Introduction to Law Enforcement

The aim of Law Enforcement in a municipality is to create an environment that will further the social and economic development of the community. Given that context the quality of life within a municipality depends to a large extent on the possibility that individuals and their families will be safe.  They will also feel safe while using public open spaces and equipment and that conflicts within communities can be resolved peacefully.  On a provincial level law is enforced by the South African Police Services.  They have an extremely heavy workload and therefore certain laws (By-laws) and laws applicable only to a particular municipality are enforced by the Law Enforcement Officers appointed within its area of jurisdiction.
