JMPD defends decision to send officers back to academy

Johannesburg Metro Police Department spokesperson Wayne Minnaar has defended the decision to send more than 1,000 newly trained offers back to the academy.

It is alleged that some of the officers cannot use weapons while others are terrified of traffic.

Minnaar said the officer’s skills need to be improved.

“There will always be a need for training, upskilling, improving on individual skills,” said Minnaar.

“There is no wrong in taking these young people back to the academy for training, I believe, it can only do them good, it can only do good for the community for them to get more training and for them to come out better improved.”

Minnaar said the officers have passed the theory part of the training and are only going back to receive training in areas they lack experience in.
