You'll need

Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act

Good report writing
Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
Able to handle confrontation calmly
PSIRA registration, Grade C at least

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Durban Central really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): loss prevention or investigation course certificates plus matric certificate.

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

Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
