Regulating our security officers
 
All sites are supplied with two way radios, and active track where applicable ,all guards to report fifteen minutes before their shift starts and this is monitored by our control room.
Our control room is operational 24 hours a day, so there is always two supervisors on duty monitoring and keeping visuals on our camera surveillance system. The supervisors on duty are responsible for all day/night postings which include support staff to make provision for: sick leave, days off, annual leave and AWOL’s.
 
Night shift
 
To prevent the most common problem many face at night, sleeping by staff members and/or other possible problems we have a tried and tested system in place.
 
Every site must report to the control room with a specific code, along with their OB serial number at different times throughout the evening, these times change randomly to avoid repetition. These timing intervals are determined by our site managers and recorded on a different sheet which is checked against OB records daily. Apart from these measures we have in place, the area supervisors will visit each site and a physical inspection is done of officers as well as the guard room and all OB books.
 
Alarm/Panic button
 
  • Any guard who fails to report via our two way radio system, which is directly monitored in our control room on time, is visited immediately to determine the cause, as well as possible action for his failure not to report on duty.
  • Any burglar alarm/panic alarm being set off is immediately investigated via our security vehicle, two way radio and Mr Eaglestone is informed immediately of any alarm being triggered.  This way we can write an incident report for the client which then will be emailed to the respective client the following day.
  • We have a dedicated alarm signal system that operates 24 hours a day, this runs on our own unique frequency, which can accommodate up to five hundred alarms. These alarms are only installed at client request.
  • Every morning a meeting is held between one or both directors and the control room staff to discuss the previous night shift and to discuss the day’s events and postings.
 
E S S Tactical pride ourselves in the fact that we guarantee immediate senior management response to any incidents that may occur 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is an important aspect of our commitment to each client and uphold this commitment as best we can.
