EDITORIAL POLICY

Johannesburg has no shortage of real-life crime stories, but few will restore your faith in the system or in people’s

relentless quest for truth and justice, quite like the story of Betty Ketani. This week saw the launch of the book, Cold Case Confession, by local journalist Alex Eliseev. Cold Case Confession sets out one of the most perplexing crime stories of the decade.

It all started back in 2012, when the owners of a house in Kenilworth ripped up the old carpets in their home to complete some renovations.

A simple, typed letter, which could easily have been tossed aside, began with the

following chilling words: “If you are reading this, then I am dead.”

What follows is a confession that details the kidnapping, torture and murder of single mother of three, Betty Ketani. Like thousands of other mothers around this country, Betty had made her way to the so-called bright lights of Johannesburg, all the way from Queenstown in the Eastern Cape.

She became a chef at Cranks, a restaurant well-known to locals. In her quest to send wages home and provide for her family, Betty spent her life at work. Time with loved ones was restricted to Christmas and Easter.

Then in 1999 all contact between Betty and her children ceased. The bewildered Queenstown family were filled with anguish as their beloved mother, daughter and sister had seemingly disappeared without a trace.

A haphazard police investigation offered no peace or comfort, and Betty’s story was shelved in the abyss of the criminal justice system for nearly 13 years until that fateful day when the letter was found.

In 2012, Eyewitness news reporter, Alex Eliseev was tipped off about a peculiar cold case, and the mystery letter, shortly after the first murder suspects were arrested.

Just this week and almost two decades from the time that the murder was committed, Betty Ketani’s killers were finally brought to justice, when the judge handed down sentencing, most notably 30 years to Carrington Laughton, who it turned out was the author of the three-page typed confession.

So, what’s the big deal about the Betty Ketani case? It’s the fact that against all

odds and despite the best efforts of a few heartless criminals – the story of a little-known woman from a small town captured the attention of a group of dedicated and relentlessly committed individuals.

From the police who re-opened the case, including investigating

officer, Captain Gerhard Van Wyk to lead prosecutor, Herman Broodryk SC (who described the case as the most difficult in his 34-year career) together with his partner, Advocate Namika Kowlas.

Without a body and with no motive provided, this entire case was built on circumstantial evidence and DNA samples sent across the continents for testing.

Then there’s Alex Eliseev, who gave Betty and her family a voice. While Oscar and Dewani captured the attention of millions around the world, Alex remained quietly committed to Betty’s case. He kept a photo of her above his desk at his home office.

So, when free time with his wife and son were sacrificed, when he faced teasing from colleagues about the never-ending cold case, and when the trial seemed to drag on without an end, he would think about the young mother from Queenstown and how desperately her family needed closure.

So, while the wheels of justice turned slowly, this time they turned in the right direction. To this day Betty Ketani’s killers have never provided a reason for why she was murdered. However, Cold Case Confession does much to restore your faith in our system, and some of the stellar individuals who still do everything they can for the ordinary South African. To quote Thuli Madonsela’s words about Eliseev’s book, it just goes to show that – “we are all equal before the law”.

Historical SystemsFor Single / Multiple Site ApplicationNo wiring required on site

With the country’s economy struggling to fight off junk status and the rising cost of living, a

growing number of South African citizens are finding themselves with few options left.

A recent revelation by Pali Lehohla, statistician general of Stats SA, revealed that the unemployment rate in the country has increased by 2.2 per cent in the first quarter of 2016, bringing total unemployment figures in South Africa to a staggering 26.7 per cent.

This is statistically the highest it has been since the 2008 global recession that saw global unemployment rates soar.

Numerous high-profile industries have

been particularly hard hit by declining employment levels. The trade, manufacturing, and construction industries were the biggest victims in this latest downward spiral, accounting for almost 300 000 jobs lost between them.

The issue that South Africa now finds itself facing is the societal impact of unemployment on a portion of the population that is in excess of 14 million citizens.

Despite the government’s renewed attempts to stimulate job creation in the wake of the global recession, more South Africans are finding employment hard to come by. This then begs the question: what happens to this unemployed population?

One of the key issues that the government faces in this fight against unemployment is growing discontent and loss of support among a significant portion of the voting population.

One wouldn’t have to look hard to find support for the reigning ANC government wavering, with the popularity of President Jacob Zuma arguably at an all-time low.

The rise of the Economic Freedom Front party has added to the already competitive climate fostered by the DA, meaning the ANC have reason to sweat under the collar, particularly with the impending nationwide municipal elections.

Alcohol and substance abuse is another factor that is heavily influenced by the unemployment epidemic.

South Africa is one of the highest ranked countries in terms of alcohol consumed

per capita, with the average drinking South African consuming approximately 11 litres per year.

Alcohol or drug abuse often offers those suffering from depression or desperation a way to escape their hardships and switch off from the real world.

Substance abuse has a further knock-on effect of leading to other vices, such as prostitution or petty crime in order to fuel their habits.

With South Africa’s existing reputation as a crime haven, further growth in crime statistics will negatively impact on the country’s standing as a popular tourist destination.

Ultimately, there is no quick fix to the unemployment problem in this country. Instead, it will have to take a concerted effort from government, first and foremost, in conjunction with public and private sectors in order to stimulate job growth and secure the future of South Africa’s people and its economy.

Making education more accessible to a wider portion of the population would be a step in the right direction for fighting youth unemployment and creating a steadier future for the South African workforce.

Unemployment and its effect on South AfricansUnemployment in South Africa is a constant disorder that, instead of being treated, continues to grow and infect growing numbers of disillusioned South Africans.


SPECIAL FEATURE

According to the latest market research by Marketsandmarkets, the access control market is expected to reach $10.4 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 10.6 per cent between 2014 and 2020.

Locally the increase in crime, and globally the ever-present threat of terrorism attacks are the factors compelling corporate and commercial organisations, as well as government authorities to focus on greater utilisation of access control technology, products and services. The high cost of some products is one of the major restraints for the growth of the access control market.

The report adds that biometrics has played a crucial role in the growth of access control products by unifying both the technologies. Fingerprint, iris, and signature identification are some of the major areas of biometrics that are expected to indicate significant growth in the near future.

Recently, mobile-based access control has been introduced in the market, which follows the principle of bring your own device (BYOD) to access any area or place. All these factors are expected to provide the access control market with a huge growth opportunity in applications such as commercial, industrial, government, military and defence, healthcare, residential, and education. The commercial application of the access control market has the highest market share and is expected to grow tremendously in the coming years.

The access control market report covers the products types such as contact cards and readers, contactless cards and readers, hybrid or all-in-one cards and readers, biometric systems, mobile access readers, management software, database and servers. The biometric systems include fingerprint, iris, hand geometry, palm, signature, and face identification.

The products are widely used in sectors like commercial, residential, military and defence, government, industrial, healthcare, and education. The commercial application in this report covers

different sectors such as airports, enterprises, and financial institutions. The report also covers the geographical analysis of the access control market. The regions analyzed are North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW).

LAUNCHING AT SECUREX 2016

DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED in Poland, the FPX10 has developed the

biometric technology by expanding its functionality and application in businesses. We, at Active Track (Pty) Ltd, are the Polish manufacturer’s preferred African re-seller.

While it monitors time and attendance, much in the same way as traditional biometric systems, the FPX10 Biometric is able to capture data through fingerprints, as well as RFID tags. While biometrics generally use a five-point fingerprint recognition, FPX10 relies on a 21-point fingerprint identification, which ensures extremely accurate inputs insofar as the roll-call, and clocking in and out of staff is concerned. In addition to fingerprint identification, FPX10 is equipped with RFID tag recognition. This feature enables the FPX10 to monitor inter alia the movements of valuable assets, by attaching an RFID tag to each item, to be scanned when being checked in and out, respectively. As

an additional safeguard, one can demand that employees simultaneously scan their fingerprints, and the relevant RFID tags, when moving assets.

The brilliance of monitoring staff and assets with FPX10, is fully portrayed by the device’s GSM functionality, and Active View – FPX10’s web-based support platform. With these capabilities, employers are able to access data, in real-time. This feature allows the employer to determine, at any given time, exactly which employees and/or assets are clocking in or out of the designated premises, and the precise time thereof. Insofar as no-shows, late arrivals and early departures are concerned, the employer can rely on the data as a record of absenteeism, and take disciplinary action against the relevant member of staff. From a cost perspective, the time and attendance data stored on Activeview can be integrated into the employer’s payroll system, thereby ensuring that the employer only pays for hours worked –

The industry is no stranger to biometrics – a fingerprint scanner, monitoring employees’ clocking in-and-out times. However, the FPX10 has vastly improved and extended biometric capabilities.

nothing more. In addition, an employer can reduce unwanted overtime, by regularly reviewing the real-time record of time and attendance.

At a practical level, the Active View portal allows the customer to edit and update the functionality and intelligence of each of its FPX10 devices, remotely. This would be particularly useful in a security company, where guards are rotated between a range of sites. The security company would simply log on to the portal, and move the relevant guard’s fingerprint intelligence from an FPX10 device stationed at one site, to an FPX10 device stationed at another. Once actioned, the guard would sign on for his shift at the new site, as he had done at the previous site. The data would automatically

adjust to reflect the new site on the guard’s profile, stored on Active View.

Due to its portable nature, the FPX10 is easy to install, and can be implemented in all labour-intensive industries. In a relatively short space of time, the FPX10 has been implemented in the security, mining, construction, hospitality, medical health, and landscaping industries. This wide-spread implementation bears testament to the diverse functionality and application of the FPX10.

While the primary focus of the FPX10 is to reduce the customer’s payroll, and improve the monitoring of its staff, it also assists in safeguarding the lives of those employees utilising the device, and the premises at which it is installed. This is achieved

through pre-programmed stay-awake, fire, medical, and emergency panic activations, which have been successfully relied on in distress situations.

In striving to be the lead supplier of FPX10 in Africa, Active Track (Pty) Ltd incorporates maintenance and technical support into the customer’s monthly rental fee. This monthly rental fee is substantially lower than industry standard. Reducing these costs, and implementing fixed monthly figures, offers us a sizeable advantage over competitors offering similar biometrics.

We, at Active Track (Pty) Ltd, invite you to contact us to arrange a demonstration on the FPX10 Biometric – the sophisticated professional in biometric technology.

TECHNOLOGY UPDATE

With no dedicated infrastructure in place for IoT – i.e., to send, receive or transport IoT signals

– it is critical that first movers in South Africa begin to more fully explore the possibilities. The decisions they make now may well impact the cost and longevity of the solutions they are developing, and help determine the robustness of the foundations the country puts in place for IoT.

In South Africa, IoT presents a huge opportunity in key sectors, but uptake and development of IoT-driven solutions is still low outside of security, vehicle and asset tracking, and point of sale applications.

In addition, the capacity to implement change is lacking – simple solutions, such as tracking of dustbin collection and emptying, is slow to happen because organisations battle to put in place the skills and technology processes needed.

Clearly, more knowledge and awareness is needed in sectors to keep pace with opportunity – along with a sense of urgency.

IoT is coming. Are you ready?The slow pace of change in South Africa is likely to change quickly in the next few years as communication capabilities are built into more and more devices, the IoT

cloud grows exponentially, and disruptive solutions with better value propositions begin to emerge to oust incumbents in various sectors.

Quite simply, customers want better services and cost efficiencies, and IoT-driven applications and solutions offer exactly this.

First movers are already preparing for this future, but they need to focus on more than the development of the IoT solution and the integration of IoT to existing or new processes. They need to now take a careful look at the long-term implications of making use of IoT.

IoT signals vary from a field device sending tiny bits of information every few seconds or minutes, to devices that broadcast a signal every few hours or days. These are tiny bits of data, but for the IoT solution to work, the network that the data is sent along needs to be 100 per cent reliable.

There are few dedicated IoT network solution providers in South Africa. The major telcos all offer their own solutions.

But GSM is expensive for IoT, and with high congestion on most networks and limited remote coverage, it’s not nearly as reliable as it needs to be.

In addition, GSM is power hungry, requiring more bandwidth to move data. IoT data is characterised by small bursts of a few bytes of data.

Thus, using GSM networks, the battery technologies used in field devices, which ideally need to last two to five years or more, are quickly depleted. This will add to the cost of the solution.

Find dedicated IoT network providersIn Europe, the United States and elsewhere, dedicated networks with new topologies are being developed for IoT. These networks are geared to low power devices and

TECHNOLOGY UPDATE

low volumes of data, and feature a mesh of repeater stations to ensure 100 per cent throughput.

There are some options in South Africa. The globally defined Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) band which is also available in South Africa is open for use upon registration but investment in developing such a network is not insignificant.

As the IoT data payload is still low, this is not a very lucrative or attractive market yet, and there are few players champing at the bit to offer these services.

At present, because network choices are limited, companies offering IoT solutions select their own channel partners and mandate use of these networks.

Thus, when customers sign up for the service they may not have a choice of networks.

Similarly, organisations developing proprietary solutions are currently making use of whatever network provider solutions they can find, without fully investigating their options or understanding the long term impacts that network choices may

impose – in terms of costs and management of devices.

What South Africa needs is a set of reliable dedicated IoT network providers that guarantee data throughput and conform to global standards.

With IoT standards developing in China, the US and Europe, it will be important for South Africa to make a choice in terms of standards, and not default to the one most commonly used by operators.

Choosing an IoT network provider – top three considerations Key requirements for companies making use of IoT network providers include the following:• Be specific in terms of defining

requirements and needs – Is national or defined geographic coverage

needed– How often will data need to be sent and

received?– What connect and control specifications

are in play?

• Ensure the network provider is flexible– Can they adapt to your IoT application to,

for example, easily connect more devices, send more data more or less frequently, improve reporting?

– Do meet and incorporate key IoT standards

• High service levels are critical– Does the network service provider have

a network reserved and dedicated to IoT that offers high stability?In South Africa, commercial applications

of IoT are limited, but the opportunity and advantage that IoT presents across sectors is seeing a number of proprietary solutions emerge.

If you are gearing to make use of IoT, consider your options carefully. Be aware of the limitations and challenges and make use of solution providers that are flexible, established and experienced, and demonstrate their understanding of IoT technologies.

IoT technology is an emerging field but it’s going to be one that plays a big role in our digital future.

For businesses or properties with large perimeters, standard CCTV imaging can pose significant

challenges. The biggest issue in surveillance lies in the lighting conditions of the area to be monitored, as regular CCTV cameras require adequate lighting to capture a usable image.

The solution lies in the use of thermal cameras that operate just as effectively by day as by night, without the need for additional lighting.

What are the shortcomings of conventional CCTV cameras? Weather can have a serious detrimental impact on its effectiveness as

Thermal cameras with analytics re-inforce perimeter security

heavy rainfall and dense fog can obstruct the camera’s view.

Such cameras are also affected by bright lights (like car headlights) and smoke which can be used to a criminal’s advantage.

Another vulnerability that’s easy to exploit is the fact that CCTV cameras require an additional source of light at night, which is why criminals do their best work under the cover of darkness.

One of the most useful applications for thermal cameras is perimeter surveillance and monitoring, as these military-grade cameras have low power requirements and multiple lens options to allow surveillance operators to view images in environments with little or no lighting.

Thermal camera technology detects “heat signatures” generated from objects and people to create an image of the environment, which is viewed on screen in black and white; black represents the environment as it should be and white highlights a perimeter threat, or an exception in the environment that triggers an alarm.

Intelligent video analytics applications used in conjunction with these cameras can automatically detect threats and distribute

The importance of surveillance for security purposes cannot be under-estimated. Its objective is to detect, prevent and deter criminals, as well as provide evidence that can be used in their prosecution.

By Laurence Smith, executive at Graphic Image Technologies (GIT) alerts in real time, leaving security personnel to effectively manage threats to the perimeter rather than expend effort in detecting them.

Video analytics technology is able to positively identify and protect against intrusion with up to 98 per cent accuracy and can differentiate between animals, humans and vehicles, which means fewer false alarms.

Knowing the nature and exact location of a perimeter alarm can help security operators to respond quickly and appropriately and stop the intruders before any harm is done, which can be challenging in geographically-isolated areas such as estate, farm and factory perimeters, where the perimeters could be many kilometres long.

The addition of thermal cameras to an existing CCTV system is uncomplicated and is therefore advisable in those areas where conventional CCTV surveillance is insufficient or not viable.

Unaffected by bright light, thermal cameras can penetrate through dust, smoke and any adverse weather conditions with an effective detection range of between 200-400 metres, depending on the lens used. Because of this range, using thermal cameras can even be used to reduce the overall number of cameras required in a surveillance set up.

Ensuring that CCTV surveillance footage is effective on a 24/7 basis no matter what the season, is one of today’s biggest challenges in the security field.

With thermal imaging cameras and video analytics intelligence, security operators can be assured that the perimeter is secure and that intrusion will be detected no matter the weather or time of day.

mode management while the IdentiSafe integration for reference checks, criminal record checks, driver’s licences, credit reports, fraud Llstings with SAFPS, and PSIRA registration.

New information and communication technologies allow REMC’s to obtain more (and improved) information and use it to provide more services to the estate management and residents than ever before.

Unless the impact of these technologies on human operators is considered and addressed, the expansion of capabilities and responsibilities for the REMC could potentially create excessive workloads for REMC staff. Furthermore, the introduction of new, complex information display and control systems creates an increased likelihood of system-induced human errors.

Maximising operator effectivenessIn order to maximise the efficiency of REMC operators and systems and minimise error rates, the REMC must be designed from a human factors perspective. This implies that Estate management, together with the designers and installers of the REMC need to explore and define the role of computers and humans within the context of PISM systems. Some of the biggest challenges experienced during implementation at Serengeti have included operator resistance to change, changes in skills set required, motivating the business model and demonstrating the return on investment in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.

To further enhance the security at residential estates they will over the next five years have to migrate

towards adopting some elements of a physical integrated security management system (PSIM). This can be done by borrowing advanced system, information, and control technologies and wedding these to existing, relatively low-technology estate management hardware.

“Omega Security Solutions has been working in close collaboration with the Serengeti Residential Estate on a comprehensive security management system, which includes the installation of a physical integrated security management system (PSIM), that will assist us in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of our security operation at Serengeti,” says Roy Rawlins, managing director of Omega Risk Solutions.

Hannes Hendriks, Serengeti Estate manager adds that the Axxon Intellect system applied is an advanced physical security software platform that combines intelligent video analytics, universal IP connectivity and event-driven automation capabilities in a single environment. CiiMS Professional is an integrated application, which is further utilised to capture and manage information related to incidents, risk management, investigative and law enforcement environments.

“The installation of these technologies has enabled some core functionality. This allows for the integration of digital video surveillance and audio monitoring systems with existing data systems, various security equipment, and auxiliary software, using integrated open interfaces for data exchange,” adds Mr Hendriks.

It also enables security management to load occurrences, investigations, and incidents and set up automated email/SMS notifications for occurrences, incidents, and completed checklists and job cards.

The Signal Tower integration allows for alarm management, monitoring, the management of response teams and disaster

The human factor in residential estate management centres (REMCs)While advanced technology has the ability to revolutionise risk management for estate security, these technologies are often not applied to their full potential. In order to maximise the application of newly developed systems, it must be designed to be aligned with the needs, expectations, capabilities, and limitations of the day-to-day operator. Full account also need to be given to the increased skill requirement of the operators.

To maximise the benefit, the level of human skills required on the REMC is of a high calibre. A detail skills matrix has been designed and incorporates elements such as conceptual ability, detail orientation, judgement, decision-making and analytical skills at a higher level than is normally required in the typical control room. However, the results speak for themselves. There have been zero perimeter breaches at Serengeti since February 2010.

Maximising the ranger’s (security officer) effectiveness“The installation of technology, processes and systems is only as good as the people that respond to it,” says Mr Hendriks.

“The Rangers (Security Officers) that respond must have the knowledge, skills and ability to attend to the situation, with the right equipment (vehicle, communication, handheld night sight, tabled to navigate on and to send an incident rapport), which integrate directly with the technology and software in the REMCs, to allow operators to make decisions, and to escalate priorities to the management,” he adds.

“Omega Risk Solutions has aligned its manpower and training requirement to specifically meet the additional challenges as outlined above,” says Mr Rawlins. “The Omega Risk Solution Training Academy is uniquely positioned to provide custom designed training that specifically meet the requirement of rangers (security officers), REMC operators, and estate supervisors,” he says.

Taking it furtherThe next step at Serengeti is to integrate some estate management software onto the security platform. This will provide for a total new dimension to security management whereby the security platform will directly contribute towards the efficiencies and effective running of a residential estate.

COMMERCIAL SECURITY

Employees that commit theft, armed robbery and information security are major concerns, and companies

invest heavily with the aim of bolstering security, protecting people, and solving security problems.

This requires alarms, fire protection systems, video surveillance, access control systems, and intrusion detection devices. All technology that, in the hands of capable security operators, can significantly reduce risk, cut losses and keep people safe.

The problem, however, comes with the challenge of keeping security staff trained on distinct stand-alone systems.

If each of the key components of security – namely intrusion detection, access control, and video surveillance – is purchased separately, the training and administration thereof can become a costly burden.

Instead of having intrusion alarms on one system, administering access control on another standalone database and having intelligent digital video technology run elsewhere on its own dedicated computer equipment. By integrating these separate systems under a flexible automated system, the need to have separate service, maintenance, administration, and training for each system is eliminated.

An integrated solution allows office park administrators and the like to realise a lower upfront investment for a security system that is more powerful. Installation and training

occur on a single system and running costs like service and maintenance are also cut significantly, as one company becomes responsible for all of that.

An efficient, automated integrated system would be worthless without high-quality input devices. CCTV cameras are an important security component at office parks, buildings, in hallways as well as parking areas.

This is where efficiency can be improved even further in the commercial environment, by using next-generation component devices.

Ultra-high resolution cameras (“4K cameras”) can be used in the surveillance security, and these newer cameras have embedded processors that enable video to be compressed within the device and transmitted real-time over IP networks to network video recorders (NVRs) that centrally manage video feeds from numerous IP cameras.

Streaming video can be continuously recorded and if an incident occurs, disk indexing and time-stamping make it easier to find video from a set date and time.

As for the implications of the Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPI) on surveillance footage, the system’s video management software has the facility to re-record over the oldest information.

Where, in some organisations footage is required to be digitally available and stored for a period of 30 days (or longer), the NVR will replace expired footage when the

network storage space has been depleted.Where, for example, PoPI states that

certain information cannot be kept for more than 30 days, the management system can be programmed so that it erases information after 30 days.

How is this possible? Behind the CCTV system lies an intelligent video analytics engine that increases the productivity of security staff that are tasked with monitoring many cameras.

This technology examines the 4K camera’s field of view for patterns of movement that indicate something is happening out of the norm, like someone climbing a fence, running a tripline, etc.

Video analytics allows the security operator to focus on managing surveillance by exception events rather than having to monitor all events for an exception.

By using an integrated approach in commercial properties, the companies and the occupants who work in such buildings will benefit.

Integration means lower installation and operating costs, because it cuts out component and system redundancy and allows for the streamlining of security operations.

As a result, it reduces training requirements and enables security operators to perform their duties more efficiently, which in turn contributes to enhanced safety and security which is, at the end of the day, a massive feat.

By Laurence Smith, Executive at Graphic Image Technologies (GIT)

Owners and operators of commercial facilities are no longer looking for individual security solutions. Today, they want a package that offers all the aspects of security they need. Whether a property is owner-occupied or tenant-occupied, providing the most efficient security to ensure the safety of people and the protection of intellectual and physical property is critical.

It’s all about integration these days


OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SECURITY

When one considers that the mining sector has some of the highest rates of intoxication

in the workplace, the importance of this security aspect becomes clear.

Employees entering the mining workplace while under the influence of alcohol or drugs not only pose a health and safety risk, they are typically less productive than their sober colleagues, effectively stealing time from their employers.

While substance abuse is not traditionally considered an element of mining security, it does introduce risk and an element of theft, and should form part of any comprehensive security solution.

Mining by its very nature is a hazardous environment, involving heavy and often dangerous equipment as well as challenging working conditions.

Accidents can happen even if the entire workforce is sober and alert.

However, the chances of an incident occurring are multiplied drastically when one introduces alcohol and drugs into the mix. Alcohol and drugs have a negative effect on

behaviour and reaction times, not to mention the productivity of employees.

Employees who are not productive as a result of such intoxication are not working to their full capacity, and this theft of time is an aspect that is often not considered as part of security strategy.

In addition, risk mitigation should always form part of security strategy, and reducing employee risk is essential.

In order to achieve this, it is essential to put effective substance abuse policies and procedures into place.

While random testing is typical and can deliver some benefit, this approach fails to identify the majority of mining employees affected by alcohol or drugs.

This not only introduces an unacceptable level of risk; it has the potential to negatively impact the productivity of the entire mine.

Mandatory testing of each employee at the start of every shift needs to be included in the security policies of mining organisations.

This approach has been proven to be highly effective, particularly where safety regulators enforce this as a daily, compulsory practice.

In addition to compulsory daily testing, it is also essential to include educational programmes on the dangers of alcohol consumption in the workplace.

Such programmes should include real-world examples of the consequences of actions taken under the influence. When combined with compulsory alcohol testing, such practices can act as a significant deterrent to the use and abuse of alcohol in the workplace.

The Occupational Health and Safety Act specifies a zero tolerance approach toward alcohol and drug use in the workplace.

In addition, the South African Mine Health and Safety Act states that employers must provide conditions for safe operation, and may not permit intoxicated employees to enter mines.

However, the benefits of minimising the risk posed by substance abuse in mining go beyond simple compliance.

By including substance abuse into security, identifying intoxicated employees and not permitting them to enter a mine, mine owners can improve employee safety as well as ensuring maximum productivity.

Effective substance abuse policies and procedures requiredWhen it comes to security in mines, the major focus tends to be on preventing theft and unauthorised access, as a result of the high value commodities involved in the industry. However, comprehensive safety and security needs to cover so much more, including aspects such as theft of time, as well as risk to employees. By Rhys Evans, Director of ALCO-Safe

Comprehensive mining security

stage. This would afford the syndicate ample time to remove limestone, without raising an alert.

However, the security official was ignorant of the fact that each Active Track device is tamper-proof, and that any attempt to dismantle it, triggers an alarm in the Active Track call centre.

The call centre immediately alerts the customer, who, in turn, dispatches a response vehicle to look into the incident.

Prompted by a call from the Active Track call centre, a member of the security company’s response team arrived on site, shortly after the guard had unscrewed the back of his Active Track device.

The response team member witnessed the syndicate loading its bakkie with limestone, and alerted the police. The police arrived on site, where they apprehended the members of the syndicate as they attempted to flee the mine.

In addition, the security company was able to take the appropriate disciplinary action against the rogue guard, through reliance on Activeview, Active Track’s online portal, which tracks real-time movements of each device; and records all alarms triggered, and panic buttons activated.

CASE STUDY

Of particular importance to the quarrying company was the safeguarding of limestone, the

mineral forming the subject of the company’s mining right, portions of which had been stolen on a number of occasions. Considering that the new security company utilised Active Track devices; and that their managers were properly trained by Active Track to optimally use the technology, their appointment was an easy decision.

Unbeknown to the quarrying company, a syndicate had been targeting security officials posted at its Limpopo mine, for some time. It had been bribing the official posted at the main entrance to the mine, to abandon his post at specified times, to allow its team to enter the mine and remove loads of limestone. The syndicate extended its influence by targeting the new guards posted at the mine’s main entrance.

The first guard who had been persuaded to abandon his post, resolved to sabotage his Active Track device, so that the Active Track 24-hour call centre would not have evidence of a failed patrol (and would consequently not notify the security company) and would, instead, put it down to a technical error, to be remedied by its technical team at a later

According to an article in the Times Live on 23 December 2015, Deputy Minister Thabang Makwetla, said “that the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) should be

embarrassed at the number of cellphones found in prisons during Operation Vala over the festive season.”

The fight against contraband cellular telephones should be based on a number of pillars, such as implementation and enforcing of current laws, rules and regulations that prohibit cellular telephones in the correctional facilities. There should be no fear or favour in enforcing the “no cellphones in prison” rule. It should also be clear to every correctional officer, visitor and others who have access to the prisons what the penalties are when caught with a cellular telephone.

A strategy that proposes a “one size fits all” and does not distinguish between the protection requirements of different types

of facilities is doomed to fail. A facility that caters for awaiting trail prisoners should rather focus on prevention and when inmates come back from court, or when receiving visitors.

A long-term facility, on the other hand should focus more on their own staff and those who have contact with the long term inmates. “At the end of the day it is a correctional officer doing duty at the front door, a correctional officer allowing inmates or visitors in and out and it is a correctional officer [with a hidden cellphone] that can move right from the front door to the most secure cell in the facility” – Gary L Heyward. It is important that correctional departments and facilities procure the correct technology which is appropriate for its own unique situation and challenges.

CellDetect will exhibit the latest and most modern technology at Securex that can prevent cellular telephones from entering correctional facilities such as the SentryHound Cell Phone Detection Portal.

Where a cellular telephone has made its way into a facility, CellDetect has the right technology such as the SearchLight GSM Detection System that can remotely identify cellular telephones in a specific facility and with the right strategy will allow a prison to remotely deactivate cellular telephones, rendering it useless. It is no longer necessary to conduct physical searches that are dangerous, expensive and requires lots of manpower.

Fighting contraband cellphones in correctional facilitiesOne of the critical issues facing correctional facilities in South Africa is the growing problem of contraband cellular telephones inside our prisons. It is a serious security issue that requires continuous attention and the correct strategy and equipment.

It’s the same for security, Mr Marshall says. “Whether we look at guarding, on booms and in cars, or checking that routes are being followed precisely, on time, and that staff are always awake, supervisors and contact centres need to know the location of everyone, anywhere, any time.”

Facilities managers often present with a set of very specific challenges. These include:• Time and attendance – for permanent, casual and shift workers.• Team clock in – where a team leader responsible for one

area, floor or building can log in his team on one device. This is transmitted back to head office and integrates into over 100 payroll systems, thus eliminating all inaccurate paper time sheets and relieving the payroll admin staff of hours of checking, as well as ensuring accurate payments and cost savings.

• Staff tracking – the facilities manager can pinpoint all staff via an accurate web-portal from the comfort of his office, as well as produce up to 29 management reports on staff activities.

• Job dispatch and parts management – managers are able to dispatch maintenance staff very efficiently to carry out repairs, receive before and after photos for job completion and quality, and see the completed parts lists, again via a web-portal.Customers have reduced

Regrettably, in June 2014, this work of art was seriously damaged in an arson attack, and the museum management resolved to install a video surveillance system to better protect its art, particularly the items in the outdoor area.

Just a few days later, the video expert Dallmeier supplied a demo system, which was tested thoroughly and ultimately preferred over its competitors.

Today, the four pillars have been completely renovated, resplendent in their restored vibrant red, and the video system from Dallmeier is also working well.

monochrome video footage. This is the ideal base for a precise and fast 24-hour number plate recognition, regardless of environmental conditions or changing lighting at day and night.

The camera features an outstanding infrared sensitivity and permanently supplies infrared images with excellent contrast. The restriction on the infrared range allows for the elimination of disturbing daylight and ambient conditions.

In addition, the intense IR reflection of modern number plates is optimally utilised. This enables recordings with brilliant clarity and highest detail resolution, ideal for a precise number plate recognition in a 24/7 operation.

The outstanding infrared sensitivity of the camera is supported by the integrated homogeneous IR illumination. It is based on

semi-covert 850 nm high power LEDs and permits an illumination range of up to 18 m.

The camera is equipped with special presets in order to provide optimum recordings for the number plate recognition with SEDOR ANPR Server.

This allows the quick and easy adjustment of the settings to different capture ranges. Individual adjustments of the camera settings are usually not required.

The camera is equipped with a RAM memory that is used by the EdgeStorage function for storing the video stream in case of a network failure.

When the network is restored, the SmartBackfill function ensures a fast transmission to the SMAVIA recording system.

This stores the video stream with high speed and then continues the recording of the live stream seamlessly.

This solution, which incorporates Video Content Analysis (VCA), as well as 360° fisheye technology,

allows the Greenwood Village police to protect forensic evidence from external threats as well as improve employee accountability and monitor departmental procedure.

The Greenwood Village Police Department’s crime lab is a vital facility inside which evidence from crime scenes is stored, including firearms, narcotics, and cash.

The primary goals for the video surveillance solution were to integrate VCA into the critical areas of the crime lab to boost employee accountability, while creating new security capabilities as well.

“We had a system before but it was very archaic and outdated. There was no recording capability except for live viewing by the dispatch centre.

“It couldn’t detect motion and was in limited areas,” remarked Commander Joe Gutsgell, division commander of the Greenwood Village Police Department’s Investigations Unit.

Safe Systems Inc. in Louisville, Colorado, provided their technical expertise when installing the crime lab’s new video surveillance system.

They chose Hikvision products due to Hikvision’s reliable performance, excellent customer support, and cost-effective product line.

Hikvision’s 6 MP fisheye camera (DS-2CD6362-IV) allows for broad, yet precise, coverage of the evidence room.

The fisheye is designed to capture images from every corner of a particular location and eliminate blind spots: a helpful, cost-effective solution for small, indoor spaces like this one.

One camera takes on the job of what required three or more fixed cameras in the past.

“We’re taking advantage of the 360° fisheye to look at three doors simultaneously: the exterior door, an interior door to another part of the office, and the evidence room,” explained Mark Overland, senior safety and life security consultant of Safe Systems Inc.

Hikvision’s 1.3 MP mini dome cameras (DS-2CD2512F-IS-2.8MM) stand guard in the room where highly sensitive property confiscated by police is stored, and in the vehicle processing room, where Commander Gutsgell’s team collects evidence from vehicles involved in investigations.

Recorded video of this room also provides forensic accountability for the department’s

procedural integrity. Hikvision’s professional series 16-channel

NVR (DS-9616NI-ST) rounds out the solution. This high-performing, 48 TB recorder offers the ability to add cameras to the system as needed in the future.

VCA features such as motion detection further maximise storage efficiency, reducing saved data when it isn’t needed.

All said and done, Greenwood Village Police Department’s crime lab is making good use of a comprehensive surveillance system with features that will serve them well for many years down the road.

“Hikvision works to bolster the natural relationship between the security industry and law enforcement officials,” commented Jeffrey He, president of Hikvision USA and Hikvision Canada.

“We create products and solutions that help make these officials’ jobs easier and more efficient, allowing them to maximise their resources.

“We are proud to support the Greenwood Village Police Department in their tireless efforts to protect their community.”

Video surveillance secures crime lab Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier in innovative, award-winning IP video surveillance and CCTV products, has provided a state-of-the art surveillance solution to Colorado’s Greenwood Village Police Department for use in its crime lab.

As valuable evidence is collected and catalogued by police in Greenwood Village, Colorado, video surveillance

ensures safety and accountability in the police department’s crime lab.

The new Spot Monitor Recording plugin facilitates object tracking. Users can drag various cameras onto the Spot Monitor and view images live, record them simultaneously on

another channel and then easily export the overview created using the Spot Monitor.

For example, security services observe a shoplifter using multiple cameras, making it possible to quickly and easily save the entire event on a storage medium and hand it over to the police.

The entire surveillance procedure is documented on the Spot Monitor channel from start to finish. You only need to specify the start and stop times and the back-up is ready.

The new metadata motion search, abbreviated MOS, represents a further optimisation in event analysis. With MOS, users can search for specific movements in freely definable image areas – of course, in both live and in recorded images.

A special feature: Movement data is stored in an SQL database, video streams in Geutebruck’s proprietary video database. This dual architecture provides twice the security, setting a new standard in access speed and flexibility.

As a result, search results are available significantly faster than with other solutions on the video market. Event analysis is extremely comfortable for the user.

New features make it even easier to find out exactly what happenedThe new Geutebruck release has arrived: G-Core 1.4.2. The powerful video engine provided on all G-Scopes makes it easier than ever to find out what happened when an incident occurs, both live and when evaluating recorded images.

Geutebruck’s new release G-Core 1.4.2 has arrived. The powerful video engine provided on all G-Scopes makes it

object tracking and documentation of an event over several cameras. Metadata motion search enables intelligent,

lightning fast search for motion in the picture.

COCKTAIL PARTY


LAW & SECURITY

By Peter Bagshawe

In Cele’s case there was a board of inquiry into his role in the leasing by the South African Police Service of

buildings in Pretoria and Durban where both involved excessive floor space and irregular procurement processes. Both of these leases were cancelled following an investigation by the Public Protector.

The State President convened the board of enquiry and, on its recommendations, replaced Cele as National Police Commissioner on the basis that he was unfit to hold office but was not found guilty of corruption.

The President then replaced Cele with Riah Phiyega in the role of National Police Commissioner, which was the third consecutive appointment of a non-career member of the South African Police Service as National Police Commissioner.

Their immediate predecessors were Jackie Selebi (also not a member of the Police Services prior to his appointment, and resigned as National Commissioner when he was charged with corruption) and George Fivaz, who had a lengthy career in the South African Police Service.

The Claassen board of inquiry was scheduled to last some five weeks and was established in response to recommendations that the fitness of Phiyega to hold office be reviewed in line with the findings of the Farlam Commission into actions and evidence adduced during the hearings.

Given that the Farlam Commission lasted some two years the quantity of evidence available for review was obviously substantial and recommendations on specific allegations that were to be investigated include: • Whether Phiyega and senior police officers

misled the Farlam Commission with regard to the decision on the use of maximum force against the striking platinum mine workers.

• Events and decisions made at a national meeting of senior police leaders the night before the Marikana shooting.

• Remarks made by Phiyega at a police passing out parade shortly after the shootings at which she praised police for their actions.

• Establish if there was an orchestrated cover-up of the killing of mine workers at Scene 2 at Marikana.

The full ambit of the matters to be reviewed fall broadly into categories that are related to or would fall under the umbrella of the three listed above.

The first day of the Claassen inquiry was largely taken up by argument as to whether only evidence adduced at the Farlam Commission could be reviewed.

The Commission decided that additional witnesses who had not testified at the Farlam Commission could be called and that within boundaries, evidence outside the Farlam Commission could be introduced in order to review the actions of the parties in relation to the actions and activities of the parties, as well as evidence that had become available subsequent to the Commission.

The additional evidence and calling of new parties was obviously argued strenuously, but unsuccessfully, against by the lawyers representing Phiyega on the basis that this would be wide of the mandate of the Claassen enquiry.

This was followed by the leading of evidence by the evidence leader which commenced with members of the South African Police Services.

The first of the witnesses was a captain in the North West tactical response team who outlined the decision making chain in the decision to use tactical measures in disarming strikers and removing them from the kopje as having been taken by national management which would have included the relevant generals and Commissioner.

Captain Ntlati was not a witness at the Farlam Commission but his affidavit was read at the Commission and included in the evidence. This was followed by evidence from then Brigadier Lindela Mashigo of the Police Service’s Communications Department who gave evidence that suspended National Commissioner Phiyega instructed that the content of a media release be amended to delete reference to a number of details, including the number of strikers killed in the Police action.

He also stated Phiyega dictated changes to the media release that related to the

actions of the strikers, the escalating levels and mechanisms of response by the Police and the use of force being required to protect members of the Police from the advancing strikers.

During the course of the evidence, e-mail correspondence was led that showed Phiyega had instructed the Police not to respond to a request for assistance in respect of a meeting of the respective expert witnesses on both sides to identify areas of commonality, differences and the reasoning behind their respective stances.

This was particularly applicable to Cees de Rover, an expert witness on behalf of the South African Police Service who, during the Farlam Commission proceedings, gave evidence that he could not obtain clarity on who had issued the order for tactical measures to apply, had not received assistance from Phiyega on this and that it was the international norm that an instruction to use force under these circumstances would have required a written instruction signed by the Executive.

The decision not to co-operate was taken up by the South African Police Service Legal Department whose advice to Phiyega recommending compliance was not acted on.

At the close of the hearing on Friday, 6 May, Advocate Ismail Jamie, who headed the evidence leaders advised that he was closing the case.

This closure came before evidence was adduced for the majority of the witnesses listed by Advocate Ismail Jamie’s team had been heard and on consideration appears to indicate that the evidence leaders are of the opinion that they have established the requirements of at least the three of the four primary points of investigation listed above.

If this is taken as correct, the evidence leaders must have been convinced that they had established that Phiyega’s fitness to hold office had been sufficiently eroded for the Claassen inquiry to find against her.

Even more surprising is that Phiyega’s team also closed their case and this was done without leading witnesses and without Phiyega giving evidence on her behalf.

The option on this side must be that the Phiyega team felt that no case had been presented that required an answering

The Claassen board of inquiryFollowing the suspension of the National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega by the State President in line with the recommendations of the Farlam Commission of Inquiry into the deaths at Marikana the first comparison that was made was that she, rather like her immediate predecessor, has been subject to enquiries relating to the performance of their duties and fitness to hold office.

The AccessLine Gramma Switch is a certified Sabbath compliant remote/receiver unit. This device is intended for use on the Sabbath and Festivals and has been approved by The Tzomet Institute and is endorsed by the Beth Din of Johannesburg.

Pressing the button on a Gramma Switch does not draw power from the battery. There is a computer (microprocessor) inside the Gramma Switch that is always on, unlike a normal remote. This microprocessor sends a pulse, approximately every 10 seconds, which checks to see if the button has been pressed. If the computer (microprocessor) detects that the button has been pressed, the microprocessor waits for the next pulse to confirm that the button was pressed. The microprocessor will then send a signal to change the state of the alarm.

argument (following the cross examination of Mashigo and efforts to attack his credibility) and that there was no requirement to rebut to evidence led by Advocate Jamie.

Following on from here it is likely that the Classen inquiry will now be a detailed review of the recorded evidence given by Phiyega to

the Farlam Commission and that proceeding will then be held over pending a decision by the inquiry which will have to report to the State President.

In the interim, it is likely that there will be a focus on the inquiry with a number of stake holders, obviously including the widows of the

deceased miners, who will then review the result and options that are available to them.
