This scientific approach to planning is sorely lacking. This presentation was done during 2018 to a Middle Eastern client, using the South African example. The author was previously also a member of the South African CIT Forum, and in fact developed that organisation's CONOPS.

The Need for Jointness* – May 2018
Ian van Vuuren
*Jointness is not simply cooperation. It encompasses a fusion of resources and minds
around the pursuit of a common objective. It takes the best of whatever capability each
organisation can offer for the achievement of specific crime fighting objectives. It
involves inter alia planning together, identifying objectives together, and employing and
tasking job-specific resources. It is an approach to achieve synergy in a resource
constrained crime fighting environment.
COUNTERING CASH-IN-TRANSIT CRIME

2. 4
Purpose of a CONOPS
To facilitate effective crime control operations by the relevant CIT JOC
against all CIT-related crimes within South Africa, and where relevant, the
region. To accomplish this the JOC:
• Establishes a structure for a systematic, coordinated and effective
response to CIT-related crimes – see IAF.
• Defines procedures for the JOC and CIT resources to augment and
support the efforts of the PPP – who are the PPP?
• Encompass daily risk, incident and consequence management
responsibilities.This document is a partial preview. Full document download can be found on Flevy:

• No single member of the PPP possesses the capability or expertise to
act unilaterally.
• Incidents may occur at any time of day with little or no early warning.
• The following principles drive crime control operations:
– Crime control can conduct parallel operations at all levels of the crime
landscape, simultaneously.
– Whoever controls the CIT crime space generally has the initiative.

Characteristics of the CIT Threat Environment
(cont’d)
• There exists a disharmony in terms of the numbers of perpetrators vis-
à-vis the strategic effect they manage to exert on business. Small
numbers (of criminals) can therefore have a disproportionate impact
on business operations.
• The CIT environment need to unite efforts to close down the crime
space to own terms.
• Law enforcement agencies at present do not control the crime space –
this needs to be done. Criminals’ freedom of movement should be
curtailed.

Characteristics of the CIT Threat Environment
(cont’d)
• Quick, effective and sustained response to crime threats and incidents
should be the status quo – this is not presently the case.
• Crime control strategies should also consider targeting the crime risk
factors.
