The EMPD views the recent incident in which a metro police officer was involved in an altercation with a member of the public <\/a>in a very serious light.<\/p>\n

The GCN\u2019s sister paper Bedfordview and Edenvale News<\/a> reported on the incident, as well as another incident in the same week.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The complainant opened a criminal case at the Edenvale Police Station and has met with the EMPD\u2019s Integrity and Standards Unit.<\/p>\n

The EMPD immediately started investigating the matter and is appealing to anyone who can assist with the investigation to come forward.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The outcome of the investigation will determine what further action should be taken.<\/p>\n

If a member of the public finds themselves in a similar situation they can report the incident to EMPD spokesman Lieut-Col Wilfred Kgasago on 083 652 9914 or email to wilfred.kgasago@ekurhuleni.gov.za<\/p>\n
