| DESCRIBE THE INCIDENT IN
DETAIL THAT LED YOU TO COMPLIMENT THIS PARTICULAR SAPS MEMBER. PLEASE PROVIDE INFORMATION
SUCH AS THE DATE, VENUE AND TIME THAT THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE. Mrs Meintjies responded to the advertisement in the Sunday Times on
30/01/2000 regarding the complimenting members of the SAPS that have gone an extra mile in
performing their official duties.
Mrs Meintjies continued that with all the negative
publicity that the SAPS receives, the effort of those police officers that go the extra
mile is lost in between. Mrs Meintjies believes that the SAPS personnel should
receive higher salaries for the risk that their lives are in when performing their duties.
Mrs Meintjies wishes that she could send a message to the
members of the SAPS to encourage them in their jobs. The media places too much
emphasis on the negative cases where SAPS personnel are involved. Mrs Meintjies
suggested that the media should spend more time on uplifting the morale of the SAPS. |
