ICMS (Integrated Crime Management Strategy)
The Integrated Crime Management Strategy is an approach that uses pro-active as well as traditional methods to detect and investigate crime.
These include:
- The establishment in each district of a Crime Management Unit to analyse trends, determine 'hot spots' and profile offence patterns as well as offenders;
- The formation of Crime Response Units comprising both uniform and CIB personnel to act as initial investigative 'one stop shops'. Officers in these teams receive basic forensic training in photography and forensic evidence gathering. They also offer security audits and advice to victims of crime;
- Improved reporting and case management to ensure that more offences, in particular volume property crime, are cleared within three months of the occurrence of the incident;
- Utilisation of technical and forensic specialists to target particular offences and suspected criminals; and
- Analysis and follow up of information on offences and offenders received by Crime Stoppers.
