In the video, the female officer claims the motorist verbally abused her while attempting to intimidate her.
“He called me ‘stupid’. I told him that I am also an officer and I hadn’t even seen his uniform, but he was insulting me as he was trying to drive away,” the female officer can be heard saying in the viral clip.
In a statement published on Friday, May 8, the NPS condemned the harassment, emphasising that such behaviour is unlawful.
“The National Police Service condemns this behaviour in the strongest possible terms,” the statement read.
“Such conduct is not only unlawful but also directly contradicts the core values of professionalism, discipline, respect, and integrity for which the NPS stands.”
