This comes at a time when safety and security in Ekurhuleni are in the spotlight, following the deaths of two children in Reiger Park, due to crime, recently.
Mayor Mondli Gungubele gave the new recruits, who are the best of 150 candidates accepted into the EMPD learnership programme, in December, 2012, a firm welcome into one of the city’s most important jobs.
The officers began their training in January, last year, and have undergone a series of theory and practical tests to prove their competency to fulfil the duties of a Metro Police officer.
They will assume their posts as from September 1. – @CarmenBoksburg
