DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY AND SECURITY VOTE 25 MANAGEMENT REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2004 1. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE STATE OF FINANCIAL AFFAIRS The Department of Safety and Security aims to prevent, combat and investigate crime, maintain public order, protect and secure the inhabitants of South Africa and their property, and uphold and enforce the law. Over the past few financial years, the Department has been able to increase significantly the resources allocated to priority programmes, including the delivery of public services. In January 2000, the Department of Safety and Security undertook an extensive strategic planning exercise. Strategic priorities were reviewed in terms of crime information and crime pattern analyses, and aligned with Government policy. This resulted in the development and implementation of a strategic focus for the SAPS, which provided the framework for the 2002-2005 Strategic Plan. Strategies and priorities are aligned to the goals of the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster (JCPS) and the Integrated Justice System (IJS) which coordinate interdepartmental crime prevention initiatives. The SAPS, has recently restructured significantly, particularly its protection services, specialized investigation units and community-oriented policing. A significant advantage of the restructuring of specialized units is that detective capacity at Police Stations will be strengthened. With the focus on enhancing policing presence, crime prevention is based on the principles of community policing, namely that a community and its police service are equal partners and share responsibilities. To enhance police visibility, the sector policing concept was introduced in 2002/03. In an effort to further enhance this strategy, Area Crime Combating Units and a National Intervention Unit have been established for deployment in support of local police in flashpoint areas when normal policing is inadequate for major incidents and disasters. In order to allow the department to execute its basic policing functions more effectively and to roll out the sector policing strategy more intensively, thereby increasing police visibility, the department embarked upon an enlistment strategy with effect from the 2002/03 financial year with the aim to increase its personnel, with ± 31% over a period of 5 years. Over the medium term the Department of Safety and Security will give effect to its broad priorities through the activities of the Department's six programmes. The four key strategic priorities will remain the focus for specific attention in respect of drug and firearm trafficking, vehicle theft and hijacking, commercial crime, and corruption among public officials. A further priority is to reduce the incidence of crime committed against women and children, and improve the investigation and prosecution of these crimes. The improvement of service delivery at police stations will also receive preference. The 2003/2004 Safety and Security Vote comprised six programmes: The budget of the Department for the 2003/04 financial year amounted to R21 884 466 000, which was adjusted to R21 967 926 000 in the 2003 Adjustments Estimate process. Actual expenditure outcome as at the end of the 2003/04 financial year amounted to R21 967 924 881,31, leaving a balance of R1 118,69 which will be surrendered to the Revenue fund. The Administration Programme provides for strategic management and administrative support to the SA Police Service. In addition, the administration and smooth running of the Department is supported by the Corporate Services activities, which seek to create a productive and creative working environment that will enhance efficiency. 1 57

Financial position: 31 March 2004 Administration: Adjusted appropriation Actual expenditure Variance as a R'000 R'000 % 6 234 426 6 514 058 (4,49) The budget for Administration accounted for about 28 per cent of the budget of the Department. The main cost drivers in this programme are - • Training; • State contribution to the Polmed Medical Fund; • Information and Systems Management; and • Logistical, Financial and Auxiliary Services. The provision of Capital Works is vested in Logistical Services. The increased expenditure under this programme from 2002/03 to 2003/04 (12,3%), was mainly as a result of the enlistment process the Department embarked upon in order to provide for critical equipment and inventory to be issued to the newly enlisted functional members, the establishment of new capital works, the upgrading and expansion of the vehicle fleet, the modernization of the computer infrastructure and upgrading of the mainframe systems of the Department. These prioritized areas largely received discernable emphasis. Crime Prevention funds provide for services at police stations to institute and preserve safety and security. The programme reflects expenditure on Visible Policing (functional services rendered by police stations) and on Specialized Visible Policing (comprised of the services of the radio control, equestrian, dog and diving units). Spending trends The total adjusted budget allocated to this programme amounted to R9 618 649 000. 2 58
