JMPD recruiting 1500 officers: Creating jobs while curbing crime

03 May 2017 in Where We Govern

The Joburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) is searching for 1500 men and women to undergo training. On successful completion of the training course, they will stand a chance to become metro police officers of the City.

 

I am searching for men and women who have the highest sense of justice and integrity to join JMPD to serve and protect the residents of Joburg.

 

This recruitment is the Department of Public Safety’s first step under the new administration to not only enhance visible policing, but to also create jobs for men and women who might either be without employment, or who are searching for a meaningful way to contribute to society.

 

With an additional 1500 officers deployed in the city, we are certain that visible policing will be more tangible and effective in curbing crime.

 

Applicant must be:

  • a South African citizen residing in the jurisdiction of Johannesburg,
  • between the age of 18 to 35 years old,
  • in possession of a valid Senior Certificate (Grade 12 or NQF level 4 equivalent),
  • proficient in English,
  • in possession of a valid code B manual transmission driver’s licence,
  • physically and mentally fit and be able to subject oneself to successfully complete a pre-training fitness test,
  • cleared of and have no criminal record and/or civil judgment relating to fraud and/or corruption, and
  • prepared to carry a firearm and perform duties in uniform.

 

We look forward to the brave men and women in the City answering this call of honour and becoming a member of the elite law enforcement of the City.
