Security Officer
Security Officers have become part of almost every company in South Africa and are an important part of every aspect of business today.
They are governed by a regulation Board known as "The Security Officers’ Board" who regulate the industry and provides a grading system for security officers. Different gradings qualify security officers for different levels of responsibility
There is always an element of danger in security work so it is essential that the security officer is highly trained in this specialist area, for example:
The use of weapons
Armed response
Cash-in-transit
Retail security
Crime investigation
Dog handling
Security electronics
Body-guarding
Crown control
As security needs are highest at night, the security officer usually works night shifts.
