The CSVR and the ISS invite you to a joint public seminar
on Wednesday 28 November 2001:

'MUNICIPAL POLICING IN SOUTH AFRICA: DEVELOPMENT AND
CHALLENGES'

Most of South Africa's six metros have decided to establish police
services.
These new police services face several challenges such as their
relationship
with the SAPS, fulfilling their 'crime prevention' role, and ensuring the
broad training needed to carry out all their functions.

The seminar will examine different approaches taken by two cities:
* Johannesburg established its Metro Police Department in March
2001, built mainly on its former traffic departments. Chris Ncgobo, a senior
council executive with no police background, was appointed as Chief.
* Cape Town is establishing its Metro Police Service next month,
with new recruits currently in training. Unlike any other province, the
Western Cape provincial government is providing training and other
resources.

To ensure accessibility for the widest possible audience, the seminar will
be presented at a choice of two times and venues. A new ISS publication,
'Municipal Policing in South Africa: Developments and Challenges',
co-authored by Janine Rauch, Mark Shaw and Antoinette Louw will be
distributed. One of the authors will speak at each seminar. The other
presenters will be:
* Chris Ngcobo, Executive Head (Chief) of the Johannesburg
Metropolitan Police Department
* Mark Sangster, Project Leader for the establishment of the Metro
Police Service for the City of Cape Town

The same seminar will be repeated at venues
in Pretoria and Johannesburg on Wednesday 28 November
