Reservists
Reservists have similar powers as permanent police officials
while they perform their duties as reservists.
A person who previously served as a reservist in the South
African Police Service may be re-enlisted, provided that he or
she still meets the requirements. However, it will be required
that you undergo a refresher course, if necessary.
A former reservist whose application for re-enlistment has
been approved, may be appointed in the rank he or she held at
the time he or she left the SAPS. The final decision about the
rank to which he or she will be re-enlisted, remains with the
relevant provincial or divisional commissioner.
You will be appointed as a constable. Promotion to a higher
rank is subject to the provisions or any other conditions, or
exceptions, that the National Commissioner may determine. A
reservist ,may, however, not hold a rank above hat of the
commander under whose command he or she is serving.
