The average international police to population ratio is 1:400. The EC population is 7.1 m, whereas police members (excluding civilians) is 15486. The applicable ratio is therefore 1:445
Using a similar comparison of the number of police officers versus ICD investigators, the Eastern Cape office has 8 investigators versus 15486 police officers.
Therefore, the ratio is 1:1936. If we want to staff our office to a more reasonable level of 1 investigator for every 408 police officers, we will need a total of 38 investigators.
