1. INTRODUCTION
The Police Service Act, 1995 (Act No 68 of 1995) requires the National
Commissioner to develop a one-year plan, setting out the priorities and
objectives of policing for the forthcoming financial year. The Annual
Performance Plan for the South African Police Service for 2008 / 2009 has
been developed in accordance with the Police Service Act, 1995 (Act No 68 of
1995) and is an extension of the South African Police Service (SAPS) Strategic
Plan 2005 to 2010. The Strategic Plan 2005 to 2010 provides the strategic
direction of the SAPS for a five-year period while the Annual Performance Plan,
extrapolated from the Strategic Plan 2005 to 2010, indicates the priorities and
objectives that the SAPS will focus on during a particular financial year. The
Annual Performance Plan for the SAPS for 2008 / 2009 therefore extends the
policing priorities and objectives within the strategic direction provided by the
Strategic Plan 2005 to 2010. This is also in line with the Treasury Regulations
2005, as subparagraph 5.2.2(d) stipulates that the Strategic Plan must include,
inter alia, measurable objectives, expected outcomes, programme outputs,
indicators and targets in respect of the Department’s programmes.
