Media Statement PRETORIA - The South African Police Service (SAPS) process to select 5 500 police trainees is still underway, with thousands of applicants still undergoing the first step which is the psychometric and integrity testing assessments. This process is being undertaken in all nine provinces. The multi-phase selection process also entails a physical fitness evaluation, vetting, and a medical examination to ensure that only the most suitable candidates are enlisted. It should be noted, while all young people who meet the basic requirements were invited to apply, preference will be given to those who are in possession of a tertiary qualification on the level of NQF 6 and higher as well as those who are in possession of a driver’s licence. On closing date, 18 July 2025, the SAPS received over a million applications of which 334 765 are graduates who hold qualifications in policing, law, forensic investigation, and other fields of study. The SAPS advises all applicants who have applied to remain patient as recruitment teams will communicate with suitable applicants. Training is expected to commence in 2026, with the exact date to be confirmed in due course. Ends
