Question 1
When releasing the fourth quarter's crime statistics in May 2023, Minister of Police,
General Bheki Cele said "In interrogating the crime figures we are releasing today, it is
unmistakable that the decision to upscale visible policing and disruptive operations from
Thursdays to Mondays in all provinces is working. More boots on the ground are pushing
back on criminality through provincial intelligence-led operations to take down individuals
or criminal syndicates hell-bent on terrorising communities. These criminal lockdowns
have been adopted by all Provincial Commissioners and are guided by crime intelligence
and crime trends and analysis. This aggressive form of policing is adapted from the
Gauteng-based Operation O Kae Molao, which has been ongoing for five years. This
follows the need for the SAPS to upscale its responses to crime and lockdown and squeeze
the space for criminals."
Operation O Kae Molao is a law enforcement initiative launched by the South African
Police Service (SAPS) in Gauteng to combat crime and improve public safety. The
operation aims to enhance police visibility, enforce laws and address various forms of
criminal activity, including violent crime, drug trafficking and property crime. Operation
O Kae Molao reflects efforts by the SAPS to address the challenges posed by crime and
enhance public safety through targeted enforcement, community engagement and
collaboration with other government agencies and stakeholders.
1.1 Based on the statement above, discuss how the SAPS can use the Scanning, Analysis,
Response and Assessment (SARA) model when deploying law enforcement officers in
strategic locations to deter criminal activity and increase visible police presence in
communities during Operation O Kae Molao initiatives. (20)
Introduction to the SARA Model
The SARA model, which stands for Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment, is a
problem-solving methodology used by law enforcement agencies to address crime and safety
issues in a structured and systematic manner. This model can be effectively utilized by the South
African Police Service (SAPS) to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Operation O Kae
Molao. Below is a detailed discussion on how each component of the SARA model can be
applied:
Scanning
Scanning involves identifying and prioritizing potential problems and areas that require police
intervention.
