so I finished my career in patrol I started in patrol and that for me is big thing is a big part of my policing career yours is different because you started in a specialized unit and you made I'm gonna say your stripes in each unit as you went along so you went to the next unit which was called the reaction force reaction unit yeah and tell us what you did there what was your responsibility there

So our responsibility was basically following around the specialized units, which were like your robbery homicide.

We call it murder and robbery in South Africa, vehicle theft unit and the security branch, which were the guys who were tracked down, terrorists and anyone who threatened the security of the country at the time.

Any kind of branch who had like very highly dangerous criminals.

And we like kind of like your SWAT unit, but a little bit more militarized.

So that was what we did.

So we would be house-clearing, house-clearing, house-clearing every single night, kicking doors, clearing houses, arresting, and so on.

You know what? I was one of those.
