Protection and Security Services

Introduction

The Government of South Africa is responsible for the provision of Safety and Security of all citizens and of visitors to the Republic of South Africa. In order to achieve this , and to contribute to a safe and secure environment, Government transfers specific functions and powers to services such as the South African Police Service [SAPS].

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa ,1996 [Act No 8 of 1996], the South African Police Service Act [Act 68 of 1995], numerous other Acts, National Orders and relevant Cabinet Memorandums ensure that these powers, functions, and duties are executed by the SAPS in an efficient manner.

In the Division: Protection and Security Services effort to provide policing and security to the population of the Republic of South Africa, we strive to develop a comprehensive set of policing and security strategies at our ports, strategic installations, public transport systems and around individuals whose personal protection is in the public’s interest.
