Police, Racism

In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS (18 June 2020).

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing): The Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services has advised:

1. No.

2. SAPOL does not racially profile. SAPOL is developing cultural capability training to be delivered across the organisation and an associated refresher program delivered on a three yearly cycle to ensure the organisation achieves and maintains cultural capability. SAPOL is also developing a cultural capability self-assessment tool to measure the organisation's journey towards cultural capability, with self-assessment to be carried out prior to the implementation of the new program and again at a point in the future once training has been delivered.

3. SAPOL does not have a racism problem and the nature and tone of this question is offensive.
