On Sunday, national police spokesperson Brig Athlenda Mathe said the newly recruited officers successfully completed the nine-month Basic Police Development Learning Programme (BPLDP).
“Final preparations are under way at various SAPS academies to host the passing out parade for 10,000 newly trained police officers this week. These fully fledged constables have successfully undergone and completed the Basic Police Learning Development Programme,’’ said Mathe.
The BPLDP is a combination of theory and practice that prepares police officers for executing their constitutional mandate of preventing, combating and investigating crime, protecting the inhabitants of the country and their property, and upholding and enforcing the law. Mathe said 495 of the 10,000 trainees consist of graduates of courses in law, criminology, policing and forensic investigation who have already been deployed to various police stations after completing their training in September.
She said 4,000 of the newly trained officers will be deployed to the public order police unit in a bid to bolster the police force’s efforts in responding to crowd control measures, especially during violent protests and other opportunistic crime.
