ID checks and crim checks in SA

ID checks and crim checks in SA
by Marieta Krüger

I think the best way to start this blog is to give my readers some background information.

My name is Marieta Krüger and I am the owner of my own business, Afisclear.

I was an active member in the SAPS for 17 years before I decided to move on, start my own thing and spend more time with my family. However when I was still in the SAPS I worked on several SAPS systems including "crim check" system.

The biggest problem with this system however, are you feed an ID nr into the system and get a return. Now you will most probable ask me, now what is wrong with that.
The problem with this is the fact that you can not determine if the ID number given to you belongs to the person presenting it.

Let me try explain it in another way. Any person searching a database can only search the item against what is loaded on that database if that makes better sense.

To overcome this hurdle SAPS has decided that in future the only way the database can be access will be by finger print identification which is much more accurate.

Every person and company can say we did a crim check on a person before we employed him. As I said who say that that specific ID number belongs to that person.

SAPS came up with a brilliant concept. Block all ID checks and crim checks or access to it off their systems and outsource the function to private entity.

If you need to see proof letters, government gazettes I will gladly supply you with the relevant info.

I am an authorized supplier of the new system. The best of all, the new system is portable, the test is done at your premises, delivers the results to your office in 48 hours and eradicates the unnecessary paper work and awful ink. This service is fast and efficient.

The new way will be the only way soon. This is the way to go and I don't just say it because I want your business. You can also order your own system from me. I will supply all the training. (Conditions apply)
