Armed Patrol Driver (Suburban Area)

You'll answer alarms across a farming district in Durban Central in a marked vehicle, armed and ready. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Durban Central; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
• Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
• Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
• Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
• Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates

• Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
• At least 2 years in guarding or response
• Calm under pressure and physically fit
• Clean criminal record and no pending cases
• SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)

• First-aid Level 2 or 3
• Knowledge of the local streets and sectors

• Response vehicle and firearm provided
• Group life cover through the provident fund
• Danger and night allowances
• Regular refresher shooting practice

• Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
• Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
