  • Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
  • Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
  • Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
  • Share trends with the store manager each week

You'll need

  • Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least

Extra points for

  • Previous store detective experience with case outcomes

How to apply for this job

  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): PSIRA certificate and ID copy plus matric certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
