Experts say the police is in need of urgent reform.
The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) has launched its Police Reform Recommendations Report. It builds on decades of research, and a closer examination of the SAPS organisational challenges.

Brilliant to see Premier Winde referring to the necessity for data-led and evidence-based approaches to policing in the province. The next two years of this important project look promising for all. #EBP @SAPoliceService @WesternCapeGov @alanwinde @issafrica @CrimeHub
From the joint media release published by the Western Cape Government:
“The initiative, which will run until May 2025, is funded by the provincial government’s long- standing German partner province, the Free State of Bavaria.”
