Challenges
Adequate Resources Appropriate training Sustainability of training &

Performance Criteria
Recommendations Specialised fields of resources LRCR linked to DHA HANIS system Online Fingerprint Verification
System for detective unit Reaction Teams/Intelligence
Collection units for each crime desk Multi-disciplinary investigation teams
Recommendations continued
Surveillance Teams must not be restricted to Crime Intelligence only
Laboratories to accommodate detectives Financial audit capacity First responder teams for violent and
commercial crime incidents Training on the use of the equipment to uplift
fingerprints
Recommendations continued Basic Training to include specific crime
types eg. bank crimes
Drug/Blood testing kits should be made available for crime scene use
Analysts should be seconded to detectives to promote intelligence driven and proactive investigations
Recommendations continued Use of cell phone triangulation devices on a wider
scale as a tracing tool should be implemented. Each unit should have its own XRY cell phone downloading kit.
At least two first responders to address electronic crimes.
Enhance the partnership and offerings of the private sector via structured nodal points
Make use of external databases to source investigation related information
Recommendations continued
A website or portal for sharing of information amongst all investigators across the Police Service
A website for the public to access to provide information, similar to the FBI website
Crime scene management –utilise investigators from the respective corporate environments
Recommendations continued
Deal with bail investigation separate from the main investigation
Capacity must be built for CCTV footage analysis and facial recognition comparisons. Currently, the police struggle to open copies of CCTV footage provided to them as evidence
Electronic Management of Cases
Electronic Case Management Senior Management can conduct electronic
inspections. Enhance linkages to cases and suspects Fingerprints can be added to a electronic
docket and can test against DHA and LCRC
Increase turnaround times Effective paper trails
Electronic Case Management Suspects easily flagged, alerting
investigators to linkages Alerts generated making use of specific
fields Electronic filing of dockets - no information
goes missing. Electronic serving of Sec 205 notices and
electronic responses
Electronic Case Management
Provision of essential tools eg. Laptops/iPads, smart phones, 3G etc.
Utilisation of Social Media eg. Facebook, Twitter etc.
International Best Practice
International Detective Exchange Programmes
Australian Approach –ATM Attacks
UK Payments – Bank related crimes

will and commitment by all. Banking and CIT Industries commit to
