If they need officers they should just give everyone who applies a gun and hat and get em out there!
Sorry j/k, just venting my frustration, hehe.
Don't vent, prepare yourself better. The issue with police from the UK is that there is a shortage of police in SA at the moment and those people are experienced police officers who will be able to perform competently as a police officer very shortly after they finish their course. Most recruits without previous police experience take a couple of years before they're competent so this is a bit of lateral thinking to fast track mucn needed personnel.
Understand that this isn't an either-or, normal recruiting is still happening so fix the gaps and apply again and good luck in your efforts.
