Abstract:
The public should be made aware of the main objectives of the SAPS Strategic Plan
2020–2025 as well as its implications for South African security and safety. Examine
developments and raise pertinent questions about the direction these projects are taking,
highlighting both the successes and setbacks. Encourage public dialogue about the usefulness of
the SAPS approach and possible areas for improvement. Encourage participation and
engagement. One of the aims is to choose multiple large-scale projects covering a variety of
topics, including GBV campaigns, technology, community engagement, and safety from crime.
Examine each project's aims, objectives, and plans for implementation. Compile information
about accomplishments, such as survey results, crime figures, and expert opinions. Determine
the obstacles that every endeavor must overcome, including a lack of funding, a lack of
community support, and internal opposition. Include interviews with community people, law
enforcement, academics, and pertinent non-governmental organizations to portray a variety of
viewpoints. The noteworthy initiatives that have been finished under the SAPS Strategic Plan
2020–2025 will be the main subjects of the investigation. For every project, which particular
goals and objectives have been selected? How much have these projects helped them achieve
their objectives? What are the primary obstacles keeping these initiatives from progressing?
What views do stakeholders, professionals, and people of the community have regarding the
efficacy of these programs? What suggestions are available to enhance the effectiveness and
results of these projects?
Keywords:
