Job Description

Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a mixed-use neighbourhood in Klerksdorp. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Klerksdorp, North West. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

What your day looks like

  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
  • Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses

Must-haves

  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts

On offer

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