The Constitution prescribes Community Policing as the style
of policing to be adopted by the South African Police Service
to meet the safety and security requirements of all people
in the country.
Fundamental transformation is therefore needed to ensure
that the SAPS develops into a community-oriented policing
service which adopts a consultative approach to meeting the
safety and security needs of the community it serves; a service
which therefore becomes more accessible, acceptable, more
efficient and effective.
