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”.

23
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1d743f7227a40bc34c08aa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
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.

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.

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.

- 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).
![Page 40: 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](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1d743f7227a40bc34c08aa/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
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

41
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).

42
Compliance Boards:
– SAPS established Compliance Boards in terms of section 34(1)(b) and
(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.
