Sy aanstelling as studentekonstabel in die destydse Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiemag (SAP) sal altyd iets baie spesiaals wees. <\/p>\n

Daardie dag sal hy altyd onthou en koester so lank hy leef. Eintlik beskou hy daardie gebeurtenis, sowat 36 jaar gelede, as \u2019n vroe\u00eb hoogtepunt in sy lewe.<\/p>\n

S\u00f3 vertel lt.kol. Jaques le Roux (55), tans bevelvoerder van die speurtak op Montagu, wat vandeesmaand van kaptein tot luitenant-kolonel bevorder is. <\/p>\n

Die rede waarom Le Roux byna nostalgies raak oor die dag van sy aanstelling, is omdat sy eie pa, die ontslape oud-adjudantoffisier Gabri\u00ebl Johannes le Roux, hom self op 1 Januarie 1986 in Bellville as \u2019n polisiebeampte ingesweer het. <\/p>\n

\u201cDit was \u2019n besonderse geleentheid vir my, sowel as vir my pa \u2013 veral vir my pa. Dit was \u2019n groot en \u2019n trotse oomblik in sy lewe.<\/p>\n

\u201cKan jy dink hoe trots sou hy vandag gewees het?\u201d vra Le Roux met \u2019n bre\u00eb glimlag en veraf kyk in die o\u00eb.<\/p>\n

Le Roux het sy basiese polisie-opleiding by die polisiekollege in Pretoria ondergaan en daarna, van Junie 1986 af, in Brackenfell as \u2019n skoflid gewerk.<\/p>\n

Van 1987 tot 1989 is hy na die destydse Suidwes-Afrika (Namibi\u00eb) waar hy twee jaar lank grensdiens verrig het.<\/p>\n

N\u00e1 sy grensdiens is hy terug Brackenfell toe vir \u2019n ruk, maar in 1990 is hy na Bonnievale verplaas.<\/p>\n

Hoewel hy die werk as lid van die uniformtak baie geniet het, het speurwerk hom altyd ge\u00efnteresseer, vertel Le Roux.<\/p>\n

Dit is daarom nie vreemd dat hy in 1991 na Bonnievale se uniform-ondersoektak geskuif en daar begin werk het nie. Dit was basies die begin van sy loopbaan as speurder.<\/p>\n

\n
Ek besef ek verruil die rustige plattelandse lewe vir die vinniger Kaapse lewe. En ek is deeglik bewus dat daar nuwe uitdagings oor my pad gaan kom<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Le Roux het in 1996 sy ondersoekvaardighede verder verskerp en \u2019n ses weke lange speurderskursus aan die Bishop Lavis-polisieakademie voltooi. Hy het uitstaande werk in die kursus gelewer en aan die einde daarvan met die louere as beste student weggestap. <\/p>\n

Di\u00e9 passievolle speurder se harde werk is ook deur sy seniors raakgesien en hy is later as takbevelvoerder van die speurtak by die Bonnievale-polisie aangestel.<\/p>\n

Hy is op 1 Maart 2009 tot kaptein bevorder en is daarna as die bevelvoerder van die misdaadkantoor by die Robertson-speurtak aangestel.<\/p>\n

Le Roux het van 2012 tot 2017 diens as sub-seksiebevelvoerder van ernstige en geweldsmisdaad by die speurtak op Robertson gedoen.<\/p>\n

Hy is in 2017 tot bevelvoerder van die Montagu-speurtak bevorder \u2013 \u2019n pos wat hy tot einde vandeesmaand met trots beklee. <\/p>\n

Di\u00e9 ervare en toegewyde polisieman het in sy lang polisieloopbaan van 36 jaar verdere kursusse suksesvol voltooi, waaronder as ondersoeker van seksuele misdrywe; die speurderbevelvoerder-leerprogram; en die junior bestuurder-leerprogram (ook hier was hy die beste student), om slegs \u2019n paar te noem.<\/p>\n

Met sy huidige bevordering tot luitenant-kolonel word Le Roux verplaas na die Lentegeur-speurtak in Mitchell\u2019s Plain, waar hy van 1 Februarie af die nuwe speurtakbevelvoerder sal wees.<\/p>\n

\u201cEk besef ek verruil die rustige plattelandse lewe vir die vinniger Kaapse lewe. En ek is deeglik bewus dat daar nuwe uitdagings oor my pad gaan kom. <\/p>\n

\u201cMaar ek dink ook, namate die tyd aangestap het, is ek goed geslyp vir die taak wat voorl\u00ea,\u201d sluit die speurder met meer as drie dekades ondersoek-ervaring agter die blad, betekenisvol af.<\/p>\n

Dit was \u2019n besonderse geleentheid vir my sowel as my pa \u2013 veral vir my pa. Kan jy dink hoe trots sou hy vandag gewees het?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
