Armed Escort Officer

Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a business park in Bellville. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is in Bellville (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook

• Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
• Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
