26 August 2016: The South African Police Service (SAPS) wishes to alert the public of the existence of bogus advertisements purporting to be from the SAPS recruiting interested persons to apply for police traineeship for 2017 and other vacancies within the police on a website http://www.jobfeed.co.za/police-development-learning-programme/ using the SAPS logo.
As it is the norm, the SAPS wishes to state that advertisements for any posts within its structures are, if and when they become available, placed in a range of newspapers in the country to reach as many potential and suitable candidates as possible. The public should also bear in mind that they can view existing vacancies and obtain the official application forms from the official website of the SAPS www.saps.gov.za. Only the information that is on this website can be regarded as authentic.
The SAPS confirm that there are currently no posts for police trainees and that these advertisements form part of a scam aimed at misleading the public and should be ignored.
Members of the public are urged and advised to be vigilant and not to be misled by any false advertisements or advertising scams and to report these activities to the police.
