- W2515066576 abstract "7 his paper explores the slow pace of change within police organizations. It examines some possible reasons for this slowness, and suggests that new polities and legislation do not automatically bring about desired transformation within the police. The paper argues that effective police transformation may require a more radical challenge of established police culture. Such a challenge, it is argued, may be generated by 'dissident'police groupings which defy existing police practice and frameworks. The paper explores two such groupings that emerged within the South African Police Service in the eighties and nineties. One of these organizations takes theform of a trade union, and organizes rank andfile members. The other takes theform of a black management network, and is concerned with organizing black police in a management function. The paper explores the reasons for their genesis, the challenges they have posed, and makes some comments on the impact they have had on the police management and dominant police culture. The paper concludes by comparing these two South African dissident police groupings with similar groupings in the United States and Britain. This paper examines an under researched area of policing—that of internal police resistance and of 'dissident' police groupings. In South Africa in the past ten years, one could identify two dissident groupings, consisting of black police officers who have protested the internal racist practices of the South African Police Service (SAPS),' as well as (though to a lesser extent), the racist and discriminatory policing of black communities. These groups have also challenged the slow pace of transformation in the police service. While these groupings were met with much resistance from police management in their formative stages, they have come to be seen as significant for a number of reasons. First, the initial grouping, the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (POPCRU) is at present one of the largest police unions in South Africa, and is central to any transfor mation process initiated in the SAPS. Secondly, these groupings have been able to harness the support of local black communities. Thirdly, the groupings have been able to mobilize both rank and file and management echelons within the SAPS. They have also made apparent concerns that face black police officers internationally, particularly in countries where they are in a minority. This paper explores the slowness of change in police organizations generally, but particularly in the South African case where police transformation has been high on the political agenda. It then examines the two unique groupings that actively challenged this transformation process. It explores their emergence during state transition; their" @default.
