Police-Community Relationship Pastoral Tools for Family Ministry

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 4

Abstract

There Is A Weak Relationship Between The Police And The Community In South Africa. This Relationship Is Contrary To What The World Expects From Police Ministry – That Is Dedication And Firmness In Fulfilling Objective Of The Police. Nationally, The Police Are Tasked - ‘To Prevent, Combat And Investigate Crime, To Maintain Public Order, To Protect And Secure The Inhabitants Of The Republic And Their Property, And To Up Hold And Enforce The Law’. This Is In Collaboration With The Community They Serve. Today That Collaboration Is Sadly Lacking. Community Members Are Taking The Law Into Their Own Hands, As If The Police Don’t Exist. Mob Justice Is Common And Residents Are Left Stranded; The Majority Of Them No Longer Trust In The Police Force. The Police Take Too Long To Come To A Crime Scene, Or Don’t Show Up At All. Community Members Are Left With No Choice Than To Deal With Criminals Themselves. The Police Should Be Duty Bound To Quickly Respond To The Scene Of A Crime. The Situation Calls For The Pastoral Care Of The Police. This Article Aims To Investigate And Describe Possible Ways That Can Re-Enforce Police Pastoral Care. It Is Critical Reflection On The Police-Community Relationship Within Southern Africa As A Whole.
