Investigating & Security Activities Including Vehicle Tracking

The private security sector uses guards and technology to offer protective services to deter, deny, detect or delay the commission of a crime and assist clients to respond effectively to and recover from untoward events. In South Africa private security officers and service providers are required to register with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority, which has over 500,000 security officers and approximately 9,000 security companies signed up. The private security sector continues to grow as it provides a service not readily available from South Africa’s poorly-functioning police force. Apart from the basic commercial and residential armed response service, the industry provides services ranging from special event parking and access control to mounted and dog units and asset protection services during strikes, plant closures and natural disasters.

Tech Developments

Technology is taking on many of the security tasks that used to be assigned to guards, but the number of registered guards is still growing. Technologies that lower costs and increase efficiencies aim to eliminate or at least manage the human element. Security-related technology includes alarm systems using artificial intelligence to analyse behaviour and recognise anomalies and an internet of things systems that synchronise home automation systems and control lights, gates and air conditioning and provide access for parcel deliveries. Others include GPS-enabled tracking devices in security officers’ armbands, portable scanning units and drone guards providing unmanned aerial surveillance.

Report coverage

The detailed Security Activities report describes current conditions, recent developments and factors influencing the success of the industry. The report profiles 37 companies including the Fidelity Security Group (Pty) Ltd, which employs 48,000 in its security services divisions, G4S Cash Solutions (SA) (Pty) Ltd a major player in the cash in transit sector, and Cartrack Holdings Ltd which is involved in the development of telematics and electronic equipment, fleet management and vehicle tracking.

Investigating & Security Activities including Vehicle Tracking

The R50bn-a- year private security industry comprises more than 8,100 companies that employ approximately 450,000 security officers. The sector provides investigative services, including background screening & verification services and a wide range of security services ranging from physical guarding and armed response to vehicle tracking, mounted cable network protection, crowd control and off-site monitoring. Since 1997 the number of private security officers has grown three times more than the number of police officers, with the current ratio of security officers to police officers standing at 2.87:1.

Growth in the sector

The growth of the industry although sluggish in the current economic climate is directly linked to the high levels of crime and violence in South Africa, together with public perceptions that police officers are unable to provide adequate security. The compulsory installation of approved security systems as a basic requirement for insurance cover for assets and property also contributes to industry growth.

Concerns within the sector

Of concern is the high level of non-compliance with industry rules and regulations by an estimated 50% of companies active in the sector. Stakeholders are also concerned about the government’s introduction of the Private Security Industry Regulation Amendment Bill 2012, still awaiting the President’s signature. Although some role players believe that many aspects of the Bill could improve the regulation and functioning of the industry, they have reservations about the controversial 49% foreign ownership issue.
