The South African Police Service (SAPS) has dispelled misinformation circulating on social media regarding an old advertisement to recruit 10 000 entry level police trainees. This comes after the SAPS received numerous enquiries regarding this.
The SAPS spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Amanda van Wyk said this particular application process had already closed on 31 August 2023. Van Wyk further said the first batch of 4 500 trainees for the 2024/2025 intake have already embarked with training at various SAPS academies across the country.
“The second batch of 5 500 recruits will commence with training in January 2025 and this process is yet to be finalised. Community members are encouraged to visit the SAPS’ website and other official social media platforms to stay informed of advertised posts,” she added.
