Single public service versus single police service : a case for South African police service

Abstract

Uppermost on government’s agenda for the ongoing social and economic upliftment and transformation of our society is improvement in the delivery of basic and other services to the people of South Africa. Currently service delivery is hampered by weaknesses in numerous areas, including amongst others, national frameworks and policies that do not extend to local government in the areas of service delivery and public administration and management and marked differences in remuneration, conditions of service and local government which make mobility and transfer of functions difficult.
