Matriculants urged to join the SA police force
Young people between the ages of 18 and 30 who are in possession of a grade 12 certificate make use of this opportunity
Matriculants interested in a career in law enforcement, are urged to apply at their nearest police station before the Friday January 18 deadline.
“Matriculants who want to make a contribution to their community and serve to achieve a safer South Africa are encouraged to apply to become trainees within the South African Police Service,” said chairperson of the portfolio committee on police, Francois Beukman.
Beukman said young people between the ages of 18 and 30 who are in possession of a grade 12 certificate and have the necessary fitness levels should make use of this first 2019 recruitment opportunity.
“We need dedicated, motivated and energetic young people who want to make a difference to the crime situation in the country, and who will lead by example,” Beukman said.
The committee fully supports the strict vetting criteria and psychometric testing used by the police to establish if applicants are suitable for the job. Aspiring police members must have no links to criminality and fit the profile of a career law-enforcement officer.
