January 27 marked National Police Day, which Putfontein and Actonville SAPS celebrated.
The day is set aside to honour the men and women in blue for their sacrifices in combating crime.
Officiating the commemoration ceremony at the SAPS’ Tshwane Academy, Police Minister Bheki Cele reminded officers to focus their energies on what still needs to be done to create a safer environment for all the people in South Africa.
“We must never tire from flushing out the few rotten apples that hide behind this beautiful blue uniform but choose the life of criminality. The pockets of criminality within our organisation cannot and will not tarnish the excellence we are celebrating today,” said Cele.
