Formed in 1999, to address a gap in the private security market in South
Africa for highly trained professionals in the Security industry. Minimising
security risks is crucial in today’s business environments.


Failure to choose the right security partner can result in situa�ons where
your assets, property and even the lives of your personnel are placed at
risk.

We pride ourselves with the knowledge that our members undergo a strict
selec�on and training process based on the methodologies used by
specialised units in the South African Police and military.

Our comprehensive blue-chip client base bears tes�mony of our ability to


ensure that our clients’ needs are met and their security risks reduced. A
broad base of exper�se, experience and resources ensures that we deliver
the best results a�ainable for each assignment.

Our highly qualified team of experts, sophis�cated skills combined with


their commitment to excellence, further add value and o�en creates
addi�onal opportuni�es for our clients.


TSU operates within a niche market and has, over a rela�vely short period
of twenty years, become highly regarded and recognized within the market
as a leader, offering a world-class service. We provide a more personal
approach to our clients. Our firm’s extensive experience in the public,
private and non-governmental sectors, supplemented by our na�onal
support structure, our specialist training skills and knowledge of the
security industry gives us the necessary insight and experience to deliver
the right solu�on to meet the client’s requirements.

We will commit to a poten�al project or a contract only if we are sure that


we can deliver the requirements to our own unique high standards and
service levels. We will never accept projects unless we are sure that we
have the resources to deliver. We only provide those services where we
know we have the required sustainable competencies to be a market
leader.

Our strategy is to offer a comprehensive and integrated package of security


services, almost like a one-stop-shop to the client. Should we need to use
outside vendors we ensure that they understand our ethos and comply
with our service standards.

TSU puts the safety of your execu�ves first, by using highly quali-


fied personnel. A close protec�on bodyguard is a specialised task
and TSU is highly regarded and recognised in South Africa as a
leader, offering a world class service.


    

Due to the escala�ng crime rate, there is a growing need in South


Africa for close protec�on security. "Fly by night" operators with
the "gi� of the gab" o�en secure contracts at greatly reduced
rates. In order to remain financially viable, these operators
neglect training and underpay their under qualified personnel.

This type of scenario is typical of the private security companies


in South Africa and has resulted in the industry as a whole being
regarded with suspicion.




   



The du�es of the execu�ve support agent extend beyond VIP
security, to the troublesome inconveniences that the family
experience from day to day. This agent has skills in logis�cs,
emergency medical response, security awareness skills, advance
driving skills, communica�on, organising skills and protocol.

     


CEOs and senior managers who are o�en on the road can also
take advantage of the Execu�ve Support service. Roadside assis-
tance, household assistance and airport assistance are offered to
you and your immediate family.

   

The execu�ve security agents have a broad support structure to


assist them in their work. Through a central control room the
execu�ve security agents have immediate access to a number of
services including 24 medical emergency support, police and fire
departments and local municipality services.




  

TSU uniformed security guards are highly regarded for their


professionalism. Security Guarding services are provided to
corpora�ons, private and residen�al home func�ons and events
na�onwide.

Our security guards and supervisors are highly competent,


dedicated officers. Their exper�se ranges from basic security
func�ons to crisis management and emergency response. They
are also well-versed in emergency medical procedures.


   

All TSU Security Guards are on an in-house personnel incen�ve


program to ensure they remain mo�vated and focused. They are
incen�vised to treat each detail as if their own lives and assets
depend on the successful outcome. Our supervisors constantly
monitor each officer's performance and will replace a security
guard if another officer is more suited to the client's needs.




   

Gone are the days where normal security guards or close


protec�on officers, not trained in riot control, protect your assets
and people. APT provides security personnel who are trained to
protect people and property during strikes, plant closings, and
natural disasters.

Discipline and restraint characteris�c APT, whose opera�ons
