Reviews about Pay & Benefits for Police Officer at South African Police Service
I'm the one of three types graduate in SAPS, but my qualifications were useless in SAPS,they don't promote us, you get qualification's bonus once
Constable (Former Employee) - Gauteng - 13 February 2020
South Africa Police Service is a good organisation but it need the following to improve:
1.Management Skills
Most management are not trained to lead.leadership must be improved.
2.It does not take education serious
SAPS have a lot of graduate that thier qualifications are not considered
e.g if you completed your qualification SAPS must increase your salary or promote you.
