Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates

Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs

Must-haves

Clean criminal record and no pending cases
Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
At least 2 years in guarding or response

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.

Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
