Скачать или смотреть Behind the Badge: Auxiliaries

Join us as we spend a few hours with some of our dedicated Law Enforcement Auxiliary members, known as the "Specials", as they go about their duties in Cape Town.

This highly specialized unit is made up of volunteers who give their time after hours to serve their communities as Law Enforcement officers. With a passion for fighting crime and protecting their suburbs, these members are fully trained and equipped peace officers with the powers to search, seize, and arrest.

As Auxiliary officers, they are required to serve a minimum of 16 hours each month, which translates to around 43,000 hours of duty over the last 9 months. However, driven by their passion for their work, they have far exceeded this requirement, giving over 68,000 hours of service to their communities. Their efforts have led to the removal of 7 firearms and 18 imitation firearms from our streets, the recovery of stolen vehicles and property, and over 170 arrests.

We're looking to bolster this elite crime-fighting unit with an additional 150 members each year, and we're calling on interested Neighbourhood Watch members to apply online when applications open again. Don't miss this inspiring look at the Law Enforcement Auxiliary Service in action!
