Hi
everyone
Once
again to all our clients who have read and looked forward to our newsletter. We
have kept on providing a Reliable Security Service to our community as
promised. We are now heading fast into winter of 2013 and will have to be more
alert and vigilant during the misty nights and of course longer nights. There
is less casual work available which can lead to more crime activity. If you can
look, listen and importantly phone Scarborough Security immediately of any
strange activity, we will have a better chance of combating crime in our community.
We have permanent vehicles patrolling the areas of Scarborough, Kommetjie and
Simon`s Town 24/7.
OUR MISSION
Is to
assist the SAPS and other Security Companies to establish a crime free scenario
in our community. To allow anybody the rights of our Constitution, without
infringing on the rights of others, maintaining a balance between acceptable
and non-acceptable behaviour, notwithstanding the ethical background and the
lack of social skills.
ASSISTANCE TO THE
COMMUNITY
We have
received a number of phone calls over the past 3 months about suspicious
activity or noise in the area. We are proud to say that even after having to
attend to many alarm calls, we still managed to attend to these calls
and report back the outcome of the calls we have received. We have even gone so
far as to assist the Kommetjie Neighbourhood Watch (KOMWATCH) and
Scarborough neighbourhood Watch (KEEPERS) by having their radio in our
vehicles at all times. We can proudly say that we now have one dedicated Chev
utility vehicle in each area we service. (Scarborough/Misty Cliffs, Kommetjie
and Simon`s Town). We have 2 back-up vehicles that are on stand by 24/7.
We also
have 1 technical vehicle available. That makes a total of 6 vehicles available
at any one given time. For the interest of our new clients, over the last 3 month’s
we have been involved in many activities other than crime, namely. Medical
assistance to households, Vehicle accidents, First Aid, Pets reunited with
owners, Changing tyres, Charging flat batteries, Traffic Control, Being
custodians for keys, Holding lost/recovered items, Switching off appliances
when we get the call “oops” I forgot to switch the stove off. But most
importantly is our rendezvous service. Please
feel free to phone us and ask about this special service that we offer.
Over the
last 3 months we have been involved in many arrests. This has cost the company
many man hours just sitting in court in order for the culprits to be convicted
of their crime, but sadly this has not led to a drop in the criminal activity in
our area`s. Please be aware that crime in Kommetjie has increased with over 35
incidents being reported for the month of March 2013.

rain.

Place Lamani

We will
be there to assist you, with the help of the local SAPS and the Neighbourhood Watches.
With the support of our loyal clients and future clients, we will endeavour to
keep your area safe and peaceful.
OUR AIM
Is to
keep the crime level down so that our children can walk and play peacefully in
our streets without being harassed by undesirables and you can sleep peacefully
at night. You and your family`s lives are precious to us.
SUGGESTIONS TO ASSIST YOU IN CRIME PREVENTION:
1. Close your doors, windows and
garages at night.
2. Do not leave valuables and keys exposed
to open windows.
3. Call us if you hear an alarm.
4. Do not pick up "so
called" hitch hikers.
5. If you have an alarm system,
check with your monitoring company that the
alarm is working.
6. Notify us or your neighbours if you
will be away.
7. Make sure you set your alarm when
required.
Finally we want to stress the fact that
this newsletter is a line of communication between the communities we serve and
Scarborough Security. We are here for the community. In order for this
initiative to succeed, we need to have the communities support.
Keep safe and stay Alert
