SAPS addresses queries on new police trainee recruitment

The South African Police Service (SAPS) has responded to queries on new police trainee recruitment for 2024/2025.

This follows a number of enquiries regarding the finalisation of the 2024/2025 recruitment and selection process.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the South African Police Service said the arrival of trainees at various SAPS academies, commenced last week Monday, with 3 359 trainees currently undergoing training.

A second group of successful candidates will be notified in writing to report for training.

The SAPS also confirmed that the remaining 2 186 trainees will commence training before the end of February 2025.

“Due to the high number of trainees, the SAPS has adopted a staggered approach to accommodate their arrival at SAPS academies nationwide. The SAPS advises all applicants who have undergone the recruitment and selection process to remain patient as they await further communication,” SAPS said.

Earlier this month, SAPS said it has successfully trained and deployed over 20 000 new constables in various units across the country in the past three years, as it aiming to boost policing efforts and enhance public safety.

Providing an update on the SAPS Nationwide Safer Festive Season Operations during a media briefing in Pretoria, on Sunday, National Commissioner for the South African Police Service, General Sehlahle Fannie Masemola, highlighted in mid-December last year, 2 699 newly trained constables joined the ranks.

Masemola said the police officers joined the service during a significantly busy period for the SAPS, and contributed to the crime combatting operations aimed at ensuring the safety and security of communities, holidaymakers, and tourists alike.

“We were able to heighten police visibility and boost our crime combatting efforts at areas identified as hotspots across the country, including malls, beaches and along our country’s key strategic routes,” Masemola said.

During the festive season, the police arrested 244 951 people for various crimes, including among others, murder, rape, assault, illegal possession of firearms, drug dealing, driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and entering the country illegally.

The SAPS safer festive season operations commenced on 11 October 2024 and ended on Friday, 31 January 2025. – SAnews.gov.za
