REPLY:
(1) Yes.
(a) There are currently 46 524 Inspectors in the Service of which
22Â 534 Inspectors have more than 10 years service in the rank of
Inspector.
(b) The promotion from Inspector to Captain is informed by the
availability of vacant posts and funds. Vacant posts are
periodically advertised both internally through promotion
processes and externally for which qualifying Inspectors may
apply for. Due to the limited number of vacant posts and funds
available, it is unfortunately not possible to promote all
Inspectors who qualify for promotion. In addition to the
filling of Captain(s posts, the South African Police Service has
established a process in terms of which Inspectors can progress
to a higher salary band whilst remaining in their current posts
and ranks.
(2) Yes. The information required in (a) and (b) is presented for the
past three financial years as follows:
