Background 

The ability to charge for police services is generally determined by statutory provisions. This guidance covers four main areas:  

  • Ukuhlinzekwa koPhiko Lwezinkonzo Zamaphoyisa Ezikhethekile ngokwesicelo sanoma yimuphi umuntu ngaphansi kweSigaba 25 soMthetho Wamaphoyisa 1996 (njengoba uchitshiyelwe) okwenza lezo zinsizakalo zibe ngaphansi kokukhokhwa kwezindleko njengoba kunqunywe yi-PCC. Izinsizakalo zamaphoyisa ezikhethekile ngokuvamile zihlobene nomcimbi wamaphoyisa, isb, ikhonsathi ye-pop, noma uchungechunge lwemicimbi, isb, imidlalo yebhola lezinyawo.  

  • Isigaba sama-26 soMthetho ka-1996 sisebenzisa izidingo ezifanayo ekuhlinzekweni kwezinsizakalo zamaphoyisa ngenhla kodwa sisebenza lapho zilethwa khona phesheya kwezilwandle.

Lokhu kungase kuhlanganise izinsizakalo ezihlinzekwa ngokuncintisana nabanye abahlinzeki, isb, ukuqeqeshwa noma ukunakekelwa kwemoto, lapho izinkokhiso zizobonisa amanani emakethe, noma izinsizakalo njengomkhiqizo wemisebenzi yamaphoyisa ewumongo njengokuhlinzekwa kwemibiko yokushayisana.

The charges have been determined by the NPCC based on an analysis of costs to provide these services so as to ensure that the public are fully reimbursed for any services provided. This has recently been updated to take account of the 2023/24 pay increase.
