The minister was speaking to journalists after delivering his Budget Vote in Parliament, on Monday, 21 July.
He said the review on legislation would also be accompanied by an assessment of the policies that govern how police carry out their duties during service delivery protests.
"In addressing institutional reform, the Civilian Secretariat for Police Act was passed and put into operation by December 2011," the minister said.
The Act established the Secretariat as a separate department with its own budget and lines of reporting.
The Act also requires provincial oversight roles to be aligned with those of the Secretariat as part of strengthening both inter-governmental cooperation and provincial monitoring of SAPS.
The minister said all provinces have begun the process of aligning their structures and process with those of the Secretariat.
In addition, organisational reform processes have started which has seen the structure grow from 38 people to over 114 people between 2011 and 2014.
