[Fwd: More than 10 000 SA cops in jail]

More than 10 000 police officers were serving jail time countrywide, the
Sowetan newspaper reported on Tuesday.

National police commissioner General Bheki Cele made the statement at
the funeral of three Amersfoort police officers shot dead last week.

Cele said well over 10 000 police officers were in jail, without saying
how many had been sentenced and how many were awaiting trial prisoners.

The Independent Complaints Directorate said these statistics would be
released in September. - Sapa
