Benoni Flying Squad spokesperson Warrant Officer Grant Giblin has warned the public against a misleading social media post claiming that online applications for #PoliceTrainees are open.

“Online applications for these positions have not been officially advertised, and the SAPS online application portal is not currently active,” said Giblin.

He urged social media users not to share the post and advised the public to visit the official SAPS website at www.saps.gov.za for verified vacancies and updates.
