I saw that joke about 5 years ago

A few years ago, I can't remember if it was on the RAC or eblock watch website, someone claimed that this happened to a friend of theirs.
Before 1994 South Africa had a very strong & dedicated Police force who had to work hard for their rank.
When the ANC took over a lot of policemen did not appreciate "what they call Christmas tree decorations “walking into their police force & receiving rank & decorations as if it came out of a lucky packet.
That is when most of your best policemen left the police force & joined the private sector.
Crime started creeping into the police force & criminals started committing armed robberies with R1, R4 & R5 rifles.
I am not saying all policemen are corrupt, there are some very dedicated policemen in South Africa but they are out weighed 10 to 1.
Here is just an example of what I am talking about.

When I arrest a criminal, my work doesn’t end when I hand him over to the police I need to follow the case until he is sentenced otherwise he walks out the back door.

Does South Africa have a national police force, privincial ones or city ones?

Does South Africa have a national police force, privincial ones or city ones?

We have the South African Police Services which polices the whole country & the Metropolitan Police which police the cities. The Metro Police are actually more Peace Officers than Policemen

Robert Mc Bride was Chief of Metro Police for the East Rand.

How do you differentiate between peace officer and police officer there.

[Warren14]

How do you differentiate between peace officer and police officer there.

A Policeman deals with criminal law e.g. Murder, rape, robbery, assault, theft. Etc
Peace officer deals more with traffic offences & municipal bylaws e.g. loitering, Seizure of property or goods, Talking on a cell phone while driving, disturbing the peace, anything related to the liquor act etc.
I used to have the definition for both; I just can’t find it now.
