Palapye Volunteers Complain About Poor Police Service

At a meeting held in the Palapye main Kgotla on Thursday, volunteers complained of the poor response from police officers since they relocated to the newly opened station.

They said holding suspects on the scene of crime for long periods often leads to criminals taunting them and the response they get from police is not encouraging. “Since the new police station opened, police officers are not responding urgently. They normally take long hours - like three hours- to show up at the scene -  therefore, I request some officers to be redeployed to the old police station,” requested Salome Mogano, a police volunteer from Boikago ward.
