## Resource

South Africa is launching a bold police reform drive targeting 140 high-crime stations, aiming to rebuild public trust through smarter policing, better intelligence, and strict accountability. With national leaders on board, the plan includes upgraded resources, revived detective units, and a new strategy to crack down on cross-border crime syndicates. Community partnerships and trained patrollers will boost visibility without replacing officers. Institutional changes—like tougher vetting, lifestyle audits, and tech upgrades—are underway, alongside filling vacancies and recruiting new officers. The acting police minister made it clear: results matter, and South Africans deserve a safer, more trustworthy police force.
