Excellent experience
South African Police Service ( supply chain division) is a dynamic work environment. We deal with managing the organization assets. We compile weekly and monthly reports and also national reports. I work excellent with my colleagues and tasks given are team work projects. I have learned so much, I now know how to use the provisioning administration system and also know how to compile reports. I can also do inspections. I can monitor the South African Police Service asset e.g. firearms, bulletproof ,machines,it equipment. I enjoy doing inspections and compiling the national reports. Doing inspections its a challenge because you question co-workers and supervisors.
Pros: great opportunity
Cons: working with people that are not qualified

Excellent learning curve
I enjoy working under pressure. The challenge tp fully investigate a case and present an air tight case to court which results in a successful prosecution is what drives me and excites me. I am always looking forward to new challenges. I always try to make my commanders proud through the quality of work I produce. On most days we start of with challenging, stressful tasks, but by working together as a team we somehow manage to end the day on a high note.
Pros: Self satisfaction and great challenges
Cons: Limited opportunity for promotion
