Other

2. SAPS
Ongoing oversight priorities:
Ongoing oversight priorities which are built in annually into the Programme include:
· Oversight over and input into Strategic plans, 2013/14 Annual Performance Plan, 2013/14 Budget allocation, Quarterly expenditure, Quarterly performance, and 2012/13 Annual Report including Audit findings.
· Oversight over 6-monthly SAPS Domestic Violence Act Reports.
Special focus priorities:
Due to the high legislative workload of the Committee for 2013/14, oversight needs to be selective and focused. For this reasons the PC has decided to focus on two broad areas for 2013, aligned to the National Development Plan. These are:
· Building professionalism of the SAPS
· Strengthening the Criminal Justice System (with a focus on implementation of the CJS Revamp)
Additional priority areas for oversight that will be addressed in ongoing oversight meetings (e.g. on budget, annual report etc) may include:
· Corruption in the SAPS
· Use of consultants
· Public Order Policing
· Violence against women and children (as part of oversight over Domestic Violence reports)
· Police brutality
Oversight of service delivery:
· Provinces that are outstanding for oversight for 2013 include Eastern Cape and Free State .
· Oversight of service delivery at National Office.
3. Secretariat of Police
Ongoing oversight priorities:
· Oversight over and input into Strategic Plan, 2013/14 Annual Performance Plan, 2013/14 Budget allocation, Quarterly expenditure, Quarterly performance, and Annual Report including Audit findings.
· Scrutinise Domestic Violence Act Reports
· Receive briefings on the state of policing in terms of the monitoring of police performance by the Secretariat. This includes briefings on the outcome of their station visits.
Specific focus areas:
· Track readiness of Secretariat to receive a Vote.
The Secretariat should be asked to brief the Committee on specific issues that they have oversight over, when these are on the Committee programme. They should therefore be invited to all relevant Committee meetings and will be asked to prepare inputs.
4. IPID
Despite the high legislative workload for 2013/14 the Committee will prioritise oversight over the IPID for the year. This will include announced and unannounced visits to IPID National, Provincial and Satellite offices as well as more intensive scrutiny over their budget, expenditure patterns and performance throughout the year including alignment between planning, budget and expenditure.
Ongoing oversight priorities:
· Oversight over and input into Strategic Plan, 2013/14 Annual Performance Plan, Budget allocation, Quarterly expenditure, Quarterly performance, and 2012/13 Annual Report including Audit findings.
· Receive briefing on their assessment of their state of policing, in terms of their areas of responsibilities and their turnaround strategy.
Specific focus areas:
· Monitor implementation and rollout of new legislation by the IPID.
· Ensure rectification of misalignment of budget with strategic priorities.
· Oversight visits to the IPID head office, provincial offices and satellite offices.
· Oversee appointment of Executive Director and provincial heads.
4. PSIRA
Despite the high legislative workload for 2013/14 the Committee will prioritise oversight over PSIRA for the year. This will include announced and unannounced visits to PSIRA Head Office, Provincial and Satellite offices as well as more intensive scrutiny over their budget, expenditure patterns and performance throughout the year.
Ongoing oversight priorities:

- All deadlines already missed must be noted and new deadlines given to the Department.
- The Committee will report in written form annually on all recommendations made by the Committee, including a report on deadlines missed by the Department.

o Research Unit to summarise responses. All responses must therefore be sent to the researchers as soon as they are received.
