WESTERN CAPE. – Residents and visitors to the Western Cape who are dissatisfied with police service delivery can lodge a complaint with the Western Cape police ombudsman.

The Western Cape government says the police ombudsman investigates complaints about alleged police inefficiency and possible strain in relations between police and communities. The office is independent and impartial and can receive complaints from members of the public, including foreign citizens and tourists, as well as organised civil society organisations, members of the Western Cape provincial parliament and other departments or organisations. The office was established in terms of the Western Cape Community Safety Act of 2013. Complaints can be submitted online or the office can be contacted on weekdays between 07:00 and 16:00 at 021 483 0669.
