Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / Communication in a multi campus organization has always proven to be difficult (Coiera, 2006: 95). The research problem emanates from bad use or non-existent communication strategies in one of the SAPS Academies. The objective of this research was to examine how the management and staff in the Police Academy can break the communication barriers created by hierarchy and bureaucracy; develop guidelines for the management and staff members on how they can create effective communication channels in the Academy, examine how poor communication impacts negatively on the operations at a police academy, highlight how proper and timely communication can improve operation in the Academy and to identify and make recommendations on the ways the management and staff at the SAPS Academy can improve communication. The research was conducted to, critically evaluating the existing communication strategies applied in the SAPS Basic Training Academy; determine strengths and weaknesses of these strategies; consider the alternative strategies that can be utilised to manage communication in the Academy; identify, highlight, assess and explain the importance of effective communication in a Police Academy and draw attention to how effective communication can be used to improve projects. The methods employed in this research include qualitative and quantitative research, where open ended questions were utilised in obtain information and closed ended questions to fill in the gaps on the information obtained from open ended questions. The study adopted the qualitative and quantitative research method to answer the research question and data interpretation was based on Microsoft Excel. This method was deemed to be the most effective for collection of the kind of data and numerical (quantifiable) data is considered objective. On Section B, a Likert-type questionnaire comprising closed-ended questions was the measurement instrument. Answer choices were graded from 1 to 5, being strongly agree, agree, indifferent, disagree and strongly disagree. Based on the different models that were studied, the researcher then suggested a tentative model that could be used. The population comprised of all the 147 employees of one of the SAPS Academies in the Western Cape, and questionnaires were distributed to all the 84 employees that were on duty on a particular day in this academy. The findings indicated that organisation communicate yields better results than those that do not communicate. The study highlighted the communication problems at the academy and came up with model/ solution to the current situation. The respondents used in the study gave a lot of suggestions that could be used in the academy. The frequency tables utilised will be useful as the reader could see the favourite suggestions or preferences by the people.

Marketing theory has been pervasively studied and applied since the issue of marketing enlargement was proposed by Philip Kotler in 1969. Such theory has been not only applied by profit and non-profit organizations but highlighted by the government. The police as civil servants devote themselves to the society but the result is not satisfying as expected. Can the marketing theory help the police earn a good reputation? This study attempts to construct the police¡¦s marketing concept, to test their understanding of it, and to realize how far it has been carried out. The observations and discussions of the study can be used as a reference for future police administration re-engineering. The data are gathered by a questionnaire with five-point scales. The subjects are the police serving in central or local governments. The results are analyzed with eight variables and four dimensions: first, the present situation of police administration marketing; second, police marketing in practice; third, the essential conditions for advancing police marketing; forth, the barriers of marketing strategies. The conclusions fall into five points: first, the police¡¦s marketing cognition should be improved; second, the marketing theory can be applied in police administration; third, for promoting the performance of police marketing, relevant departments (people) concerning marketing and public relationships are necessary to be set; forth, internal marketing of police administration should be enhanced; fifth, the police should keep good relationship with communities for advancing marketing activities. Based on the discussions above, several suggestions are as follows: first, strengthening the police¡¦s marketing cognition; second, integrating Public Relations Office, Public Radio System, and Police Torch as the special marketing agency to propel police marketing; third, reestablish the police¡¦s duties and missions; forth, making ¡§absorbing and suitably responding citizens¡¦ requirements¡¨ as the basic concept held by the police; fifth, intensifying internal marketing to advance the morale in all police administrations; sixth, applying the marketing theory in accelerating the progress of police system in communities.
