government targets in Medium Strategic Framework (MTFS) and enable a more
proactive policing approach.
• This presentation focuses on the Crime Statistics for the 2015/16 financial year.
• The overall analysis depicts notable progress towards the reduction of the 17

QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES
8
In accordance with the memorandum of understanding between Statistics South Africa
(Stats SA) and SAPS, quality of crime statistics will be assessed before annual release.
The current Crime Statistics report has been quality assessed by the Technical Working
Team (TWT) composed Stats SA and SAPS members.
Additional to the six data quality dimensions that were assessed for the previous
2014/2015 report three more quality dimensions were added to the current assessment.
Based on the outcome of the two assessments, TWT recommended to look into
possibilities of subjecting the crime statistics to a full independent SASQAF assessment.

Strategic Approach
PREMISING THE BACK TO BASICS APPROACH
“Personal safety is a human right. It is a necessary condition for human development,
improved quality of life and enhanced productivity. When communities do not feel
safe and live in fear, the country’s economic development and the people’s wellbeing
are affected”.
“In 2030, people living in South Africa feel safe at home, at school and at work, and
they enjoy a community life free of fear. Women walk freely in the streets and children
play safely outside. The police service is well-resourced and professional, staffed by
highly skilled officers who value their work, serve the community, safeguard lives and
property without discrimination, protect the peaceful against violence, and respect the
rights to equality and justice.”
- The National Development Plan, 2030

The Minister of Police, the Acting National Commissioner & senior management of the SAPS
identified the need for the introduction of a “Back to Basics” approach to policing. This
approach focuses on every member of SAPS reverting to the established regulatory framework,
or simply put, doing the basics of policing, properly & consistently.
