The Division: Inspectorate functioned as Management Intervention.
Management Intervention inculcated a culture of uncompromising compliance and performance management and implemented a multi- year programme at 270 high crime-weight police stations that gave impetus to the stabilisation of internal functioning, which lays the foundation for improved service delivery, capacity development and impact on crime
Financial Year
Diagnostic assessments were conducted; basic non-compliance rectified and root cause resolved that compromised service delivery and impact on crime. For this purpose, an intervention execution plan was developed and implemented at each of the 270 police stations, in consultation with the station commanders and members.
The output of the programme was evaluated at the 270 police stations, using a compliance assessment tool, containing 361 indicators. The average result of the evaluation indicated a compliance rating above 80% threshold, in each of the following functional areas:- System utilization and date integrity- Administration and support- Community satisfaction- Service delivery complaints against the police- Visible policing- Crime and Management information- Concept of operations, command and control- Detective service
The result standards for mitigation action, which were issued during previous inspections, were provided to the 270 police stations, for self-diagnoses and self-correction, in achieving the desired outputs and outcomes.The list of the 270high crime – weight police stations, is attached as Annexure C
