Comments…
“I thank the Police Association for its dedication, support and guidance. I am appreciative of the improved pay and conditions that were hard fought over many years by the executive, delegates and members.
“It was with regret that I could not hold my farewell due to COVID-19 restrictions, but I am grateful to all my friends and colleagues who provided best wishes and a wonderful gift.
“Being in SAPOL for over 41 years provided me with many experiences and taught me a great many life lessons.
“I was aware from an early age that SAPOL owed me nothing, but it gave me opportunities and experiences that many within the community would never face or get to see.
“I learnt resilience, standing up for oneself and backing my decisions. The camaraderie, trust, caring and great friendships are what make SAPOL successful.
“To everyone who helped me, I am forever grateful. It has been a great journey and I wish all members a very long and safe career. ”

“Thanks to Mark Carroll and his team and predecessors who have worked and fought so hard to get the great working conditions and remuneration that we currently enjoy.
“From personal experience, I know there are many other government service providers who wish they too had the strong union support that we are so lucky to have.
“Thirty-five years of country postings has been an incredible experience. I have seen a lot of change, mostly for the good, and met some incredible people and characters along my journeys north, south, east and west in this great state of ours.
“To my colleagues across the many areas in which I have served: thanks for the friendships, help and support, which the small stations especially need on occasion.
“My 35 years was a great experience. Thanks to all for the memories and good times and, most of all, thanks to the association for the support that you give us all. ”

Comments…
“I thank all present and past Police Association members for all their hard work and commitment toward improving the working conditions of members and their commitment to the safety and well-being of members.
“As a female officer who joined SAPOL as a cadet in 1981, I can certainly attest to the improved working conditions for all serving members.
“I have absolutely loved my career and never thought I would leave SAPOL. But I have been lucky enough to have won a position as the manager of the investigation unit for the Education Department.
“I am now going to leave policing to my daughter and her peers. I have always been proud to be a police officer and a detective and it was the proudest day of my life to see her graduate from the academy almost two years ago.
“I have met the most amazing people and have had some amazing mentors. I hope that I, in turn, have been able to give back and positively help and mentor someone else.
“To all past and present members: thank you for your service. The world is truly a safer place for your presence. ”
