Specialized courier services

In today’s world of bank robberies and hijackings it is dangerous to transport valuable goods, documents and even cash. We are in the position to transport your valuables, goods or cash from one point to another by means of secure transport. Our men are armed and professionally trained to handle all matters expertly.

Armed Escorts and VIP Protection

Once again transporting valuables or goods up and down can be a risky business. We can provide armed escorts to accompany you or your drivers to and from any destination safely. If you require close personal protection we can assist you with professional personnel, who will protect you with their lives.

Vehicle and Personal tracking

Thanks to the latest technology we are now able to track staff, company vehicles and even family members 24 hr’s a day covertly. For those who wish to do it themselves we can provide a tailor made package deal. Yes you can purchase the tracking units and then monitor the movements of your subject yourself covertly.

Undercover Investigations and Store Detectives

Sometimes even after implementing the best security measures we find ourselves at a total loss with regards to theft and other crimes in the workplace. We can provide you with trained undercover operatives, who will merge with staff and extract and gather valuable information about theft or other matters in your company. This information is then passed onto you the client. When arrests are made we will make sure that the perpetrators are brought to book.

De-Bugging services and Counter Espionage

We are all familiar with the James Bond movies. Yes I too was surprised to see all the modern spy gadgets that were being used to gather information with. Believe it or not your opposition might be using those very same gadgets to spy on your business or even your home. Today more than ever, everyone is at risk of being spied on. We are able to assist you by means of de-bugging your home or business on a regular basis in order to prevent you from losing valuable information that the opposition might use against you. Furthermore we can help you to implement preventative measures that will make it even more difficult for you to become a victim of industrial espionage. Finally we are also in the position to supply our clients with the latest state of the art listening devices and cameras for use in rooms and on telephone lines.

The Tracing of Missing Persons

Whether you are looking for a long lost friend, relative or debtor, we are able to help you find that person. With years of experience in this field combined with the latest databases available to us, we can find almost anyone anywhere at any time.

Pre- Employment and Pre- Marital screening

Gone are the day’s when everything was what it seemed to be. We live in a real world and in this world we have sharks that are out to get you one way or the other. These are professional con artists who would without even blinking an eye con you out of everything that you own. Marriage is only a small sacrifice to be made in a big scam. Many have learned to trust their instincts and to employ our services just to confirm their suspicions. Good thing they did because the few rand that they spent with us to check out their spouse to be, is nothing when compare to what they stood to loose in the long run. Money spent on pre- employment checks have also proven to be worth it. Prevention is better than cure. Even just a superficial investigation could save you from making the worse decision of your life. Once employed in your service it would be almost impossible to get rid of a potential threat within the company and in the long run you will stand to lose a lot of money or even everything that you have. To some it has become standard practice to check others out first before making any decisions.

Fraud and Theft Investigations

These two crimes are most certainly on the increase. Some people will stop at nothing to defraud you. We are able to successfully investigate and prevent crimes of this nature. Years of experience has taught us to handle these matters with the utmost professionalism. The biggest theft case investigated by us was that of the theft of a R45000 000.00 (Four and a half million rand) Transformer.. The matter was undertaken six months after the transformer was stolen and the transformer was found within two day’s after we had received the instruction from our client.

Financial Investigations

Whether you wish to employ someone or just want to check whether someone is financially in the position to do business with you. This type of investigation will most certainly be worth every rand that you spend with us. Sometimes someone owes you money and you need to find out whether it would be worth pursuing a legal battle in order to attach goods. It is better to spend a few rand than to spend a small fortune to try and recover money that you won’t get.

SASSETA Accredited Security Training Grade D to A

Legislation now dictates that all security officers must be SASSETA trained and accredited. This is a good thing because all qualifications are now registered with SAQA on a national database. Gone are the day’s when scrupulous employers could defraud their employees out of a decent qualification. All security personnel are registered as professionals with SASSETA and PSIRA insuring that you the client will only employ qualified staffs who are screened by the SAPS and PSIRA before any registrations are approved. We encourage you to have your security staff trained with us in order for them to be in the position of protecting life and property with the utmost professionalism. In return you will have empowered your work force and you will rest assured that your life and property is in good hands.

Assessing and Moderating Services

Whether you wish to train your staff or whether you need to help them to obtain recognition for prior learning with SASSETA. You will have to make use of the services of an accredited assessor or moderator as part of the quality management system. We are able to both assess and moderate all POE’s before they are sent of to SASSETA for accreditation.

Verification Services

Crime is rampant and criminals will stop at nothing in order to infiltrate your business. They will employ every means possible to achieve their goals. Even if it means forging university certificates, degrees, drivers licenses, birth certificates etc. Unless all qualifications are checked and verified you will never know whether the person working for you has the right qualification for the job. Even worse you may stand to loose a lot of revenue due to your lack of interest in the above. Please consider very carefully before you employ someone.

Moving or static Surveillance

Due to the nature of some crimes, be it civil or criminal, it may become necessary to place a suspect or suspects under surveillance for some time in order for us to gather evidence. This can be done by means of moving or static surveillance. The approach we will need to use will only become evident once each matter is undertaken. Rest assured that these types of investigations do healed useful evidence. During the course of such investigations we will take photos, follow the suspect or suspects around and infiltrate certain areas in order for us to gather the evidence required in order for you to prove your case.

Intelligence Gathering on Individuals and Companies

This is another form of industrial espionage and quite popular, especially so, because this type of information can be obtained relatively cheap and swiftly. Information may include the following: Directorship information, Bank statements, Telephone printouts and any other documentary information that the client might want. Bear in mind that these documents can be used to the clients advantage as he or she will always be one step ahead at meetings, etc. Some say that knowledge is power. It is indeed true, especially so if you have big money at stake. Once again a small investment will give you the upper hand.

Security Guards

Safeguarding life and property is a serious business. You wouldn’t want a unprofessional criminal looking after your life and property. We are able to provide you with professionally trained and PSIRA registered security guards. Feel free to ask us for a quote.

CCTV Cameras, Beams and Alarm Systems

Every household or business needs one or more of the above. Whatever you require we can supply and even install. We only sell the top of the range products. All our products come with a manufacturers guarantee and after sales service. If you are not sure about your security needs we can provide you with on site surveys. Once we have completed the survey, we would be able to advise you on all your security needs.

Armed Response

Whether you have an alarm system or not, we can provide you with an armed response service 24 hours seven day’s a week, at your home or business.

Neighbourhood watch and armed patrols

Sometimes prevention is better that cure. Visible policing has proven to be an effective tool in the fight against crime. Upon request we will patrol your premises 24 hours a day or only when you go away from home or the office for a short space of time (Special Patrols). We have arrested many wanted criminals during the course of our patrols and prevented serious crimes.
