Core to improved security in Parkmore, the PCA manages a comprehensive security contract on behalf of its members. This has proved to be the most successful model for suburbs and is commonly applied in many neighbouring communities.
Why a centrally managed security contract?
A United Parkmore is a Safer Parkmore.
The focus is on having a team dedicated to Parkmore – not limited to armed response to individual residences, but proactive patrolling of the entire suburb as well as common spaces with the mandate to investigate and assist wherever possible.
The PCA contracts with 24/7 which enables significant clout for the residents – in both buying-power and additional services.
The entire 24/7 team, from CEO to Guards are deeply committed to the suburb.
The more residents and businesses that sign up with 24/7, the more dedicated vehicles we will get for the Parkmore.
In addition to Home or Business Alarm system monitoring and armed response, key features of the contract are:
24 hour proactive patrolling;
Three dedicated patrolling vehicles plus an experienced cluster manager;
2 well trained armed reaction officers (ARO’s) per vehicle vs. 1 in many other cases allows for immediate intervention or engagement if required;
The vehicles do not leave the suburb – even at shift change;
Access to Tactical Response Strike Team, manned with Grade A guards;
Ad hoc use of 24/7 Security’s K9 Unit;
Additional foot patrollers and vehicles deployed according to crime trends, as budget allows
Average response time to your alarm or panic signal of three minutes and under;
24/7 App with Panic Feature;
Free ‘Meet-and-Greet’ services for clients;
Weekly attendance at Community Policing Forum/ Sandton SAPS meetings and weekly meeting between PCA Suburb Manager and 24/7 management;
Participation in all SAPS-led operations such as green belt clear ups in the parks;
24 hour Control Room and Suburb Manager participation in community security WhatsApp channel ‘ParkmoreProtect’;
Community-owned radio frequency and transmitters – each member purchases a radio upon sign up. This means that should a new provider be selected, no new transmitters will be required as the PCA moves the receiver to the new provider’s control room;
Proactive security trend analysis/insights with suggestions, plus GuardTek for all issue and incident reporting;
Independent security advice;
Community services e.g. reporting broken street lights, pot holes, water leaks, calling paramedics and fire brigade following vehicle accidents etc.
If security provider issues are experienced, the PCA Manager will facilitate resolution and provide feedback.
