Reservists

TRAINING

Reservists attend Introduction, Orientation and Basic Training for South African Police Service members during periods as determined. Training is presented over a period of between three to six month depending on the category of appointment, including the practical phase which is usually presented by means of in-service training.

During the training period reservists work in the Community Service Centre as part of their in-service training. At the end of the training period reservists will be posted to vehicles or conduct patrols within their specific community, or other duties as determined by the commander.

Firearm training is included in the training programme and no reservists will be allowed to perform functions with a firearm if this module was not successfully completed.

Additional training such as training in Domestic Violence, Victim Support, Sector Policing, Tactical Policing, etc could also be presented, depending on the area of utilization.
