Police reservists wanted

THE SAPS is inviting members of the community who are energetic, intelligent, physically and mentally fit and dedicated, with a desire to serve their community, to join the SAPS on a voluntary basis as a reservist.
This will help the SAPS in the fight against crime.

A reservist performs voluntary duty in the SAPS without any expectation of receiving compensation for such duty.

In terms of the Regulations of the South African Reserve Police Service, you may be called up by the national commissioner to perform duties in order to strengthen and support the police in performing its constitutional mandate as set out in Section 205 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 and that you will not receive remuneration (unless so called up).

You will be expected to perform a minimum of 16 hours voluntary duty per month.

You must be a South African citizen by birth and must be between 20 and 50 years old.

Applicants who previously served in a government department and who were dismissed as a result of misconduct, or discharged as medically unfit from a previous employer, are excluded.

All applicants will be subjected to psychometric, medical evaluation and own expense and own medical practitioner or doctor and interview.

Selected candidates will be invited to attend the Reservist Training Programme.

An appointment as a reservist in the SAPS does not reserve any right or expectation to be translated, absorbed or appointed as an employee of the SAPS.

To apply, you need to complete the prescribed application forms in your own handwriting. The forms can be obtained from your nearest SAPS recruitment office or local police station.

Applicants must note that application forms are not for sale and anyone selling them will be criminally prosecuted. Specify the station for which you are applying. sign the application form in front of a commissioner of oaths and attach copies of your ID, driver’s licence, senior certificate, proof of reference or any other additional qualification if you have them. Submit two colour ID photographs, one of which must be attached on the prescribed application form.

Apply at a station close to your place of residence, as you will have to commute to and from the station with your own transport.

Application forms must be hand-delivered to your nearest police station or provincial recruitment centre.
