Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a suburban residential area in Richards Bay. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

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

  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over

What you need

  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
  • Calm under pressure and physically fit

Helpful, not essential

  • Advanced driving course

On offer

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