Armed Escort Officer

Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a business park in Pretoria East. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Pretoria East; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
• Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
• Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details

• Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
• Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook

• Danger and night allowances
• Response vehicle and firearm provided
