Magnum Security

Guards and an elite guard force

Currently most clients secure their assets and property through guarding (manpower) personnel, with virtually no electronic surveillance. This total reliance on man power means that Magnum Security company has to constantly monitor as close as possible each and every guard being deployed.

Super guards

Magnum Security company also has a contingent of “Super Guards” who are recruited and trained in order to form the following:

A higher educated and a higher calibre of security personnel

Higher levels of training and more years spent in service to Magnum. This means that they have a better knowledge of their job description leading to a highly skilled and knowledgeable quality of guard.

Dogs and dog handlers

• Magnum has a fully-fledged dog division with trained dogs and handlers
• Dogs are continuously being trained by qualified dog masters
• A vicious dog in the hands of a trained and qualified handler is indeed a very strong deterrent to would be thieves.

Magnum would suggest the use of dogs and handlers as they have proven very successful in all their locations.

Firearms officers

Their experience is that criminals have a greater respect for armed guards than un-armed ones. Magnum also has a division of firearms officers who have proven to be very successful in combating crime.

Again, Magnum Security strongly suggests deployment of these officers especially to highly sensitive areas.
