IOL reports that the SA Police Service (SAPS) is calling on all former police officers to re-enlist for its detective services. It is looking to re-enlist 400 former members who had rankings of Constable, Sergeant, or Warrant Officer.
The applicable advertisement reads: “The posts contained in this advertisement are earmarked for the capacitation of the detective environment, and successful candidates will be re-enlisted in the ranks they previously held (Constable, Sergeant, and Warrant Officer only) in the South African Police Service. All successful former members will be placed in Detective Services, irrespective of the environment that he/she served previously in the South African Police Service.” The criteria for former members include not being older than 55 years as at the closing date of 24 July, having a good disciplinary and attendance record, having a Code 8 driver’s license, proficiency in at least two languages (English mandatory), willingness to undergo psychological assessment and a medical examination, as well as being cleared to possess a firearm. Successful candidates will be required to undergo a refresher course or any other training as determined by the National Police Commissioner. Candidates who do not have experience or formal detective training will be subjected to three months training immediately once appointed.
