I am inactive due to my examinations, but I can manage to join you guys at the weekend, mostly on Saturday. However, it's up to the head command to decide a perfect date, I'll try my level best to join the meeting at the date which is decided.

Thank you,
Regards,
Senior Officer - KelviNC.

Questions people had asked will be left out as they were mainly aimed at recruitment and SAPD training matters.  Though one interesting one was asked.

"how do we know people close to mike won't get special treatment?"
- Simply put, Mike isn't like that.  You don't have to take my word, though it's true Mike isn't one to single out friends above other.


Current Status Of SAPD:
As of RS5, SAPD has been in a slow decline of activity compared to what we showed during RS4.  We've had many resignations at the end of 2013, a few command staff members had moved on to further studies as-well as some of our Senior Officers having little time to contribute to SAPD anymore.  Recently we have removed inactive staff members who failed to respond to activity calls via Private Message from our Sergeants.  With that any Probationary Officers we had will move up to the rank of Senior Officer, a select couple have been brought in to take on the role also as they are seen fit enough to carry our the work at hand.  Over time SAPD will regain it's status of being a elite Police Force, this can only be achieved by the help of YOU, you guys make the difference everyone is apart of SAPD and your voice won't be ignored as it has in the past I will guarantee you that.

Recruitment:
Chief Mike has been working on a new system for our Recruitment as the one we have is now obsolete.  We hope to roll it out very soon so those eager to join SAPD and further up the rank ladder can do so.  Along with that, training for Probationary Officers has under-gone a change, we are aiming for a more life-like way to thing's.  Probationary Officers will be taken on ride-alongs by Senior Officers (who are FTO's) they will assess how you do during the course of the patrol/day they are with you.  Afterwards a recommendation will be posted on your file, where you can read it and take note of what it is you need to work on and what not.  If you receive three good recommendations you will then be able to sit a final exam given by a Staff/Training Sergeant. 

Divisions:
SAPD from this moment on has three divisions operating Officially.  S.W.A.T, Air Division and Special Investigations recently we merged the Gang and Narcotics unit into ASID as we don't wish to waste more resources as we are limited as of this time.  Joining a division is limited to Senior Officer's you can show interest to each one by submitting a letter of interest from the top navigation bar on the Forum, alternatively you get invited.
