The Randfontein Police showcased career choices in the South African Police Service (SAPS) to learners of Grade 11 and 12 at Randfontein High School (RHS) on Monday, 7 June.
When learners complete school they want them to be in a much better position to make a career decision in accordance with their subjects and what they favour as individuals.
The Randfontein Police station commander, Brigadier Mashole Jacob Manamela says after completing their matric, learners can explore various opportunities the police service has to offer.
Watch here:
“We visited RHS simply because we wanted the senior learners to know they can have proper career choices with us and that being in the police service is not just the typical thing where you patrol and chase criminals, as popularly believed,” Manamela says.
“We have people who specialise in investigating cases and analyses. We also have those who can operate helicopters or are in the Air Wing Unit, those in the K9 Unit and even those who work with horses – this is so that people can know and understand how broad career choices in the police service can be,” Manamela says.
“No matter what your gender, everyone gets an opportunity in the police service.”
Manamela concluded by saying they would also like to take this Career Day to other local schools.
“We’d love for our children to know what options and opportunities the police can offer them,” Manamela said.
