Armed Patrol Driver (Suburban Area)

Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a farming district in Isando. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is Isando-based, with most of your time spent at a farming district.

• Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
• Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
• Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
• Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
• Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates

• SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
• Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
• Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
• Calm under pressure and physically fit

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

• Group life cover through the provident fund
