Still studying to empower
Currently I am a crime prevention official that patrols and focus on specific type of crime like hijackings, business robbery,and house robbery. Attend to complaints ,accident scenes and work special events like escorting duties. I work as the supervisor and post members to their different duties inspect the on duty members sign pocket books and sign on duty and inspect off duty. Working relationship with other members is excellent because its a team work. I have leant a lot with working with my team because now I know how to work as a team as oppose to working as the manager that just instruct with out being involved. The most challenging aspect is the fact that the job is very dangerous and also to motivate the member who are not motivated due to promotion
Pros: promotion opportunities are there but no clear promotional policy
Cons: long hours

Its a challenging environment that requires impeccable concentration and high level of alertness
A typical day at work includes escorting dangerous suspects to court,trace and apprehend most wanted suspects,attend to farm attacks and hostages,escort firearms from the provincial office to ballistics office in Pretoria, gather information on CIT and robbery gangs,profile,trace and arrest them.My relationship with colleagues is that of true brothers because we work as a six men team and move always buddy buddy when approaching targets,so my life is entirely on my partners patriotism
Pros: Teaches me to trust my colleagues since my life rests squarely on my partner's shoulders when approaching targets, helps me with understanding of court proceedings and criminal law as I get to sit long hours in court, I have learned and mastered the art of information gathering,surveillance and counter surveillance
Cons: Long hours,risky working environment, insufficient danger allowance, low housing subsidy and no car subsidy

Good place to work
Nice place to work and I learned a lot of things about criminals. I was working with good colleague who helped me understand the investigation. I learn how a criminal think and act. I had a good commander who is so helpful. The most challenging aspect was when you not at work everyone concentrate on their job because cases were being reported daily.
Pros: no opportunity for promotions
Cons: good working hours
