“The grade 7 learners of Irene Middle School and Centurion Primary School were exposed to the many possibilities available in making the South African Police Service a career choice.
“Members from various different units spoke to the learners about what their daily duties entailed and informed them about the academic requirements in order for them to choose a career path in the police.”
Miller said the highlight of the day was a special display by the members of police from the search and rescue unit, comprising of the water wing, and the search and rescue K9 unit.
Members from the department of community and safety were also present and informed learners about road safety and the dangers of not being vigilant on the country’s roads.
