He started his career in the Mounted Police, including as a member of the SA Police Royal Mounted Escort during the 1947 Royal visit to South Africa.
Much of his career was spent in the Security Branch, where he co-ordinated the Infiltration of anti-apartheid groups such as the South African Communist Party.
As a young desk officer he recruited South Africa's first secret agent, Gerard Ludi, and as Security Chief he was the mentor of Major Craig Williamson, who had great success in infiltrating the International University Fund.

Coetzee, under cross-examination by George Bizos before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, denied any involvement in several murders and other atrocities committed by the apartheid National Party government.
He was Commissioner of the South African Police from 1983 to 1987.
On 1983-06-01 he was made Commissioner of the South African Police; he was also a member of the State Security Council.
While he was Commissioner, the South African Railway Police merged with the SA Police, a full-fledged Forensics branch was established and the SAP got a helicopter fleet.
""After the revolution, he will be my garden boy""
Braam Fischer, the brilliant advocate who turned underground leader of the Communist Party, was ultimately unmasked by Coetzee, and arrested through the efforts of one of his agents, Gerad Ludi.
Brigadiers Roelf van Rensburg and Kalfie Broodryk were the arresting Officers.
