Employment Regulations, 2008, the SAPS is required to develop a fixed
establishment while remaining within the current (annual) budget and medium-
term expenditure framework. In view of the aforementioned the terminology
Resource Allocation Guide (RAG) was replaced by Fixed Establishment.
The Fixed Establishment of the South African Police Service has been
reviewed and is currently in process of being finalised for the 2014/2015
financial year. The intended date for final approval by the National
Commissioner is 31 July 2014.
Once approved the Fixed Establishment for 2014/2015 will be circulated
