4.3.2 In its exploration of how its independence may be enhanced, the JICS had, as suggested by the Committee, met with the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) which is a similar statutory body. The meetings, and the June 2011 strategic planning workshop revealed a number of policy-related challenges that the JICS feared would arise should it become "organisationally independent". These included insufficient resources to implement equity, risk management, fraud prevention plans; the need to develop a JICS management information system, the formalisation and implementation of basic terms and conditions of employment policies and procedures, and the establishment of budget and planning committees.
