Combating crime and corruption has become a top priority in the country and features strongly in the strategic developmental priorities identified by government.

The following are some of the objectives that must be met in order to address crime and corruption:

• Overhaul the criminal justice system to ensure a reduction in crime levels
• Establish a new, modernised, efficient and transformed criminal justice system
• Improve conditions of specialist careers like SAPS investigations, forensic laboratories and criminal record centres
• Enhance the capacity to prevent, combat and investigate national priority crime in order to fight fraud and corruption.

In order to fulfil the vision of building a state that is democratic, people-driven and people-centric, it is imperative for you to ensure the safety and security of all South African citizens as well as strike a balance between the pressure to raise performance levels and reduce costs.

In order for the above objectives to be met, a partnership between private and public sectors is essential.
As a long-term partner to many government departments and a provider of information and communication technology (ICT), Gijima understands that technology can help fast-track the achievement of these objectives.

We understand your priorities and can help in a number of key areas such as:

THE ACHIEVEMENT OF REDUCED CRIME LEVELS AND A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH AFRICA through transformation and improved criminal justice systems and judicial accountability.

• Imagine: The ability to have accurate intelligence, enabling you to proactively take preventative action to combat crime, appropriately allocate resources to meet the requirements of each department/organ/agency in each province in the cluster, as well as develop and execute effective operational plans based on real-time information and benchmarking reports
• Imagine: The ability to track and monitor criminals from the date of detention, conviction, to probation and/or release, minimising the risk of criminals escaping or loss of criminal records
• Imagine:  The ability to access and retrieve criminals’ records anywhere, anytime, create profiles of criminals or potential criminals, develop predictive analysis of crime based on historic data from different sources of information, as well as exchange “intelligence” securely with international agencies, enabling you to proactively take preventative action where repeat offences, crime or threats are anticipated
• Imagine: The ability to retain dockets and evidence securely with audit trail reporting and ensure that they are accessed by authorised personnel only, minimising the risk of loss or internal corruption.

Then, imagine implementing an integrated criminal/justice/security management system that will help you achieve this!
