The transformation of the South African Police Service (SAPS) by the country's first democratically elected government started over a decade ago, in 1994. Over a decade later, very little research has been conducted on the impact this transformation process has had on the men and women that make up the SAPS. One of the primary aims of this report, therefore, is to contribute to our understanding of the perceptions, attitudes and experiences of police officers to issues relating to race and gender in both the organisation and the communities they serve.
