In saps Junior levels, any gap you are told to fill for free.eg I'm 3 years you can rotate at logistics, HRM, Store room, Finance, Secretary, fleet, switchboard and back to charge office.

Good knowledge acquired.
I patrol and attended community complaints, reveive dockets to investigate. Interview complainants, obtain witness statements, arrest suspects and send them to court. I work in a specialised unit as a team of eight members while executing my duties of safety and security.i have a good relationship with my co-workers and the community. I enjoy bringing justice to people who are victimised and helping those who do not understand their constitutional rights. My job has tought me how to relate with the people, understanding didferent charectors and mostly knowledge to Law and problem solving.. The most challenging aspects are the lack of resources and community reluctant to provide information due to gear of being attacked by the perpetrators.
Pros: Being exposed to Different types o challenges because of didferent complaints received. Gain knowledge from problems solved during a specific case.
Cons: After hour duties without compensation. Promotions taking very long time.

Good stable career if you have a passion for it.
One must be mentally strong and able to deal with a lot of pressure from both internal and external forces. The straight and narrow is the only path to take even though there are a lot of temptation and sometimes very blurry lines but, if you play it buy the book you can keep yourself and others out of trouble and out of harms way. Passion can't buy bread or milk but it is a Pre-requisite!
Pros: life-long career and lots of diversity and experiences to be had
Cons: Politics, rank structure and slow growth
