  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room

How to apply

  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: firearm competency certificate, PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response plus service record or reference letter from past security work.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.
