Strategic Overview

•Revised Strategic Plan for 2010- 2014: a) sets the tone and provides a framework for structuring of programmes and activities, the allocation of funds and delivery of improved police services; b) synchronises SAPS’s plans and programmes with the Government’s long and medium-term strategies and c) identifies the following key operational and organizational priorities for 2010-2014 :

Operational Priorities:

•Crime prevention: reducing levels of contact crimes, trio-crimes (house robbery, business robbery and carjacking) and crimes against women and children;

•Visible policing: increasing the visibility of police, especially at station level;

•Public order policing: policing of public order incidents;

•Professionalism: the development of a more disciplined, professional force;

•Combat corruption: the prevention, detection and investigation of corruption within the ranks of the SAPS;

•Partnerships: partnership policing and mobilising the community in fighting crime;

•Infrastructure: improvement of human and infrastructure capacity;

•Enhanced detection services: improving detection and court ready case docket rates on serious crimes, increasing the capacity and professionalism of the Directorate of Priority Crime Investigations and improving forensic services; and

•Specialized units: Improving crime intelligence for serious crime, drug and people smuggling syndicates, and human trafficking. More so, establish specialized units to address crimes against women and children.

6


Organizational Priorities:

In order to ensure success in the above priorities, three further operational support priorities were identified. These are :

•Human Capital Development, through skills development and retention;

•Budget and resource management, such as building new police stations based on set criteria and refurbishing existing ones and;

• Information systems and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enhancement.

National Development Plan

‘by 2030, people living in South Africa should feel safe and have no fear of crime. Women, children and vulnerable groups should feel protected. They should have confidence in the criminal justice system to effectively apprehend and prosecute criminals who violate individual and community safety. The South African Police Service and metro police should be professional institutions

staffed by skilled, disciplined, ethical individuals who value their work and serve the community.’

7


NDP Five Key Recommendations

•Synergized Criminal Justice System: the CJS is to have a single set of objectives, priorities and performance-measurement targets

•Demilitarise the police.

•Select and train police members to be professional and impartial, responsive to community needs, competent and inspire confidence.

•Coordinate activities across a variety of departments, the private sector and community bodies, the latter to include revitalised community-safety centres.

•Ensure all vulnerable groups including women, children and rural communities should enjoy equal protection and their fear of crime should be eradicated through effective, coordinated responses of the police, business, community and civil society.

National Planning Commission (NPC) Measurable Performance Outcomes

“Strategic Outcome 3 - All people in South Africa are and feel safe”

17




•The Committee should ask about the reasons for increasing allocation for advertising. Which programmes/activities are going to be advertised and for how much? And does that include advertisements for vacant positions?

18

Summary of key expenditure trends over the medium term

•Infrastructure Projects: there is a projected increase in expenditure on infrastructure over the medium term. Allocations earmarked for infrastructure are mainly for the construction and upgrading of police stations

• Shooting ranges and Training facilities : the department will prioritise the construction of a shooting range at Faure in Western Cape at an estimated contract price of R181.1 million.

The department also intends to use funds from vacancies to implement grade progression for qualifying officials. Consistent with the department’s human resource strategy, only critical posts earmarked for the department’s core function will be filled over the medium term.

•Improved conditions of service: upgrading of the posts is provided for by additional Cabinet approved allocations of R350 million in 2014/15, R255.3 million in 2015/16 and R785.5 million in 2016/17, as well as a reprioritisation of funds of R348.1 million in 2014/15 and R470.2 million in 2015/16 from transport equipment to compensation of employees.

19




•Is the increase in Building and fixed infrastructure caused by earmarked funds for the construction and upgrading of police stations as indicated in the 2014/15 APP?

•The Committee should also ask how the Department will deal with the recurring issue of non-performance by contractors as indicated in the 2014/15 APP

•There is a serious concern that the Department is not spending its ‘ring fenced’ amounts for the Integrated Justice System Programme.

•The Committee should ask the Department to explain what steps will it take to ensure that its expenditure on this programme is improved during the 2013/14 financial year so that it does not face the same problems as have been identified previously?

Programme Analysis

Programme 1: (Administration)

•Largest allocation within the Administration programme remains in the Corporate Services sub-programme (98.7 per cent of the total allocation to Administration).

•Additional allocation for improved conditions of service and the upgrading of clerical posts.

•Growth in expenditure on compensation of employees is due to the projected increase in the programme’s staff complement, from 36 629 in 2012/13 to 37 044 over the medium term.

•Significant increase of allocation in the Management Sub-programme is attributed to an increase in the staff establishment and additional funding required by the Civilian Secretariat for Police.

•According to the 2014/15 APP, the significant increase in spending in the Civilian Secretariat sub-programme in 2013/14 was due to the shifting of some functions that were previously executed by the SAPS and the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) to the Civilian Secretariat for Police following the enactment of the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service Act (2011).


Comments and questions:•The Department should elaborate on the expansion of employee wellness and health call centres

•The Department should explain why the budget allocated to the sub-programme Civilian Secretariat for 2014/15 increased (R99.8 million) relatively compared to the 2013/14 financial year, even though the secretariat has been designated as a separate department with effect from 1 April 2014.•The Department should provide the current number of boarded vehicles in the Department and also the time-frame in which the boarded vehicles will be replaced.

22




•Is the increase in Building and fixed infrastructure caused by earmarked funds for the construction and upgrading of police stations as indicated in the 2014/15 APP?

•The Committee should also ask how the Department will deal with the recurring issue of non-performance by contractors as indicated in the 2014/15 APP

•There is a serious concern that the Department is not spending its ‘ring fenced’ amounts for the Integrated Justice System Programme.

•The Committee should ask the Department to explain what steps will it take to ensure that its expenditure on this programme is improved during the 2014/15 financial year so that it does not face the same problems as have been identified previously?

Conclusion

•During 2014/15 - focus must be placed on expenditure and delivery within several projects, notably all IS/ICT projects to strengthen the Criminal Justice Systems (CJS) revamp and the Integrated Justice System (IJS).

•Dedicate more resources on infrastructure development, crimes against women and children (FCS), rural safety and training of officers for improved policing and a professional police service•Focus must be placed on Visible Policing. This programme is struggling to achieve set targets and hence also to improve on targets. •Visible Policing is the front-line of policing in South Africa and needs to excel in its mandate if the negative perceptions towards police, which are currently experienced, are to be changed.

•Training and recruitment of police members needs to be re-viewed
