Parly looks at industry

Parliament’s portfolio committee for police is holding a public hearing today on the current spate of cash-intransit heists.

The seven areas of priority that the committee will focus on are:

The intelligence and operational readiness of the SA Police Service;

The current cooperation between the Saps and the private security industry;

Vetting procedures in the police and private security industry;

State of training, vehicles and protective gear of security officers;

Regularity environment and the role of PSIRA (Private Security Industry Regulation Authority);

Cooperation between the banking sector and law enforcement agencies; and

Technological innovations to curb the incentives to engage in cash-in transit heists.
