How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around White River; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
