Background

IJS Initiatives CPP

Criminal Justice Review

Organised Crime Syndicates – what can we learn from them?

Challenges

Adequate Resources Appropriate training Sustainability of training &

empowerment initiatives Clarity on processes Accountability

Challenges continued

Availability of Appropriate Systems

Reliance on manual processes

No Optimisation of Technological Advances

Performance Criteria

Recommendations Specialised fields of resources LRCR linked to DHA HANIS system Online Fingerprint Verification

System for detective unit Reaction Teams/Intelligence

Collection units for each crime desk Multi-disciplinary investigation teams

Recommendations continued

Surveillance Teams must not be restricted to Crime Intelligence only

Laboratories to accommodate detectives Financial audit capacity First responder teams for violent and

commercial crime incidents Training on the use of the equipment to uplift

fingerprints

Recommendations continued Basic Training to include specific crime

types eg. bank crimes

Drug/Blood testing kits should be made available for crime scene use

Analysts should be seconded to detectives to promote intelligence driven and proactive investigations

Recommendations continued Use of cell phone triangulation devices on a wider

scale as a tracing tool should be implemented. Each unit should have its own XRY cell phone downloading kit.

At least two first responders to address electronic crimes.

Enhance the partnership and offerings of the private sector via structured nodal points

Make use of external databases to source investigation related information

Recommendations continued

A website or portal for sharing of information amongst all investigators across the Police Service

A website for the public to access to provide information, similar to the FBI website

Crime scene management –utilise investigators from the respective corporate environments

Recommendations continued

Deal with bail investigation separate from the main investigation

Capacity must be built for CCTV footage analysis and facial recognition comparisons. Currently, the police struggle to open copies of CCTV footage provided to them as evidence

Electronic Management of Cases

Electronic Case Management Senior Management can conduct electronic

inspections. Enhance linkages to cases and suspects Fingerprints can be added to a electronic

docket and can test against DHA and LCRC

Increase turnaround times Effective paper trails

Electronic Case Management Suspects easily flagged, alerting

investigators to linkages Alerts generated making use of specific

fields Electronic filing of dockets - no information

goes missing. Electronic serving of Sec 205 notices and

electronic responses

Electronic Case Management

Provision of essential tools eg. Laptops/iPads, smart phones, 3G etc.

Utilisation of Social Media eg. Facebook, Twitter etc.

International Best Practice

International Detective Exchange Programmes

Australian Approach –ATM Attacks

UK Payments – Bank related crimes

Conclusion

Much needs to be done Much can be done Much will be done – dependent on political

will and commitment by all. Banking and CIT Industries commit to

supporting the SAPS Thank you
