Questions?

  • What happened to your random patrols?
  • Why don't we see your vehicles in our area anymore?
These are regular questions asked. Alpha Security will be celebrating its 24th anniversary in August 2010. It has since conception provided the community of Kempton Park and surroundings with a variety of security services:
  • Selling and installing indoor and outdoor intruder detection equipment.
  • Monitoring of alarm signals.
  • Providing armed response.
  • Premises check.
  • Patrol services
  • Pet care.
  • Tuck-in service.
  • Chaplain service.
  • Trauma counseling & debriefing.
  • And the list goes on…

Crime trend statistics over many years reveal that random patrols are not as effective as initially anticipated. Crime unfortunately has become a profession and the criminals, professionals in their own right. They spend time observing their proposed victim's daily routine and activities and plan their strategy very carefully. They know that armed reaction or patrol vehicles passing by will not return within minutes. Your property and family consequently become soft targets and that is when a vast majority of attacks or break-ins take place.

It is one of the reasons why you don't see Alpha Security vehicles roaming the streets with random patrols. Clients are paying for prompt response times and we can proudly proclaim that we offer the best response times in our area of operation.

Instead of roaming the streets, the Alpha Reaction Unit makes use of dedicated stand-off points to enable them to respond to the furthers point in their respective areas in the shortest time.

A monitoring and armed reaction service is always a reactive service. It cannot prevent break-ins but can surely take criminals by surprise and therefore limit the damage caused.

The reaction unit operates with an average of eight (8) vehicle per shift 24/7. The dedicated stand-off points strategy, also contributes to a saving on the fuel bill that limits the monthly premiums passed onto clients.

Whenever you observe an Alpha Security reaction officer sitting in his vehicle doing "nothing", be aware that he might have just returned from a break-in, hi-jacking, armed robbery or false alarm and that he may have driven past your premises on his way back.
