New communications officer has plans for the community
I knew at a very young age that I wanted to become a police official. I always wanted to make a difference in the community.
Cleveland SAPS has appointed a new communication officer, Captain Johan Jordaan, who will be working closely with Cleveland SAPS spokesperson Constable Mpho Mashakane.
Captain Jordaan has been working at the SAPS for 29 years and he has a vision for the community and the SAPS.
“I knew at a very young age that I wanted to become a police official. I always wanted to make a difference in the community. After matriculating at Ficksburg High School, Free State in 1987 I went straight to the SAPS to work,” said Capt Jordaan.
“I started working for the SAPS at Ficksburg in as a student constable. In 1988 I went to Pretoria SAPS College. I came to Cleveland SAPS in November 1988 and was working as a constable and I have never looked back.”
He said he would like to strengthen the communication between the SAPS and the community.
Captain Jordaan said he aimed to build a sound relationship with the community and to work with all stakeholders involved.
“That includes working with the media. I would like to see the community join hands with the police,” said Captain Jordaan.
Captain Jordaan can be contacted on 082 465 7530.
