GAC Risk Solutions joins the E2 Project
GAC Risk Solutions has joined the Eyes and Ears Initiative (E2), it’s an official joint crime-fighting initiative between the South African Police Service (SAPS), Business Against Crime South Africa (BACSA) and the Private Security Industry (PSI) whereby the PSI formally cooperates with the SAPS by relaying information directly to the Provincial Operational Command Centre (POCC) and in some instances, receiving such relevant information directly from it.
“Thus GAC Security has direct access to the SAPS Command Centre”
The PSI, through BACSA, has at least one representative on a 24/7 basis in the POCC. All PSI participants use the agreed Integrated Communications Platform (ICP) which uses the Push-To-Talk (HALO PTT) technology over a Cellular communication network and a Telegram group to communicate with the PSI staff in the E2 POCC.
The objectives of the E2 initiative are:
– To enhance the situational awareness of the SAPS by using the Private Security Industry’s (PSI) geographical deployment footprint for the sharing of information.
– To enhance operational response to crime hotspot areas, violent crimes, TRIO crimes and with specific emphasis on crimes that are heavily dependent on situational information and a shared concern for both the SAPS and the PSI.
– To allow for the PSI to assist each other (and SAPS) were needed in a noncommercial and non-competitive capacity.
