THE Independent Complaints Directorate on Thursday denied claims by the South African Police Union in the Western Cape that it is conducting a witch-hunt against police. About 50 police members gathered at the ICD offices on Wednesday where Sapu provincial secretary Billy Daniels handed over a memorandum to the directorate’s regional director Riaz Saloojee. This followed the bail hearing of Hout Bay policeman Andre Ferreira, arrested last week for allegedly shooting a robbery suspect during an attempted escape. The union threatened that members of the SA Police Service would hand in their firearms at the ICD offices in protest on June 2, should their demands not be met within 48 hours.
