LIEUTENANT Colonel Trevor Appel has taken over the reins as the Station Commander from his predecessor, Lt Col Flip de Jager who went on retirement in January 2021.
Lt Col Appel, who has officially been appointed on 6 May 2021, is a career driven officer and has more than 34 years of experience in the police.
He is not a novice in the post of a station commander and his previous experience at SAPS Addo, Kamesh and KwaNobuhle holds him in good stead to lead his members in providing excellent service to the community of Despatch.
