Strategic Plan 2004/2007 | Goals, Targets and Programmes

Home | Strategic Plan 2004-2007 Index

Goals and targets, including programmes for attaining the goals and targets

The following Operational Priorities have been identified in order to address the ongoing activities of organized crime syndicates in the RSA, the proliferation of firearms within the Republic and the impact this has on the incidence of serious and violent crime and the consistent incidence of crimes targeting women and children as victims:

  • Organized Crime
  • Serious and Violent Crime
  • Crimes against Women and Children
  • Improving Basic Service Delivery

The following Organizational Priorities have been identified in order to address the management of all resources in the SAPS:

  • Human Resources Management
  • Budget and Resources Management

Each priority has implications of functions to be performed; and operational plans, performance agreements and PEP documents are the means of ensuring that these functions are performed within the various departmental programmes and objectives. Quarterly reporting, built into the process, facilitates effective performance monitoring, performance evaluation, and provides for corrective action, if necessary. In order to enhance individual performance, an incentive and reward system was introduced in order to motivate personnel for the aim of enhancing service delivery.

The priorities, together with outputs, service delivery indicators and targets are described within the respective financial programmes in the table below as planning information for 2004/2005. It is important to note that sec11 (2)(a) of the South African Police Service Act, 1995 requires from the National Commissioner to develop a plan, setting out the priorities and objectives of policing for the following financial year. The Planning Information for 2004/2005 serves as the Annual Plan of the National Commissioner in this regard.
