THE South African Police Service invites youth of all races between 18 and 30-years-old to join the police.
There are vacancies for trainees (entry level constables) at units, stations and at the KZN provincial office.
Applicants must meet the following requirements:
They must be South African citizens; physically, medically and mentally healthy; have a grade 12 or equivalent qualification; a code 8 driver’s licence will be an added advantage; be between the ages of 18 and 30 years; be able to speak two official languages; no tattoos and within the body weight and height restriction. Applicants should have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 30; no criminal record or pending cases.
Application forms can be obtained from your nearest police station. The forms will also be available on the SAPS website. Completed application forms and the following documents must be returned to your recruitment centre: Certified copies of identity document, certified copy of grade 12 certificate (matric certificate), certified copy of driver’s licence and proof of residence.
“We appeal to people from minority groups to apply for these vacancies to ensure the SAPS is able to meet its obligation in terms of employment equity guidelines. We are not receiving sufficient applications from the white, Indian and coloured communities and we urge school leavers from these communities to consider employment in the SAPS. It is our intention to promote representivity through the filling of these posts,” said Major Thulani Zwane of the KZN police media centre.
