JOHANNESBURG, June 30 (Xinhua) -- South Africa's security plan for the 2010 Soccer World Cup was handed to soccer's ruling body FIFA on Monday, Deputy National Police Commissioner Andre Pruis said.

"I think FIFA will be satisfied with the draft security plan that we have handed them," Pruis said.

He said 41,092 police officers would be deployed for the cup above those already deployed for normal policing.

Pruis also said the police has started procuring items needed to police the event, including water cannons, body armour, 100 BMW's for route patrols, mobile police stations for the stadium, 300 surveillance cameras, helicopters and unmanned surveillance aircraft.
