                                                                 SELECTING YOUR GUARD  

 

Our biggest investment on your behalf is the effort we go to attract and retain the best possible team of security officers. Our program is aimed at the recruiting and training process, the task of service implementation and, of course, management and supervision.

 

Their primary function will be the “protection of life and property” at your site. Our aim is to allocate the right guard to the right job. Although most people regard security as a stereotype, and wrongly believe one guard is as good as another and all security is basically the same, we at DMS believe each and every site is different in many ways, and as such requires a specific type of guard.

  After our management team, has completed a site survey, the next step for DMS is to select the guard/guards that would best suit your individual site and needs, some of the things we look for in a guard are honesty, integrity, health, experience, and attitude, for example, you may have a site or venue that requires the guard to interact with residents, guests or clients, so an experienced guard with good communication skills would be preferable to a guard with experience on building sites, where they would have little or no interaction with the public. 

                                                               TRAINING

  All our guards are licensed security crowd controllers, with a first aid certificate, but this is just paperwork, when DMS take over your security contract, and a guard is selected, he will be briefed by our management team as to his duties and responsibilities, then he will have on site training by a supervisor (or higher ranking officer) at your site to ensure the guard is fully versed with the lay out and instructions of the site, then and only then will the guard be left to manage the site on his/her own.

This process usually takes two – three days, however this may vary depending upon the guard and the complexity of the site, Obviously DMS absorb any and all of the training costs incurred. This is part of our ongoing promise to ensure you receive the best possible service, for minimal cost.
