Metropolitan Police officers do pursue suspects into other municipalities when in operational activities, even without formal requests for assistance in writing.
“if there is a request ... which request would be in writing?... We conduct operations outside Ekurhuleni if there is a request”
Metropolitan Police officers do actively pursue suspects into other municipal jurisdictions even when there has been no formal written request for assistance.
“they get information now that you must go to that. They do do that... So you do that even where there has not been a request for assistance”
It is the understanding that SAPS regulations permit Police to continue pursuit of suspects beyond their jurisdiction until arrest, even without an agreement.
“My understanding, at least, of the law is the regulations, the SAPS regulations permit you, by you I mean the Metropolitan Police Department, to continue with a pursuit that originates in your jurisdiction even if it goes beyond the borders”
