This were the words of Benoni Police Cluster commander Brig Vuyokazi Ndebele, at a medal parade at Marivatte Park, in Daveyton.
A total of 78 police officers in the Benoni Cluster received medals for meritorious and exemplary service, on August 29.
Officers were recognised for 10 years, 20 years and 30 years of outstanding service and responsible leadership.
They received bronze, silver and gold medals.
Ndebele said the officers worked tirelessly to ensure service delivery and wished them well for the future.
Gauteng provincial deputy police commissioner Gen Phumla Gela told medal recipients to be proud of themselves.
“You did not just add to a number, but you have shown purpose and have been loyal to the service and the government of today,” said Gela.
He encouraged them to carry on and be the foundation of wisdom to young officers joining the force.
