Technology Management Services (TMS) CJS/IJS Review 10 June 2015
INTRODUCTION The National Development Plan (NDP) places significant focus on the implementation of the recommendations of the Review of the South African Criminal Justice System (CJS) through the CJS Seven point plan, which was approved in 2007. This process was started in 2005 because departments were working is ‘silos’ with little interaction. It was difficult to track individuals and information through the system. Implementation of projects under the Technology Management Services (TMS) of the SAPS has been a significant concern for the last couple of years. Large amounts of resources have been allocated to the CJS and IJS. For the 2014/15 financial year, R1.14 bn was allocated and spent on the CJS/IJS projects. Some projects were started in 2003/04 and to date R6.673 billion have been spent on technology projects associated with the CJS/IJS review (bulk on CRC and FSL).
Quarterly progress report regarding implementation and expenditure. 13 MAY 2015 MEETING Quarterly progress report regarding implementation and expenditure. Included the CJS, SAPS IJS and SAPS Transversal IJS projects Became evident that SAPS experiences several challenges on transversal responsibilities and dependencies on other stakeholder departments, notably SITA, DPW and DHA. The meeting was adjourned with the undertaking that the Committee would revisit with all stakeholders present. SAPS has 73 technology projects associated with the CJS/IJS Review, of which 15 projects are listed as having dependencies on other Departments (20% of total number of projects). Listed projects with dependencies: Department of Home Affairs (DHA) HANIS Integration Department of Public Works (DPW) Automatic DNA Equipment
