IN a move to increase its capacity, the South African Police Service (SAPS) is now re-enlisting former police officers.
“SAPS is giving an opportunity to trained and skilled police officers, who left the service honourably, in the ranks of constable, sergeant and warrant officer, to re-enlist,” said SAPS spokesman, Colonel Brenda Muridili.
Muridili said the recruitment of former police officers will form part of the organisation’s commitment to improve staffing levels.
This will enable it to fulfill its constitutional mandate to fight crime and keep South Africans safe.

“The successful candidates will be posted where there is currently a shortage, including specialised units such as Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences, Public Order Police as well as newly established units such as Taxi Violence Unit, Cold Case Investigation and Murder and Robbery Unit,” she said.
The official application forms can be obtained from the South African Police Service website at www.saps.gov.za.
The closing date for applications is on Friday, 31 July 2020.
