Job Description

You'll answer alarms across a business park in Boksburg in a marked vehicle, armed and ready. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

What you'll actually do

  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over

Must-haves

  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)

What's in it for you

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