KSS Incident Report 1 - 15 September 2025

Dear KSS Clients

Reporting crimes to your local SAPS
Please report any crime, no matter how small, to your local SAPS and Security Service Provider. If you have items stolen it is important that you open a case and get a CAS number. Reporting crime to the South African Police Services is very important.

KSS Staff are happy to support and guide you through the process.

The SAPS will open a case docket and investigate the crime, effecting arrests of suspects and presenting the case to courts for prosecution.

• The Process:
  When a person has been a victim of crime, they can contact the police by dialing 10111 or visit their nearest Police Station. If a Police Official attends the crime scene, they will obtain a statement from the complainant and witnesses if possible.
• The Police Official will then go to the Police Station and register the case in the SAPS Crime Administration System (CAS) and give the complainant the reference which is called a CAS number.
• The complainant must ensure that he/she retains this CAS number as a reference for future enquiries regarding the criminal case.
• If the complainant visits the local Police Station to report the crime, they will be attended to in the Community Service Centre by a Police Official. The Police Official will first interview and then take a statement from the complainant and register the reported crime into the CAS file.
• The complainant will then be given a CAS number which must be used for all enquiries regarding the reported criminal case.
• The completed case docket is then allocated to a Police Detective who will carry out the investigation and all enquiries can then be directed to this detective.
• The Detective in charge of the particular case will complete the investigation and present the docket to the relevant court for prosecution.
• The complainant will be notified by the Detective when he/she is to attend the court hearings.
