| Department of Defence | SUBPROGRAMME: MILITARY POLICE DIVISION Overview SAPS because of the lack of a holding cell capacity at a number of the MP structures. Another 69 were detained at the two military correctional facilities of the MP Division. | Programme 7: General Support | Most of the objectives of the Military Police Division (MP Div) were successfully achieved. Members of the MP Div were, throughout the reporting period, involved in external deployments and a total of 256 members were deployed in the DRC and Burundi. The MP Div increased its member contribution to deployments from the 56 to the current 128 members deployed. MP ofcials also assisted the Waterkloof Strategic Movement Unit in searching all personnel and equipment moving to and from the mission areas. MP ofcials were also made available for ights to and from the mission areas to execute static aircraft control as part of a crime-prevention initiative. Three members were deployed in the DRC to provide Military Police and Regimental Police training to the members of the DRC Armed Forces as part of Post-Conict Reconstruction and Training. About 5 244 cases were carried over from FY 2007/08, and 2 594 new cases were reported during FY 2008/09, which led to 7 838 cases on hand, of which 1 722 were nalised, resulting in the current situation of 6 116 cases on-hand. A further initiative to improve efciency is the establishment of the quarterly Liaison Forum to address all concerns related to investigations. The Provost Marshall General continued the bilateral talks with Service/ Division Chiefs to discuss challenges in respect of crime within their areas of responsibility, and provided advice to the Service/Division Chiefs during these meetings. The MP Div increased its deliberate crimeprevention operations from 668 during the previous reporting period to 927 deliberate crime-prevention operations conducted for FY 2008/09. It consisted of roadblocks, check points, as well as searches targeting identied hot spots. These operations were conducted jointly with the SAPS and trafc departments throughout the country. The MP Div had also gone through a process of prevention and awareness training with clients in respect of asset protection, asset safeguarding and crime prevention. The monetary value of assets that were reported stolen or lost to the MP Division during the year was R15.1 million, an increase of R9.3 million from the previous year. A total of 380 DOD members and 245 illegal immigrants were arrested and 166 members were detained in the holding cells of the MP ofces, while 281 members were detained at the A delegation of three members of the MP Div made a reciprocal visit to the Federal Republic of Germany after the Provost Marshal of the German Armed Forces visited the RSA in 2007. The aim of the visit was not only to strengthen relations, but also to gain understanding and to compare training. Two MP Div members also visited the Qatar Republic and attended the Military and Policing Exhibition 2008 in Doha, thereby exposing the MP Div to the latest policing technological equipment that could be of benet to the MP Div. Internally the MP Div provided support to the Presidential Fleet Review in Simon’s Town, the Africa Aerospace and Defence Exhibition 2008 (AAD) at Air Force Base (AFB) Ysterplaat and participated in the Opening of Parliament. Training is considered important and it is therefore noteworthy, that the MP School received accreditation to act as a registered training service-provider in the use of handguns and the legislation surrounding rearms. The specialist investigation capability of the Company remained a concern, but was addressed through multi-skilling members by sending them on investigation courses and detached duty to the MP Area Ofces to obtain practical experience in specialist investigation. Another serious challenge experienced and that impacted negatively on the achievement of targets was the availability of operational vehicles as specied in the Establishment Tables. The problem was overcome by obtaining six Landrovers, 54 functional vehicles and four Quantums. Although there are a number of structures within the MP Div that have facilities of a very high standard, there are many others that do not comply with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards, and that need urgent attention. This remains a serious concern, as these facilities are maintained by utilising the funds available for the day-to-day operations. Although the MP Div has 21 active Reserve members, it is not sufcient to address fully the requirement of the Reserve capability in the short term. Management intervention included an increase in MSDS numbers, but it is foreseen that 1 Provost Regiment will only be 33% staffed in the medium term. Annual Report FY 2008 - 2009 136
| Department of Defence | The MP Div performed well during the past nancial year and although signicant progress was made with the DOD Safeguarding Board, Anti-Criminality and the Anti-Criminality Support Plans, the MP Division will continue to nalise outstanding matters in the next nancial year, in order to improve effective service delivery to its clients and stakeholders. A special effort will be made to reduce the still unacceptably high number of outstanding cases by refocusing its available resources. Purpose of the Programme The General Support Programme provides general support capabilities and services to the Department (the Military Police Division is a Subprogramme of the General Support Programme). Measurable Objectives The Military Police Division Subprogramme contributes to the General Support Programme by providing a military policing capability of one provost company for deployment, as well as 22 area ofces and 21 detachments for investigations and crime prevention to reduce the number of new cases under investigation by ve percent per year.
