SCOTLAND YARD EMBRACES SCORPIONS

NATIONAL Director of Public Prosecution Bulelani Ngcuka and London’s Commissioner of Metropolitan Police John Stevens have produced a formal draft agreement on closer co-operation following last week’s four day visit by members of Scotland Yard to South Africa. They also met with the elite investigation unit, the Scorpions, and SA Police Service senior officers in Pretoria and Cape Town. Areas like recruit training and new forensic science were discussed.
