Cabinet has expressed alarm at the rising number of police members who die at the hands of criminals.
Government spokesperson Jimmy Manyi briefed the media following the regular Cabinet meeting, saying ministers had called on South Africans to partner with the police to help protect the law enforcers.
Cabinet also warned that those who attack police members will be dealt with harshly.
More than 30 police members have already been killed this year.
Meanwhile, Western Cape police have issued a warning to the public of a fake letter requesting donations for the relatives of two Kraaifontein officers who were recently gunned down.
Gurswin Matthee and Cannon Cloete were shot dead in Wallacedene on Sunday.
Police spokesperson André Traut says the fraudsters carry a letter with a South African Police Service logo and a fake signature.
