Boschkop Police Station is located at Plot 34 Boschkop Road, Mooiplaats, Pretoria, Gauteng, 0040, South Africa[1][3][7][8]. The station serves the rural and farming areas east of Pretoria and covers a jurisdiction of approximately 300 square kilometers, which includes around 50,000 residents[5].
Contact details for SAPS Boschkop are as follows:
- Phone: 012-8028230[1][2][3][7][8]

Operating hours are 24/7, with the station open every day, including weekends and public holidays[3].
The station faces significant resource challenges. A recent oversight report highlighted issues including a lack of vehicles and personnel—a 20% staff vacancy rate and only one patrol vehicle for visible policing in the entire area. The station also lacks functional holding cells, meaning arrested suspects must be transported to the Garsfontein station, over 20 kilometers away[5]. These factors impact the station’s ability to provide effective policing and crime prevention.
