Police Clear simplifies the journey to a record-free life
Let’s face it, finding a job in South Africa (and overseas) is extremely difficult, and it becomes almost impossible to do so if you have a criminal record, it can even affect your international travel plans, and the ability to coach your kid’s rugby team.
If you’ve been convicted of a criminal offense, you will usually have an accompanying criminal record. One can obtain a criminal record for drunk driving, reckless driving, and endangerment, shoplifting, or even something as simple as saying something that could be seen as defamation of character.
This can cause a variety of problems, many of which can rear their head at unfortunate times.
