Divisional Head, Asset Protection Services

The problem with the TMPD structure arose from June 2025 when the structure changed and got approved to accommodate Commissioner Spies, while before that the position was Divisional Head, Asset Protection Services.

“The problem was ... when I looked at the appointment requirements ... these appointment requirements are earmarking specific individual ... The structure of the TMPD before June was the Divisional Head, Asset Protection Services. Now, he got appointed whilst the structure was talking to Divisional Head ... It was only in June that the structure was changed and got approved.”

The position that was advertised was not the one that existed in the structure before June 2025—the pre-existing position was Divisional Head, Asset Protection Services, not Deputy Chief, Asset Protection Services.

“The position that existed prior the advertisement was the Divisional Head, Asset Protection Services, not the Deputy Chief, Asset Protection Services.”
