115

Subprogramme: Ports of Entry Security

➤ Fifty-three land ports, eight sea ports, one dry port and 10 international airports are operational.

➤ The Border Control Operational Coordinating Committee (BCOCC) is a subcommittee of the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster and was mandated in 2005 to strategically manage the South African Ports of Entry environment in a coordinated manner. The lead government agency and chair of the BCOCC, is the South African Revenue Services (SARS). Other departments involved in the BCOCC, are the Department of Home Affairs, the National Intelligence Agency, the Department of Transport, the Cross-Border Road Transport Agency, the Department of Public Works, the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Department of Health, the South African National Defense Force and the South African Police Service.

The BCOCC’s mandate as a coordinating structure extends to all sea, land and airports of entry and exit. During peak seasons, e.g. the Easter period, the festive season and major events, the SAPS participated in intensified crime prevention measures to monitor trends in the movement of goods and people, employ contingency plans and ensure the swift processing of travelers at various ports of entry.

➤ From 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011, 4 008 planned crime prevention and combating actions were conducted at ports of entry to enhance the national security and territorial integrity. These operations and day-to-day activities contributed to the successes achieved at ports of entry, and are indicated in table 31 below.

Subprogramme: Railway Police

➤ The railway police function was reintroduced in the SAPS in 2004. As part of the pilot project and roll-out plan, 24 railway police stations and six provincial command structures had to be built in the Metrorail environment during the period of 2004 to 2010. During this phased out period, 27 completed facilities were handed over to the SAPS for occupation. In 2010, an additional two facilities were handed over to the SAPS for occupation. There is currently one outstanding facility for the Metrorail environment, namely Stretford. To date, a total of 29 of the 30 facilities have been completed in the Metrorail environment.

➤ As part of the roll-out plan, five National Mobile Train Unit bases had to be built. Up to the end of March 2011, only one base has been occupied by the National Mobile Train Unit (NMTU) in Tshwane. Due to a lack of funding from the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA), the outstanding bases have not yet been completed and it is expected to receive attention during 2011/12. In the interim, members are performing their functions from various other facilities.

➤ A total of seven mobile train coaches had to be manufactured. These are mobile police stations that can be hooked onto a train coach in order to render a service to the community. The prototype coach was handed over to the SAPS in 2009, and a further four coaches were completed in 2010. These completed coaches are not yet operational due to power supply challenges, as a result of deviations in terms of the specifications set out for the prototype coach. The outstanding two coaches are expected to be completed and handed over in 2011/12.

➤ A total of 2 644 members have been deployed for Metrorail and 663 for Mainline Services (National Mobile Train Unit). Railway Police Metrorail members are deployed to prevent and combat crime within the Metrorail environment, i.e. on local trains and railway stations, while the National Mobile Train Unit is deployed on long-distance trains.

➤ Reported contact crime cases in the railway environment indicate a decrease of 37.7% compared to the previous financial year. The highest decrease was recorded in the sexual offences category,



117

indicating a decrease of 65.3% from 202 cases in 2009/10 to 70 cases in 2010/11.
