Very busy and dangerous
Sergeant (Current Employee) - Pretoria, Gauteng - 11 October 2017
As a Police Officer, one must have good communication skills with the community members and always be alert of your surroundings. Being a Police officer is not only for the money or getting a salary, it's about opening your heart to strangers, but at the same time being strict so that people don't take advantage of your good heart. Safety first.
Pros
None
Cons
Very long hours
