CCIN convention held
The partners get together to put names to faces and rub shoulders with key law agency officials during the conventions.
RELEVANT stakeholders gathered for the 4th Civilian Crime Intelligence Network (CCIN) convention at Gold Reef City Crown Reef Conference Room on Saturday, September 17.
The CCIN is an established relationship between selected organised and credible sectors of civil society, among others, the various police agencies, CPF, neighbourhood watches, security companies, tracking and recovery, EMS, and businesses to name a few. All of this is underpinned by a Partner Networking Synergy (PNS) between the collective of role players with no compromise to any individuals or entity’s mandate.
Dr Mikail Reza Patel, the founder of CCIN, opened the convention with a detailed description of their vision. He was followed by MMC for Community Safety, Clr Michael Sun who welcomed CCIN intervention on crime. He said the wealth of intelligence that CCIN has, will help a lot in combating crime.
“This is the kind of networking we need in our communities. As a community we are so big and the criminals are so small yet they are beating us. We need this kind of intervention,” said Sun.
The partnership, via the primaries, has a reach of over 11-million people and businesses throughout SA. It practices its networking function by means of social media groups, regular workshops in various crime and related spheres, task team formulation and execution against criminal issues at hand, and technologically driven crime intelligence gathering for the police partners and other law agencies who are partners in the network.
The partners get together to put names to faces and rub shoulders with key law agency officials during the conventions, which include presentations by high level business and industrial experts where crime is spiralling and damaging the economy and assistance is sought to curb and bring perpetrators to book.
Networking with traffic, emergency medical and fire services is also fundamental to the networking dynamic.
