1. DO NOT contact IPID (Independant Police Investigate Directorate) directly at first. IPID have a reputation of passing down logged calls to SAPS prior to an investigation + are more likely to begin an investigation once you have certainty on your legal position in the matter.

2. If you are unable to access *advice* from an attorney (in any speciality), make use of the
Legal Aid Advice Line (Toll Free): 0800 110 110 Or send a PCM through 079 835 7179

here you will be able to get an idea of your legal position in the matter, and how to proceed.

3. should you need legal representation during the investigation, and qualify for Pro-Bono/ free legal representation (earning under +/-R5000),
Contact the above toll free numbers or visit the branch offices listed on the http://Legal-Aid.co.za"> http://Legal-Aid.co.za  site (reg updated due to Covid)..

3. * here a provided legal professional will help you to compile a Police Misconduct Report, without having to visit a SAPS office alone / at all.

4. Log your complaint/ report with IPID instead of SAPS directly (pigs defend pigs)
IPID site: http://www.icd.gov.za/node/4 ">https://www.icd.gov.za/node/4&qu... or contact: 012 399 0000 (toll free)

5. Remember to keep a detailed record of everything from the incident and throughout the investigation including the officers / IPID members who you have reported the incident to !
