ACS stands here ready to protect you

-

In the current socio-economic and political environmen­t we live in, crime is rife. Every day we hear of more and more violent crimes being committed right on our doorstep.

That is where the dynamic team from

ACS Security comes in.

ACS Security was founded in 2009 by two local young men, Janus Schutte and Johan Kriel. What started as a small guarding company, with only a handful of guards manning residentia­l complexes, and has grown over the past 10 years into one of the top 10 private security service providers in Mpumalanga.

They have 225 employees in total, with a dynamic team of five division managers.

They function under the leadership of the senior relationsh­ip manager, John Meintjes and the two directors, Schutte and Kriel.

The ACS family has expanded to include residentia­l, commercial, industrial, retail and agricultur­al access control and patrol guarding services. In addition to this they have a 24/7 armed reaction team that has become a force to be reckoned with in and around Mbombela, responding to all kinds of emergency situations.

The latest addition to their family is the highly qualified and trained K9 unit with 11 certified working dogs and handlers operating in the area. This entire team has one common goal: “Here to protect.”

They have worked hard to build strong partnershi­ps with various other law enforcemen­t agencies and organisati­ons that focus on keeping the community safe and making the city a better place for all.

Their management team is deeply involved in numerous communitie­s, farms and suburb civilian crime fighting groups in their private capacities.

What makes ACS Security different is the fact that their directors are both very handson and are people’s people. They strongly believe in the personal touch and connection. They operate our business through building strong personal relationsh­ips. The result is that they do not have clients; they have family.

Look out for a regular piece on Fridays where they will share their experience­s and useful tips for you, their community, to safeguard yourselves.
