Armed Security Guards in Johannesburg
Genko Security Services deploys firearm-competent, PSIRA-graded armed security guards to sites where the risk profile calls for an armed presence. Every officer is vetted, medically screened and supervised by an operations manager who reports to you directly.
Why clients choose Genko for armed guarding
PSIRA graded and firearm competent
Officers hold current PSIRA grading and firearm competency in line with the Firearms Control Act, with records available for client audit.
Risk-matched deployment
We size the armed complement to the actual threat picture identified in a site risk assessment rather than selling a fixed package.
Supervision and reporting
Shift supervisors conduct unannounced visits, and incidents are logged and escalated to your nominated contact the same day.
Integrated with technology
Armed posts work alongside CCTV monitoring, alarm signals and mobile patrols so response is coordinated instead of isolated.
