REPORT ON ISS SEMINAR

The report details a seminar featuring representatives from the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) regarding security plans for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Key discussions focused on the Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (JOINTS), funding for police equipment and personnel, the demarcation of stadium security zones, and the coordination between state and FIFA authorities.

• The South African Police Service (SAPS) developed an overall security plan executed by the Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (JOINTS), which involves 14 government departments and focuses specifically on 'Trio Crimes', defined as house robberies, business robberies, and car hijackings.
• Financial allocations for security included R640 million for additional police officer deployment and R650 million for the purchase of new police equipment.
• The Local Organising Committee (LOC) established a tiered security zone system for stadia, consisting of Public Zones (SAPS responsibility), Exclusive Zones (LOC and government by-law protection), an Outer Perimeter for searches and ticket inspection, an Inner Perimeter for access control, and colour-coded seat allocations in the stands.
• Despite stating readiness, the LOC identified several remaining challenges, including the integration of operational plans across the private sector, SAPS, NATJOINTS, and the LOC, as well as conflicts between FIFA and state authority regarding incident management.
• The LOC noted a significant requirement for steward training, needing 7,000 stewards for the 2009 Confederation Cup and 400,000 for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
