Praise for Sandton SAPS Top Performers
GIVING praise and recognition for hard work and dedication is the purpose of the top cop awards that are held each quarter. The top cop awards is an initiative by the Sandton Community Police Forum (CPF) and the Sandton Police with the aim of encouraging police officers to achieve and rewarding those that do. Noticeable improvements in response times have been partly attributed to these awards.
Prizes were sponsored by Macro Woodmead to the value of R1000 for each winner of the top four awards. For the 37 members of the top shift (Charlie relief) gift vouchers to the value of R100 were given to each member and sponsored jointly by the CPF and the Community Action Company.
The top cop was Constable M.J. Mahori and for visible policing and community involvement, Constable Lungi Mbatha was named the winner. Senior admin clerk Petunia Mashatile won the support category for her dedication in administrative duties.
In the detective category the prize was shared between a team of eight which included three reservists for their hard in bringing Sandton's most notorious fugitive, Shepard Moyo, to justice.
