🇿🇦🛡️ A FALSE ALARM IS NOT FREE
Running a private security company today is expensive.
Wages increase.
Statutory contributions increase.
Compliance costs increase.
Fuel increases.
Vehicles need maintenance.
Control rooms operate 24/7.
Technology, radios, batteries and backup power all cost money.
And then there are the unnecessary call-outs.
Faulty beams. Repeated false alarms. Unserviced systems. Accidental panics. Pets triggering detectors. Even calls for matters that are not security-related.
Every unnecessary dispatch uses fuel, officer time and vehicle kilometres — and can take that vehicle away from a genuine emergency.
If you have an ongoing fault, please let us fix it.
There is another reality we need to talk about:
Clients often choose the “cheaper guard”, even when the price being quoted simply cannot realistically cover compliant wages, statutory contributions, uniforms, training, supervision and the other costs required to operate legally.
A compliant security company cannot compete fairly with someone who achieves a lower price by cutting corners.
Cheap security is not always compliant security.
Before accepting the cheapest guarding quotation, ask what is actually included — and whether the company can genuinely provide the service legally and sustainably at that price.
And when it comes to community security, please remember:
Some people do not contribute, yet are often the first to demand answers when something goes wrong.
Community security cannot run on criticism alone.
If you want your 2c worth of say — sign up, contribute and become part of the solution.
