“We mainly focused on girls for this programme because we want to mentor them and develop their interests within the SAPS.
“We all know that most departments were previously run by men with little to no inclusion of women.
“By running this programme and exposing the young girls to our internal components, such as the Information Management Centre (IMC), Client Services Centre (CSC), human resources, finance, Local Criminal Records Centre and the forensics department, we want them to understand that police officers are educated and well-equipped to carry out their duties and reiterate the importance of higher education,” said Const Reggie Ramokolo.

All learners left the station with a new understanding of what goes on in the daily running of a police station, as well as certificates of participation for their dedication to the exercise.
“Even if they do not choose a career within the SAPS, I hope this exercise opened their eyes to a list of other interesting careers available out there which they can one day pursue.”
Lt Col Elite Mabitsela handed over a certificate of participation to Ompfa Sidzhie from Germiston High School at the end of the Take a Girl Child to Work Day programme at Germiston SAPS Police Station on Wednesday.
