Police officers have in the past come under scrutiny for not being in the best shape to tackle South Africa's criminals.
However, now the South African Police Service has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Virgin Active and Planet Fitness to keep their officers fit.
National police commissioner Gen Fannie Masemola signed the MOU on Wednesday, saying it is designed to “benefit police officers to access and use facilities at the gym clubs at a discounted fee to encourage employees to remain physically fit and healthy”.
