The agreement, which was signed on Friday August 30, should be recognised as an important building block towards the realisation of the single police service. This move will also uphold the Constitutional provision that there be a single police service.
Police minister and Western Cape co-operation agreement a building block towards a single police serviceThere has been a debate and discussion within the body politics of the national liberation movement about the establishment of a single police service, which would be headed by a National Police Commissioner.
As scholars in the field of criminology also agrees, the present alarming rate of crime in South Africa in general – and no less so in Cape Town – requires well-co-ordinated, integrated and uniform strategies and tactics. The agreement’s purpose is to record the co-operation required of the national, provincial and local spheres of government in pursuit of a shared vision for safety and security within the City of Cape Town and ultimately beyond. Encompassing various initiatives, programmes, and strategies aimed at promoting a safe, secure, and conducive environment, it provides for:
The development of an aligned approach to support and enhance economic performance within the province. The recent murder of Mrs Nompumelelo Makeleni, an elderly woman in Kraaifontein, starkly illustrates the brazenness of these criminal networks and highlights the necessity for immediate and decisive governmental action. The recently published Victims of Crime Survey brought to the spotlight the persistent and alarming threats to women’s safety.
We hope that these collaborative efforts will not only focus on immediate security measures but will also tackle longstanding causative factors of crime affecting working class communities.
