THE ongoing head count in the police force is crucial to determine the exact number of police officers in the country, the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, Obedingwa Mguni, has said.
The head count started in Bulawayo province over the weekend and in the next two days it is set to reach the Midlands province.
Mguni said after the head count, the figures will be used to map the way forward in terms of possible recruitment.
In Bulawayo province, police officers on Saturday reported for the head count.
They were required to present their current pay slips as proof of being on the government’s pay roll.
Police officers were also supposed to show the period they have served in the service together with their academic certificates.
