Question 1
1.1. Explain the two reasons for introducing a community policing style.
Two primary reasons for introducing a community policing style are:
To meet the safety and security needs of the population: Community policing was
introduced as a response to the demand for accountable, effective, and service-oriented
policing in the new democratic order. This shift was necessary to address the diverse needs of
South Africans and provide a service that is accessible, acceptable, and efficient.
To encourage active community participation in crime prevention: Community policing
emphasizes a collaborative effort between the police and the community. This approach fosters
trust and involvement in efforts to combat crime and maintain public safety, reflecting a
significant departure from the earlier centralized and autocratic policing model.

1.2. The six role players involved in the formulation of policies include:
Government officials – They play a primary role in formulating policies, especially within
their respective departments and spheres of influence.
Political office-bearers – These individuals, such as ministers, are tasked with drafting
executive policies and ensuring they align with the goals of the ruling party.
High-ranking public officials – They work alongside political office-bearers to set priorities
and implement policy goals.
Legislators – They create policies within the framework of the Constitution and ensure they
address societal needs.
Interest groups – These external stakeholders influence policy development by lobbying for
certain issues or causes.
The public sector – Public sector organizations, including law enforcement and other
governmental agencies, contribute to shaping and implementing policies.
