The Crime Intelligence Division of the South African Police Service is an intelligence agency that tracks criminal elements within the Republic of South Africa. It is run by a Divisional Commissioner, who is also a member of the National Intelligence Co-Ordinating Committee (NICOC), to which they report.

The main functions of the CI division are:

  • Operational Support.
  • Crime Information Analysis Centre.
  • Crime Information Management Centre.
  • Counter Intelligence.
  • Covert Intelligence.
  • Crime Intelligence Collection.

In the 2020s, the Division has been under scrutiny by observers for misconduct.[1][2] In 2024, the head of Crime Intelligence for the Western Cape was formally dismissed under misconduct grounds.[3] In 2025, allegations were again raised against the police division, raising concerns around corruption, instability and leaks.[4][5][6]
