Media Statement In less than 24 hours the recruitment application process to join the South African Police Service (SAPS) Basic Police Development Learning Programme (BPLDP) will be closed. This means, the submission window will close, and applicants will no longer be able to submit their applications. As of Thursday, 17 July 2025, the SAPS has received more than 927 000 applications thus far. Female applicants continue to lead in terms of numbers, with 527 673 young women having submitted their applications thus far. Male applicants are standing at 400 204 applications thus far. The Gauteng province has brought in the most applications with more than 240 00, followed by KZN with more than 179 000. Limpopo is sitting at more than 102 000, with Eastern Cape more than 93 000 and Mpumalanga at more than 89 000.

The SAPS wishes all applicants the best in this process. It should be noted that not everyone will make it to the selection process due to limited space availability on the training program with only 5500 spaces available. Those who are successful will be called to go through various assessments including a psychometric and integrity assessment, physical assessment, medical assessment and an interview. Ends
