Back-to-Basics Approach Summarised

The Acting National Commissioner & Senior Management of the SAPS identified the

need for the introduction of a “Back to Basics” approach to policing. This approach

focuses on every member of SAPS reverting to the established regulatory framework, or

simply put, “doing right things right, every time”.

Demilitarisation of the SAPS (1)

The National Development Plan: “Demilitarise the police. The police should be selected &

trained to be professional & impartial, responsive to community needs, competent & inspire

confidence.”

The SAPS has undertaken various initiatives to respond to the call for demilitarisation,

including:

- In 2014, the 1st SAPS Research Colloquium was conducted attended by SAPS members,

academics & subject-matter experts to address the themes: “Demilitarisation & Policing in a

Violent Society”.

- Emanating from the Colloquium it was evident that there is not a singular, clear understanding

of the concept of demilitarisation.

The public perspective considers demilitarisation as the removing of ranks & changing uniform

only.

The academic perspective includes issues such as cultural, attitudinal, material & organisational

change.

The SAPS subsequently initiated an additional research project relating to demilitarisation of the

SAPS, with the intent to clarify the concept.

Page 24: Briefing to the Portfolio Committee ... - Amazon Web Servicespmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/170905SAPS.pdf · Back-to-Basics Approach Summarised The Acting National

24

Demilitarisation of the SAPS (2)

Consultation on demilitarization was widened through two additional

seminars during 2016/2017, involving academics, business professionals,

tertiary institutions, human rights organisations & a wide range of SAPS

members

The following key issues emerged:

- Failure to adhere to the norms of a democratic approach to policing leaves a

gap for criminal elements to infiltrate the SAPS, which undermines

community relations & the morale of members;

- There is a perception that there is an increasingly violent approach to

policing, particularly in dealing with crime & alleged criminals; &

- The remilitarization of the SAPS between 2000 – 2010 & the impact it had on

professionalism & conduct.

Page 25: Briefing to the Portfolio Committee ... - Amazon Web Servicespmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/170905SAPS.pdf · Back-to-Basics Approach Summarised The Acting National

25

Demilitarisation of the SAPS (3)

The following key issues emerged (continued):

- SAPS has a responsibility to the community it serves to improve professional

conduct by:

Building a culture of police integrity;

Enhancing accountability at all levels; &

Promoting community engagement.

The following outcomes were noted by the SAPS:

- Police visibility must be enhanced to foster improved community relations;

- The professionalising of the SAPS must be prioritised;

- Command & control & the adherence to policy & legislation must be

enhanced to improve the conduct of members, thereby establishing a

relationship of trust between SAPS & the community.

Page 26: Briefing to the Portfolio Committee ... - Amazon Web Servicespmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/170905SAPS.pdf · Back-to-Basics Approach Summarised The Acting National

26

Demilitarisation of the SAPS (4)

Members of the National Planning Commission that was involved in the compilation of

the National Development Plan 2011 were interviewed by the Civilian Secretariat in

order to clarify the recommendations on demilitarisation of the SAPS.

Consideration for demilitarisation include:

‐ Revision of recruitment criteria;

‐ Revision of the nature of training;

‐ Revision and strengthening the community policing approach with a strong emphasis on

Human Rights; and

‐ Revision of the rank system to civilianise the SAPS.

The following outcomes were noted by the Secretariat:

- The research report on “Management perspective of Demilitarisation of SAPS” makes it clear

that demilitarisation is a concept that involves much more than just a change in ranks; and

- The Planning Commission, who cannot clearly define the concept, makes implementation

difficult for the SAPS Management.

Recruitment & Selection – Community-Based

Recruitment Strategy (1)

SAPS has implemented a Community Based Strategy for the recruitment,

selection & enlistment of new police officers.

Communities are engaged (through Izimbizos/meetings) in the advertisement of

posts in their local communities & briefed about the SAPS in general,

requirements to become a police officer & all the steps in the recruitment

process.

Successful applicants are formally presented to their local communities to report

anything detrimental that is known about an applicant that can negatively impact

on that applicant being enrolled as a police officer.

Recruitment & Selection – Community-Based

Recruitment Strategy (2)

Provincial Police & Community Recruitment Boards are held, including

representatives from community structures to make final recommendations to

the National Commissioner for approval.

Police Trainees who have successfully completed the prescribed basic police

training sign the Code of Conduct & take the prescribed Oath of Office at the

colleges before being deployed to stations for duty.

The purpose of the BTLP is to enable newly appointed police officials to:

- Use a series of legal & policing skills to protect & serve members of

communities in accordance with the Constitution of South Africa.

- Provide a more effective service that will improve community satisfaction &

position members to fulfil their mission of creating a safe & secure

environment for all who live in South Africa.

Discipline & Consequence Management (1)

Discipline & Consequence Management is regulated by the SAPS Discipline

Regulations, 2016, promulgated on 1 November 2016.

Background:

- The 2006 Discipline Regulations/Code (previous Code) was implemented through a

collective agreement in the SSSBC as well as the promulgation of the 2006 Regulations.

- In 2012, a new Disciplinary Code was agreed upon at SSSBC (SSSBC Agreement 1/2012).

Code was not promulgated due to internal discussions between SAPS, Secretariat &

Ministry.

- The SAPS 2016 Discipline Regulations were promulgated on 1 November 2016.

Pending matters to be finalized in terms of 2006 Regulations.

New matters to be dealt with in terms of 2016 Regulations (even if act of misconduct

was committed prior to 1 November 2016).

40

Key Differences between 2006 & 2016 Regulations:

- New acts of misconduct are introduced, e.g. regulation 3(jj) – member fails to report an act of

misconduct committed in his/her presence.

- Places an onus on employee to report misconduct committed by fellow employees /

supervisor.

Introduction of the “Expeditious Process” (Regulation 9):

- Novel approach in public service.

- In line with Labour Relations Act Code of Good Practice: Dismissal & with labour law

jurisprudence:

Informal procedure.

“Meeting” rather than “hearing” (no chairperson or labour representative, only designated

person, Brigadier or higher).

Forms of misconduct that warrant expeditious process are serious misconduct: bribery,

corruption, fraud, theft, rape, sexual harassment; any act of misconduct which detrimentally affects

the image of the SAPS or brings the SAPS into disrepute, or which involves an element of

dishonesty

Suspension:

– Suspension without remuneration no longer an option (all suspensions with remuneration).

– Period of suspension defined: 60 days (line manager) which can be extended for another 30

days (by the chairperson whilst hearing is proceeding).

– After 90 days suspension automatically uplifted, even if hearing not finalized (Employee returns

to work, no discretion from employer to extend).

– Role-players must ensure hearing is finalized within 90 days if employee under suspension.

Types of sanctions:

– Counselling;

– Written warning & Final written warning;

– Suspension without salary between one month & two months (consent of employee no longer

required); &

– Dismissal.

– NB: no suspended sanction (i.e. suspended dismissal).

(l) read together with section 11 of the SAPS Act, 1995 (Act No. 68 of

1995).

– The Compliance Boards aims to promote accountability as well as

effective and efficient performance at all levels and compliance with

the relevant regulatory framework within the Service.

– The Compliance Boards will ensure that the findings,

recommendations, & action plans of all monitoring and evaluations

conducted are effectively & efficiently responded to, addressed and

implemented, & ensure compliance in terms of the provisions of the

relevant regulatory framework.
