Can you help?[edit]

We need some modern day images of the SAPOL uniform and vehicles that have been implemented into SAPOL in the last 3 years. If you have any that you've taken yourself, please upload them to the commons.wikimedia.org. We can add them to the page from there. Ethan Vixen (talk) 08:01, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

History needs updating[edit]

The History section needs more information. Help if you can. Ethan Vixen (talk) 08:01, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Moved[edit]

SAPOL has moved. Therefore, I will be changing the address in the info box on the right hand side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.43.227.18 (talk) 18:05, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page is rather messy[edit]

The page could use a tidy up, some images seem unnecessary, list of commissioners might be better served on a seperate article, some information seem out dated of incorrectly sourced. SNITZ01 (talk) 06:22, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't check the sourcing, but moved the list to the end of the article, as is usual practice for article layout for lists and long tables. (I think there's a guideline about this somewhere but don't remember the shortcut.) Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:39, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Protective Security Officers[edit]

There is little to no information on this article about PSOs. PSOs played a significant role in SAPOLs COVID-19 response. SNITZ01 (talk) 07:32, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Added a section on PSOs, now known as Police Security Officers. Additional information such as ranks etc would be great if anyone can find a source. SNITZ01 (talk) 01:22, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

More notable incidents[edit]

This page is missing a numbr of notable incidents SNITZ01 (talk) 01:25, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you are aware of notable incidents with significant media coverage (which concern SAPOL or its officers, not just random crimes), feel free to add them! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:42, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have been ;) but there may be others I'm not remembering. SNITZ01 (talk) 07:41, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Guide for notable incidents[edit]

I've noticed some indcidents that are being added to the notable incidents section that don't meet WP:NPOV guidelines. Additionally, when adding to the section, please also only add incidents that have recieved significant coverage WP:NOTTEMPORARY. SNITZ01 (talk) 01:18, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SAPOL Service Medal[edit]

This is only presented to sworn employees (current and former). As from 2 August 2008 Protective Security Officers employed under the South Australia Protective Security Act 2007 also became eligible for the SAPOL Service Medal and Clasps - as per the Commissioner’s determination dated 29 February 2019.

Not to unsworn members as indicted in the article 14.2.18.120 (talk) 00:01, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a reference that meets the WP:VER policy, you should make the changes with that reference.

As a side note, the South Australia Protective Security Act 2007 is no longer in force, the police act was updated to include PSOs. SNITZ01 (talk) 03:30, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
