Security personnel shall be searched prior to and after deployment. The paraded personnel shall be deployed to and from site in marked Security Embassy vehicles and this helps to reduce intimidation and minimize collusion of security staff. Supervisor’s searches security before and after shifts. Another advantage of deployment is to ensure that the entire compliment arrives as a unit and as they do not reside in the immediate areas, they do not desert the posts or the premises but rather remain on duty until such a time that the relief shift arrives.
Discipline
Security Embassy has at its heart a disciplined culture and although many security companies in South Africa proclaim to be running disciplined security operations along similar lines, few actually do, To some, the discipline seem somewhat overdone but it is our experience that this is the single most effective means of exercising control over a large force.
Deployed security provides a front line PR function and the image projected is crucial, ensuring both the client and our image is upheld at all times. Because of our belief in a superior Service level and fanatical drive to be the best, the intensively managed discipline process is softened by a participative management style, a beneficial reward system and various incentive programs. This ensures that the relationship with our guard force is a “win – win” relationship.
