“We need dedicated, motivated and energetic young people, who want to make a difference to the crime situation in the country, and who will lead by example,” Beukman said.
In the statement, Beukman said the committee fully supports the strict vetting criteria and psychometric testing used by SAPS to establish if applicants are suitable for the job. Aspiring police members must have no links to criminality and fit the profile of a career law-enforcement officer. –
Application forms for the 2019 SAPS recruitment drive can be found at your nearest police station or online at www.saps.gov.za.
