Ombud addresses complaints against the Hawks

The Hawks Ombud has confirmed that the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation in Gauteng, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal often fails to provide regular feedback to crime victims and, at times, commits misconduct during warrant executions. The body also found that some of the pressures that lead to public complaints are directly attributed to poor work conditions linked to structural challenges within the Hawks. These include financial constraints, limited manpower and resources. This emerged during the Hawks Ombud's feedback session in Pretoria to members of the Hawks from various provinces.
