Tactical Response Officer (Night Shift)

Clients in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Roodepoort 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 Roodepoort-based, with most of your time spent at a mixed-use neighbourhood.

• Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end

• Calm under pressure and physically fit
