Tactical Response Officer (Night Shift)

Clients in a farming district in Khayelitsha pay for fast response, and this crew delivers it. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Khayelitsha-based, with most of your time spent at a farming district. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
• Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
• Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
