Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Keep copies of these ready to send: matric certificate plus PSIRA certificate and ID copy.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Centurion; 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.

How to stand out

Show you know the legal limits of search and arrest. A single unlawful arrest can cost a store badly, so they will ask about it.
Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
