SAPS Warns Public About Fake Police Trainee Recruitment Posts!
The South African Police Service (SAPS) has issued a crucial warning to the public regarding a deceptive post circulating on social media. This post falsely claims that online applications for police trainee positions are currently open. Don't be fooled!
According to the SAPS, there is NO active recruitment drive for police trainees at this time. The official SAPS online application portal is also currently unavailable. Falling for these scams can lead to identity theft and other serious issues.
Warrant Officer Grant Giblin of the Benoni Flying Squad emphasizes that these online applications have not been officially advertised. He urges social media users to refrain from sharing the misleading post and to rely only on official sources for accurate information.
How to Stay Safe and Informed:
- Visit the Official SAPS Website: The most reliable source for verified vacancies and updates is the official SAPS website: www.saps.gov.za.
- Check Official Social Media Pages: Follow the SAPS's official social media channels for up-to-date information.
- Report Suspicious Activity: If you encounter any suspicious recruitment posts or activities, report them immediately.
The SAPS encourages all job seekers to be vigilant and to verify any job opportunities through official channels. Don't let scammers take advantage of your desire to serve your country. Stay informed, stay safe, and always double-check before sharing or applying for any position.
Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Protect yourself from fraud and misinformation by relying on official SAPS communication channels.
