Great place to get experience for future positions at other law enforcement agencies
Lieutenant Colonel (Former Employee) - Serious Commercial Crime Investigation - 8 February 2021
SAPS is a great employer. Good medical aid benefits & Pension fund benefits. Individual vision must be in line with SAPS vision otherwise it will not be a nice place for you.
Pros
You get bursaries for self empowerment.
Cons
You get too attached to the SAPS
