Guarding

Long Term Contracts
The bulk of Gauteng Protection's business is based on long term guarding contracts to Industrial as well as Residential clients, supported and backed up by our Supervisory and Armed Reaction Teams.

Special Events
Special Events may vary between supplying a single “Car Guard” for a function one evening at your house, to deploying a full Protection Detail with SRT (Special Response Team) backup for a couple of weeks.

Special Events also include temporary guards to construction / building sites, guards to industries while shutting down during e.g. refurbishment or the December holidays.

These type of duties are normally pre-arranged.

Breakdowns
We permanently have between 10 to15 guards on standby for unforeseen circumstances and/or emergencies. These guards can be deployed on short notice to sites, where for example the electronic security system has been breached, where a motor vehicle accident, or any other type of unforeseen event has damaged the perimeter fence.

This service is available to both contracted clients and non-clients, and typically lasts only a day or two while technical personnel resolve the problem.

Guarding Functions

  1. Sentries (Stationary Guards)
    A sentry is a guard assigned to guard over or protect a specific post or location. These posts normally include visitor access points, watch towers, etc. Often the function of a Sentry will include access control.

  2. Access Control
    To assist our personnel in delivering an effective service to our clients, we make use of a combination of Access Control Registers, Visitors Registers, Vehicle Identification Stickers, Sleeping Passes, Workers/ Domestic Identification Cards, etc. to ensure that only authorized persons enter the premises under our control.

  3. Patrolling Guards
    We utilize a GuardTrack system in conjunction with all patrolling guards to ensure that an effective service is delivered to our client. Check points are setup that must be visited by our patrolling officer. These points must be visited either in specific sequence or randomly, as requested by our client. On request we can supply the client with a printout of the patrols completed, detailing the points visited, dates and times.

  4. Site Instructions
    All of our sites are issued with “Site Instructions”. This is a document compiled, in conjunction with our client, which outlines and stipulates the functions of our personnel at the specific post.

This document contains Standard Operating Procedures, Standard Emergency Procedures, Emergency Contact Details, as well as Special Instructions as may be requested by the client.

The purpose of this document is to prevent “misunderstandings” both between Gauteng Protection and its personnel, as well as between Gauteng Protection and our valued client.
