Before any Security Officer is employed by us they go through a series of procedures to make sure they are the right people we need. These procedures include, but are not limited to, vetting, a selective training and pre-employment polygraphs. We make sure that all our staff are up to date with any training they might require and we do regular assessment exercises on our sites to make sure that our clients’ needs are met correctly.
We also do random polygraph testing on our Security Officers to make sure your site is covered with the best. At Babelela we also make use of a rotation system so that our Security Officers get the full spectrum of training on different aspects of Security on our different sites as we feel no site is the same. On some of our sites we make use of the MagTouch system for keeping track of patrols and others we have GPS Guard Monitoring System which we can monitor from the internet and which has a panic button installed as well as a call me button so that if anything happens on your site, we can react swiftly. All of our sites have base radios installed so that they all can communicate with each other as well as with our Control Room.
Unfortunately now-days all potential staff must have the correct checks done on them before you employ them, we know this as we have investigated a lot of identity theft, and here at Babelela we can do all those checks for you - the legal way.
We do Criminal Checks, ITC Checks, we can check if Drivers Licenses and PDP's are valid as well as Tertiary Qualifications. We also check company ownerships as well as vehicle ownerships and vehicle license checks. Our thorough investigation leaves no stone unturned, we also check/follow up on Residential Addresses supplied, ID and Passport Verification. We have a one day turn around on most of the vetting’s that will be requested by you.
Here at Babelela Security we do escorting every day and every night. We escort vehicles locally and we also do cross-border escorting. All our Security Personnel that do escorting have been suitably trained to know how to react and what needs to be done if an incident arises. The escorting we do involves assessing situations and making sure that if something does happen that we can either prevent the theft from happening or gather enough evidence so that we can make sure the people responsible are caught so that the stock can be recovered.
All our vehicles have radio’s which are linked up to our control room that monitors there progress and contacts the drivers to make sure all is in order, all our vehicles are tracked from our control room.
