Missing persons specialist Rams Ramphul retires from SAPS
He has come to the end of a long and distinguished career.
AFTER 36 years of loyal service, Warrant Officer Rams Ramphul has called it quits.
W/O Ramphul reported for duty for the last time last Friday and is looking forward to his retirement.
“Being a committed policeman his entire career and working long hours to find missing persons is what has made him so good at his job,” said police spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Zandra Wiid.
W/O Ramphul began his career with the police on May 1, 1981, as a student in Durban. After he had completed his training, he was stationed at Port Shepstone, where he spent many years working in the Crime Prevention section.

He took part in many roadblocks, crime prevention operations, and stop and search duties, but his main task was to look for missing persons.
“This is not an easy task as family expect the police to find their loved ones ASAP. He excelled in this as he would not rest until he had followed up every single lead and piece of information to trace the missing person, sometimes until late into the night,” said Lt-Col Wiid.
He now looks forward to enjoying a more relaxing time with his wife, two daughters and son. Officers from Port Shepstone SAPS wish him a well-deserved rest.
