Job Description

Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a business park in Centurion. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Centurion; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

The work, day to day

  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end

What you need

  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
  • Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
  • Calm under pressure and physically fit

Nice if you have

  • Knowledge of the local streets and sectors
  • Advanced driving course
  • First-aid Level 2 or 3

On offer

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