our NCB discovered that only foreign investors are flocking to the country with intent to establish manufacturing industry.

Visa Application Clearances

Over 496 visa applications were received by our NCB office.  The forging of Visas has declined as compared to the last years.

Interpol Messages

The Interpol office received 6957 in coming messages from all member countries during the year 20001 and dispatched 706 messages to various member countries using X400 system and fax machine.  There were two (2) request submitted to IPSG (General Secretariat) for circulation in the Interpol notices.

Motor Vehicle Search

A total of 495 exported and imported cars were searched in the X400 system for police clearances only motor vehicles impored from South Africa are not searched in the ASF stolen motor vehicle database.

142 stolen motor vehicles were circulated in the ASF-Database and nine (9) out of these motor vehicles were positively identified by our sister Police Services as stolen.  There has been a tremendous decrease in the theft of motor vehicles possible due the formation of the new serious crime branch (Ukhozi)
There were identified as follows:

South Africa - 6
Mozambique - 3

Nominal Search

A total of 3063 local and foreign nationals were searched in the nominal ASF-Database.  None were positively identified as criminal recorded in the Interpol ASF-Database.

Forensic pathology

There are two police pathologists (Doctors Specialized in Forensic Medicine) stationed at Police Head Quarters.  Their duties are to apply the medical knowledge to help in the administration of Justice, like in murders, identification and sexual assaults etc.

They examine the skeletal remains, examine the mutilated parts and also they do exhumation (i.e. examination of the already burried dead body by digging it out) and conduct post-mortem examination  in the government hospital mortuaries in the main towns (Mbabane, Manzini, Siteki, Piggs Peak and Hlathikhulu). They attend the courts to give expert evidence, deliver lectures in forensic evidence to police, legal and medical personnel of Swaziland.

They preserve viscera and blood samples in cases of suspected poisoning and send these samples to the Police Headquarters laboratory.

They also preserve tissues for Histo-pathological examination (for confirmation of diseases and in violent deaths) and send to central laboratory, Manzini.

Conclusion

It is our fervent hope that the contents of this document will shed light on policing matters and related initiatives, thereby garnering the support of all stakeholders, which as earlier noted, is our lifeblood.
