IBF Investigations cc (c) 2010

Technology Sponsorship	Vehicle Sponsorship	Required Sponsorship

Thanks to some very kind technology sponsors, we were very fortunate to be able to enhance the quality of our service over the years. These sponsors have been phenomenal in their contributions and - thanks to their kind sponsorships - IBF Investigations has grown to what it is today. One of those sponsors is SONY Corporation, South Africa. Thanks to their sponsorship of a Sony A100 Digital SLR Camera, Spare Batteries, a Flash Gun and extra lenses, we have been able to perfect our night-time photography. This technology has enabled us to photograph accident scenes under some of the most adverse conditions. Therefore, we have adopted the saying "We only use SONY..." We are also very thankful for the kind sponsorship offered by Garmin, through GP Tech. By using the GPS 16 Specialized USB GPS Receiver on our Notebook Computers, we are able to record the actual location of accidents, the routes taken by vehicles, the elevations and even the continuous tracks of moving vehicles directly. This technology has assisted enormously with various cases over the years. When we were still a young company, striving to grow and attempting to elevate our status and mobilize some of the best technologies around, Hi-Fi Corporation was kind enough to sponsor us the Sony Mavica CDV1000 Digital Camera for use on our accident scenes. This camera continued to serve us very well for several years until its replacement by newer Sony products. Project A.C.C.I.D.E.N.T. We can never forget the kind contributions made to our efforts in other ways, though. We are specifically thankful for the support shown by various individuals and organizations. It was their efforts that made it possible for Project ACCIDENT to be a huge success. Through those contributions, we were able to assist and educate hundreds of police and traffic officers at accident scenes all over the Western Cape. We are therefore most thankful to the following kind contributors for all their help over the years - specifically with Project ACCIDENT: Rand Water	Over the years, we have been very fortunate to have received a number of vehicle sponsors. As appreciative as we have been for these efforts, we feel that the concept of vehicle sponsorship interferes with our ability to function effectively as a unit. Typically, sponsors choose which particular model and type of vehicle they can or should sponsor for our purpose and expect that we should buy those vehicle at the end of the sponsorship. Yet, we often prefer to spend an amount of money (determined by the sponsorship) on a specific vehicle - as chosen by ourselves. This often results in a disparity between our needs and the ability or willingness of a sponsor to supply our needs at an agreeable cost. This all changed when IBF Investigation met with Auto Atlantic BMW in Foreshore, Cape Town. From day one, this was a relationship based on shared interest, bilateral commitment to road safety and a interactive friendship based on a longer-term vision. With the kind support of Auto Atlantic BMW, we were initially sponsored - we received a BMW 320i, which we were allowed to "use and test" for approximately 6 months, to ensure that the vehicle met with all our application- and performance requirements. We were happy and purchased the vehicle - the first in a series of vehicles we intend to own in future. We found that the BMW 320i is versatile, provides adequate space for all our equipment, projects an up-market image, performs well (acceleration, speed and fuel economy) and that the vehicle is supported by a fantastic dealership that is committed to "keeping us on the road." Our sincerest appreciation cannot be expressed enough for the friendship we have built with the Auto Atlantic BMW, for the commitment they have shown to our efforts and for their exceptional efforts in ensuring that we are happy with our vehicle. We are truly indebted to Auto Atlantic BMW.	It is through the kind and wonderful sponsorships and contributions that private individuals and the companies have made that IBF Investigations has been in the very fortunate position to keep contributing to the efforts of- and educating so many police-, traffic- and METRO police units. The kind sponsorships also enabled us to keep attending accident scenes - even when we full-well know that the involved parties could never afford our services. It is though contributions of any kind (financial, equipment, technology or services) that you might be able to ensure that we at IBF Investigations can keep giving back to our communities. The sponsors and contributors that have made their support known have even enabled us to commit to a much greater degree as Police Reservists. By actively going on duty as police officers, IBF Investigations' specialists are able to deliver a unique brand of quality directly inside the police service without any cost to the government. If you can find it in your heart to contribute to our cause, please feel free to contact us directly. All financial contributions will be treated as confidential and all equipment and/or technology sponsorships publicized, if required. Without your contribution, we would not have been able to train the hundreds (if not thousands) of police officers, as we have to date. We would like to continue this trend, and we would like to make even greater contributions. If you would like to contribute in some way, please contact us at your leisure...
