GUARDING:
COMPLEXES | RESIDENTIAL | INDUSTRIAL | COMMERCIAL
- Armed / Unarmed
- Our security guards (also known as a security officer, or protective agent) are employed to protect the employing party’s assets (property, people, equipment, money, etc.) from a variety of hazards (such as waste, damaged property, unsafe worker behavior, criminal activity such as theft, etc.) by enforcing preventative measures. Our security guards do this by maintaining a high-visibility presence to deter illegal and inappropriate actions, looking (either directly, through patrols, or indirectly, by monitoring alarm systems or video surveillance cameras) for signs of crime or other hazards (such as a fire), taking action to minimize damage (such as warning and escorting trespassers off property), and reporting any incidents to our clients and emergency services (such as the police or paramedics), as appropriate.
- Security officers are generally uniformed to represent their lawful authority to protect private property. Security guards are generally governed by legal regulations, which set out the requirements for eligibility (e.g., a criminal record check) and the permitted authorities of a security guard in a given jurisdiction. The authorities permitted to security guards vary by country and subnational jurisdiction. Security officers are hired by a range of organizations, including businesses, government departments and agencies and not-for-profit organizations (e.g., churches and charitable organizations).Until the 1980s, the term watchman was more commonly applied to this function, a usage dating back to at least the Middle Ages in Europe where there was no form of law enforcement (other than it being a private matter). This term was carried over to North America where it was interchangeable with night-watchman (e.g., security guard) until both terms were replaced with the modern security-based titles. Security officers are sometimes regarded as fulfilling a private policing function.
- Bodyguards
- A bodyguard (or close protection officer/operative) is a type of security guard who protects a person or a group of people — usually high-ranking public officials or officers, wealthy people, and celebrities — from danger: generally, theft, assault, kidnapping, assassination, harassment, loss of confidential information, threats, or other criminal offences.
- The personnel team that protects a VIP is often referred to as the VIP’s security detail. Most important public figures, such as heads of state, heads of government, and governors are protected by several bodyguards or by a team of bodyguards from a government agency, security forces, or police forces. Less-important public figures, or those with lower risk profiles, may be accompanied by a single bodyguard who doubles as a driver. Several high-profile celebrities and CEOs also use bodyguards. In some countries or regions, wealthy people may have a bodyguard when they travel. In some cases, the security personnel use an armored vehicle, which protects them and the VIP.
- Counter-Strike Management
- This is when we imbed undercover operatives into an organisation to assess and report on any potential Strike action. Sometimes this involves the physical protection of personnel and physical protection of buildings and property.
- This is when we imbed undercover operatives into an organisation to assess and report on any potential Strike action. Sometimes this involves the physical protection of personnel and physical protection of buildings and property. We also endeavor to prevent labour strike, or a work stoppage, caused by the mass refusal of employees to work. A strike usually takes place in response to employee grievances. Strikes became common during the Industrial Revolution when mass labour became important in factories and mines. In most countries, strike actions were quickly made illegal, as factory owners had far more power than workers. Most Western countries partially legalized striking in the late 19th or early 20th centuries. Strikes are sometimes used to pressure governments to change policies.

- Events
- Event management is the application of project management to the creation and development of small and/or large-scale personal or corporate events such as festivals, conferences, ceremonies, weddings, formal parties, concerts, or conventions. We offer all security service detail.
- The events industry now includes events of all sizes from the Olympics down to business breakfast meetings. Many industries, celebrities, charitable organizations, and interest groups hold events in order to market their label, build business relationships, raise money, or celebrate achievement. The process of planning and coordinating the event is usually referred to as event planning and which can include budgeting, scheduling, site selection, acquiring necessary permits, coordinating transportation and parking, arranging for speakers or entertainers, arranging decor, event security, catering, coordinating with third-party vendors, and emergency plans. Each event is different in its nature so process of planning & execution of each event differs on basis of the type of event. The event manager is the person who plans and executes the event, taking responsibility for the creative, technical, and logistical elements. This includes overall event design, brand building, marketing and communication strategy, audio-visual production, script writing, logistics, budgeting, negotiation, and client service.
- Personal Protection
- We practice the “detect, deter, observe and report” method. As security officers are not required to make arrests, but have the authority to make a citizen’s arrest, or otherwise act as an agent of law enforcement, for example, at the request of a police officer. A private security officer’s responsibility is protecting their client from a variety of hazards (usually in the form of criminal acts). Security personnel enforce company rules and can act to protect lives and property, and they sometimes have a contractual obligation to provide these actions. In addition to basic deterrence, security officers are often trained to perform specialized tasks such as arrest and control (including handcuffing and restraints), operate emergency equipment, perform first aid, CPR, take accurate notes, write detailed reports, and perform other tasks as required by the client they are serving. All security officers are also required to go through additional training mandated by the state for the carrying of weapons such as batons, firearms, and pepper spray (e.g. PSIRA Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority). Some officers are required to complete certification for special duties. The number of personnel is expected to grow, due to elevated threats of terrorism, most security officers are required to have bomb-threat training and/or emergency crisis training, especially those located in soft target areas such as shopping malls, schools, and any other area where the general public congregate. One major economic justification for security personnel is that insurance companies (particularly fire insurance carriers) will give substantial rate discounts to sites which have a 24-hour presence. Also, the presence of security officers (particularly in combination with effective security procedures) tends to diminish “shrinkage”, theft, employee misconduct, and safety rule violations, property damage, or even sabotage. Security personnel may also perform access control at building entrances and vehicle gates; meaning, they ensure that employees and visitors display proper passes or identification before entering the facility. Security officers are called upon to respond to potential hazards (such as broken lights or doors, disturbances, lost persons, minor injuries, etc.) and to assist in serious emergencies (medicals, fires, crime, etc.) by securing the scene to prevent further loss or damage, summoning emergency responders to the incident, helping to redirect foot traffic to safe locations, and by documenting what happened on an incident report to give their client an idea of how to prevent similar situations from occurring.
- Armed security officers are frequently contracted to respond as law enforcement until a given situation at a client location is under control and/or public authorities arrive on the scene. Patrolling is usually a large part of a security officer’s duties, as most incidents are prevented by being looked for instead of waiting for them to occur. Often these patrols are logged by use of a GMU guard patrol system, which require regular patrols, electronic systems have risen in popularity due to their lightweight, ease of use, and downloadable logging capabilities. Random patrols are easily programmed into electronic systems, allowing greater freedom of movement and unpredictability. Global positioning systems are beginning to be used because they are a more effective means of tracking officers’ movements and behaviour.
- Vehicle Escorts
- An escort vehicle, also called a pilot vehicle in most areas, is an automobile used to escort clients with high security requirements. In most instances, pilot vehicles are provided by companies that specialize in convoy escort, although escort duties are occasionally performed by our vehicles for shipments that require a high level of security during transit. We provide our vehicles and drivers to escort High Value Loads within Gauteng. Our Security Escort of Vehicle services provide protection for high value loads, such as large works of art and electronics, which require the presence of security personnel in case of any criminal intent on its route. We use a variety of vehicles which can carry up to four security officers. All are equipped with HD CCTV, which is recorded to the vehicle itself and, importantly, is also recorded and transmitted live to our servers in our control room.
- Our vehicle’s integrated tracker will constantly show our exact location so in the event the load is hijacked we can inform the local police and have film of the event to assist in its recovery. If requested, we can place a high-end magnetic tracker to the escorted vehicle without the knowledge of the drivers so that we can follow at a distance and monitor its speed and exact location in the event the vehicle is hijacked. This can be monitored live by our security staff.
- VIP Protectio
- Providing protection for VIP’S is a far more complicated project than one may think. Having years of experience, we understand this and know how to work around and manage any hurdles. Celebrity bodyguard protection will always involve the management of crowds or eager individuals wanting to get close to their star and, therefore, our close protection officers are trained and experienced in politely, but effectively, dominating these scenarios.
- Transporting of celebrities is another critical component of celebrity bodyguard protection. Ensuring that appointment times are kept and that the transport of the celebrities runs smoothly and effectively. It has primary responsibility for the personal safety of VIP’S and their family, high-rank government officials, VIPs and visiting dignitaries, therefore the training techniques taught to all our officers include VIP protection and unarmed combat.
