Street patrols: Cost-effective way to secure your residential area

 Fawcetts is aware that there are many small companies and individuals who require guard services and yet cannot afford the cost. Because the Fawcetts Street Patrol is a shared service, the cost is manageable and Fawcetts are already providing a number of these services around Zimbabwe.
Clients are signing up for the service and will benefit from Fawcetts’ 50 years experience in guarding as they are the majority provider of manned security to residential properties, the diplomatic corps and non-governmental organisations.  
In addition to the cost-effectiveness, clients are benefiting from a security presence that will be on the look-out for persons of dubious intention. The guards will record as far as possible the details of suspicious persons, activities or vehicles. If back up is required, then this will be summoned from the control room using two-way radios. 
In particular, residents of cul-de-sacs and cluster homes will find this an effective service as it will be complementary to their access control system and could incorporate a meet-and-greet service as one of the guards’ duties.
Residents of cul-de-sacs may be permitted to erect booms to control access into the cul-de-sac after obtaining authority from the municipality. 
Many residences have alarms and panic buttons and those who complement this by using the Fawcetts Street Patrol Service would receive an initial quick reaction before the reaction vehicle arrives.   
By using Fawcetts’ Street Patrol service, clients can be assured that their security guard has been vetted and trained to raise his security consciousness to an optimum level. A recent trend in the security industry has been that clients switch from commercial security to in-house security to avoid the high cost associated with a commercial security service.
However, Fawcetts ensures that vetting has been conducted in an effort to reduce the possibility of employing persons with former questionable pasts. 
Fawcetts clients also benefit from the intensive training and stringent employment criteria that is applied. An added benefit is that all Fawcetts guards are supervised by highly experienced and ranked supervisors to ensure vigilance during their tour of duty as well as a sound understanding of their given tasks.
The supervisors themselves are monitored by management to ensure effectiveness and a tightly controlled operation. Thus customers benefit from a well thought out and supported service — meaning that Fawcetts takes the problem away from their clients, leaving them secure in the knowledge that their assets are being well taken care of. 
Fawcetts Street Patrol Service is available in all centres of Zimbabwe.  Should you require a personal discussion on how their services and products can solve your security problems, please contact any of their offices.
