Northern Cape police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col Sergio Kock said, the South African Police Service(SAPS) is embarking on the 2024/2025 recruitment drive, in which they envisage employing an additional 10 000 youth between the ages of 18 and 35, who will be trained to protect and serve the country as men and women in blue.

“The SAPS are looking for patriotic citizens, who are willing to proudly pursue a career as entry Police Trainees for the enlistment in the Basic Police Development Programme(BPDLP). It must also be noted that the age limit for recruitment of new trainees has been raised to 35.

The basic requirements are the applicant should be a South African citizen, and be 18 and under 35 years old. Be in possession of a matric certificate and have no criminal record. The applicant should submit to a medical examination and be physically and mentally fit,” said Kock.

He further said the applicant will also undergo a psychological assessment that complies with the profile of a police official. Kock added that, the applicant should be prepared to successfully complete police training.

“The applicant should not have tattoo marks, which are visible when wearing any uniform of the Service. Having a valid driving license for a motor vehicle will be to your advantage. Be prepared to serve anywhere in the Republic of South Africa.

“In the South African Police Service, there are over 200 career paths in our Visible Policing, Crime Investigation and Support environments. The benefits after successful completion of the BPDLP include a 13^th cheque (Bonus), leave benefits, service allowance, night shift and holiday allowances (shift workers), bursary (available internally), and once-off cash payments (acquired improved qualification),” he said.

Kock said there is also a once-off cash payment and long service medal awards (recognition of long service for 20, 30, and 40 years). He said application forms can be obtained free of charge at any Police Station/SAPS Recruitment office or downloaded from the SAPS website(https://www.saps.gov.za).

“Application must be hand-delivered to your local police station during office hours on or before the closing date of 31 August 2023. The SAPS management is embarking on this recruitment drive to ensure more boots on the ground in an effort to maximize our crime-fighting efforts and wishes all applicants well in this process,” said Kock.
