Policing Diaologue addresses policy issues within the system

The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) says there must be a memorandum of understanding with the police to avoid incidents of violence and torture within the policing culture.A dialogue on human rights and policing is taking place in Johannesburg today to contribute towards building a South African consensus on the issue. The dialogue‚ hosted by the SAHRC and the African Policing Civilian Oversight Forum (APCOF)‚ will see various stakeholders discuss policing issues from making contributions to police policy developments to analysing human rights in policing in South Africa. The commission says a new policy framework for policing is currently before Parliament and seeks to address the deficits in the current legal framework but there are issues that are still under-developed.
