I am a team leader in my section and I always encourage my juniors to work as a team.i enjoy working with my team,we share,we support each other, we solve problems and bring new ideas to the team. We are learning a lot from each other, we respect each other irrespective of the age.

Excellent learning curve

Working for SAPS has been an excellent experience as I was fresh from Technikon without experience. Came at the right time where the police was being transformed from a force to a service. Was responsible to interpret, implement and monitor the policies including HR, finance and SCM. I grew fast within SAPS ranks or positions. I continue learning and had just graduated with an Honours Degree. Did not stop there as I'm currently studying psychology.

Pros: great opportunity comes through hard work and studying.
Cons: once a police officer you are a state property. that's why being a police officer is a calling not a career. working hours goes together with crime
