Hi All,

I am aware that a number of members are keen to join and become a Police Reservist. Given this, I thought it appropriate to re-post a notification which I have just received from our local city councillor, which relates to certain reservist positions becoming available at the Brooklyn, Pretoria, SAPS (see details below).

Best of luck to anybody applying... and please do let us know (a) why you decided to apply; (b) what the actual process entailed; (c) how you get on in the process; and (d) whether or not you were successful (plus kindly provide some details on your background and experience with FA's and in related areas (like involvement in your local CPF etc)).

Kind regards,
Tayls
