At the time of employment, you can only be employed into the rank of a constable, sergeant, or warrant officer, after which you will have to work your way up by improving your qualification and being diligent in your duties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To be employed in the South Africa Police Service, you have to be at least 25 years or below 40 years. By the time you become 50-55 years old, you should be considering retirement. Therefore to attain a high rank before retirement, you should try to get into the SAPS early and with a good educational qualification.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>South Africa Police Service Rank is Divided Into Three<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The South Africa Police Service (SAPS) rank structure is divided into three main subdivisions for more administrative efficiency.

The two new ranks were introduced to make the police a paramilitary force and structure the police ranking to look <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defenceweb.co.za\/security\/civil-security\/police-to-revert-to-military-ranks-from-april\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more like a military ranking system<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The South African Police authorities may have had a good reason to do this, but the new ranks sparked many controversies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the controversies was that black South Africans were not so comfortable with the idea. It was similar to the SAPS rank structure used during the apartheid era in South Africa. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most South Africans saw it as a plot to put the police under the military&#8217;s control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The SAPS Ranks Structure Was Amended in 2016 To Include New\u00a0Ranks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymaverick.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thamm-GoodCOPs-1600x988.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-226072 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SAPS_5.jpg\" alt=\"SAPS Ranks Structure\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SAPS_5.jpg 700w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SAPS_5-260x186.jpg 260w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SAPS_5-696x497.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2016, the South Africa Police Service (SAPS) rank structure was amended, and two additional ranks were once again created &#8211; L<\/span>ieutenant and Major.

Those at the top of the ranking structure are paid higher, while those on the lower cadre of the SAPS ranks structure are paid lower. However, on a general scale, <\/span>South Africa&#8217;s government ensures that all police officers in South Africa are paid <a href=\"https:\/\/issafrica.org\/iss-today\/are-south-african-police-salaries-fair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">above the country&#8217;s minimum wage<\/a>. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On average, the salaries of South African police officers range from R142,997 to R354,504 per year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>South Africa Police Service Ranks and Their Salaries\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A report on the South African Police Service (SAPS) shows the average salaries received by the various categories of the SAPS as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/trending\/450157\/heres-how-much-money-police-officers-earn-in-south-africa-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Senior Management<\/b><\/a> (Commissioned Officers including General<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span>Lieutenant<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> General, <\/span>Major General, and\u00a0Brigadier<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">): R863,766 &#8211; R1,403,000\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Commissioned Officers <\/b>(Colonel,\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lieutenant Colonel, Major, Captain, and Lieutenant): R505,527 &#8211; R872,334<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/briefly.co.za\/34312-everything-saps-ranks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Non-commissioned Officers<\/b><\/a> (Warrant<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Officer,\u00a0Sergeant, and Constable): R175,000 &#8211; R407,000<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>SA Police Officers Also Receive Allowances<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a bid to encourage police officers to perform their duties without perverting the law and justice, the government tries as much as possible to see that they are financially stable.
