Juvenile Offender

Apart from record keeping, the section is responsible in ensuring that before a juvenile is released on Licence, they open a Criminal Bureau book file in respect of that juvenile and the number is sent to the Reformatory or any approved school where he or she is serving or about to be released.

After all has been done, the reformatory or approved school then complete ZP form 18 and take portrait photographs of them and forward to criminal Record Office where a criminal record file is prepared and afterwards forwarded to the stations where the released juvenile is expected to reside.

The introduction of computer has made this work even more easy and reliable because information can be captured and kept safely within the shortest possible time.
