Unarmed Guarding questions
- What is the difference between armed and unarmed guarding?
- Armed officers carry a firearm and are deployed where a risk assessment identifies a credible armed threat. Unarmed officers focus on deterrence, access control and reporting, and escalate to armed response when required.
- Do you supply guards for shopping centres?
- Yes. We service retail stores, shopping centres, corporate offices, warehouses and residential estates across Gauteng.
