SVS 72h Response Plan

South Africa 

Timeline – 72-Hour Collaboration Response Plan

The 72-Hour Collaboration Response Plan follows a micro-management process of IMICS (Incident Management & Information Capturing System) directives to ensure a precision response to high level priority crimes or where it is believed that SVS (Specialised Victim Support) will be needed. 

It is the goal of the 72-Hour response plan that all tasks listed below will have been completed, and with a successful outcome, within the first 72 Hours, which is the time period in which the case is still hot, and at its most critical phase. Processes will be monitored throughout the period, and updates provided at intervals of 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hour marks to those relevant roleplayers in the matter.
