The Annual Performance Plan (APP) indicates that the strategic priorities of the Department of Police are to combat crime to ensure that all people are safe. Whilst there has been a decrease in crime in general in the first quarter 2010/11 in some areas such as contact related crime, property related crime, and detection, the rate of crime has increased. Irrespective of the progress made to reduce the crime rate in certain areas, levels of crime are still unacceptably high in South Africa. It is well understood that the Annual Performance Plan (APP) of the Police was revised after the revision of the Estimate of National Expenditure 2010. The main focus of the Crime Prevention Programme is precisely to reduce crime levels specifically of the trio crimes and crime against women and children as well as the implementation of a comprehensive crime prevention strategy which will be focusing on reducing illegal firearms.
