The advent of democracy in South Africa in 1994 demanded a
fundamental reassessment and transformation of the nature and style
of policing. The Constituion of the Republic of South Africa
prescribes the establishment of national poice service, which is
required to be representative, legitimate, impartial, transparent
and accountable. In terms of the Constitution, the police service
must uphold and protect the fundamental rights of all people, and
execute its mission in consultation and co-operation with community
and government, and in accordance with their needs. Smart policing
was written within this context, and serves as a guideline for
law-enforcement officials in South Africa on how to provide the
services that they are expected to deliver. It inculdes chapters
on: Policies guiding the police and policing; legal aspects of
policing; the National Prosecuting Authority and the investigator's
role in the prosecution process; police-community relations; crime
prevention and partnership policing; effective communication skills
for interviweing; conflict transformation as an operational
imperative; police administration at a police station; crime
intelligence in proactive policing; policing intimate violence;
victim empowerrment; performance measurement for policing;
