This paper provides a synopsis of the policy changes that have impacted on the core function of the South African National Evaluation Service (NES) and thus on the provision of an efficient South African Police Service (SAPS). It describes the NES, its structures and reporting lines, as well as the process undertaken to conduct the inspection function and the associated policies. The impact of organizational change on the division is then discussed, and the paper concludes with alternatives for effective functioning.
