The group, who were passed out at a ceremony late last year following 18 months of training, has since been sent back to the Metropolitan Police Academy to rectify their shortcomings.
“I can confirm that they are back at training at the moment to rectify some of the qualities they lack,” said Johannesburg Metro Police Department spokesperson Wayne Minnaar, who added that academy officials would determine the length of the training programme this time.
The officers were recruited in 2018 and underwent an 18-month training programme at the academy. The Road Traffic Management Control determines the programme’s standards and assesses the trainees, with the help of the SAPS. “This will put the competency of the training academy under the spotlight. I do not know of any shortcomings that were discovered at a later stage. I was not informed about those issues so I wouldn’t know where they came from, or what caused them. This is news to me. If we are saying all the trainees must return to the academy, then it doesn’t make sense to me,” said Sun.
“Truth of the matter is that we found a lot of gaps in the evidence portfolio that we received from the academy, and unfortunately we couldn’t approve of such.”
