"Strengthening the SAPS for a safer South Africa: recommendations for police reform"
The timeous report launched by our Institute for Security Studies (ISS) partner team at the hybrid seminar shares research and clear recommendations for priority measures that “can help the SAPS to fulfil its constitutional mandate”.
It was introduced at the event in the full ISS seminar room by Gareth Newham, Head, Justice and Violence Prevention.
Janine Rauch, Governance Expert and ISS Consultant, facilitated the panel discussion with informative speaker inputs by Lt-General (Ret) Sharon Jephta, book author of "Serving with Integrity, Commitment and Excellence", TJ Masilela, Deputy Chairperson, National Community Policing Forum (CPF) Board and Chairperson, Gauteng CPF Bord, and a representative of the SAPS Portfolio at the Auditor-General of South Africa.
The insightful report with detailed recommendations for police reform is based on the longstanding, valuable expertise of the renowned ISS Team.
