Exciting and learning curve everyday.

i work for SAPS under the Hawks division in the management information and strategic planing component where by i deal with compiling/consolidating the performance reports and taking minutes in all management meetings and also to support members with technology systems. As part of the management i have learned to be more professional specially when communicating with my co-workers and stakeholders. sometimes it becomes a challenge to tell someone on a higher rank than me that the information submitted is incorrect but i really enjoy working with the bossess because all my hard work is seen and acknowledged.

Pros: greater opportunities for promotions
Cons: cautiousness

Exploring new challenges

My job gives a big room to expand your ability to resolve matters. It creates a space to have a good interpersonal relationship with other stakeholders. Though it has its challenges but I ensure that i always keep myself afloat. Investigation needs a lot of patience and open minded person to easily follow every lead and leave no stone unturned.

Pros: it creates a room for tolerance and to think out the box
Cons: I have to put extra efforts in order to achieve by working extra hours

I investigate criminal cases. Collect evidence send them to different SAPS aiders. If suspect found at the scene of crime will be arrested taken to court , bail will be opposed if necessary. Witness statement obtained. Usually we are paired in a car. And we work comfortably together as a pair. I learned patience and I loved field work.
