      SA's population is the 27th largest in the world
           (there are 230 countries, only 80 have a
              population in excess of 10 million).

             # 02

           The current police to population ratio is
        approximately 1:308. This ranks South Africa

                      as the 9th best globally.

       There are 195,000 in the employ of SA Police.
         There are 411,000 in the employ of private
             security companies. TOTAL 606,000.
                       Divide by 53,000,000.
          Conclusion: for every 90 citizens there is

      someone looking after some or other aspect of
         safety and security. Or put differently 1250

 security 'officials' per 100,000 citizens! (Business Day)
