  • Tactical armed reaction

    When an alarm goes off and our operation centre confirms it, a reaction officer is sent in one of our patrol cars. They investigate, deal with the threat, reset the alarm and secure the premises, and bring in the SAPS if it's serious.

    • Every call, event and outcome logged
  • Guarding and access control

    Fully trained, PSIRA-registered armed and unarmed guards for businesses, residential estates and gated communities of every size, with patrols inside and out, by vehicle or on foot.
