According to Col. Brenda Muridili, the South African Police Service (SAPS) is losing members due to some reasons like retirement. The Human Resource Department has come up with a new form of recruitment that involves the re-enlisting of trained and skilled former police officers, who left the service honourably on the ranks of constable, sergeant and warrant officer. This would enable the organization to fulfill its constitutional mandate of fighting crimes and safeguarding lives and properties.


Successful candidates will be posted to departments where there is shortage of hands including specialised units such as Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences, Public Order Police as well as newly established units such as the Taxi Violence Unit, Cold Case Investigation and the Murder and Robbery Unit.

SAPS therefore calls on former police officers who left with a clean record and had been appointed as members in the organisation in terms of South African Police Service Act 68 of 1995, serving on the rank of Constable, Sergeant or Warrant Officer and appeals to them to be a part of this exercise.
