LETTER FROM THEEXECUTIVE DIRECTORBRETT FISHERR2,000,000,000 bank heist!

That's quite a jump from the last big South African bank heist of R400,000 that happened 40 years ago in Krugersdorp. The criminals are better dressed too! Still, it's almost insignificant compared to the amounts “lost” by SOEs and municipalities. Imagine where we could have been without all that…

So much more could have been done to reduce unemployment and poverty. The great news is that change is in the air. Slowly the people responsible for these disasters who were once untouchable are now being removed from their positions and are being replaced. I'm encouraged by these changes and remain optimistic about the future of our great country. There is growing political excitement about the upcoming elections. Let's hope that following these elections the new government will tackle these problems with increased determination, urgency and effectiveness.

An encouraging start has been made but there is also a fight back which must not be allowed to prevail. How much of a storm is brewing remains to be seen... for now, let’s learn to dance in the rain!

In our neighbourhoods crime has increased and is not yet showing any signs of reducing. We all need to take personal responsibility for our families and homes by being more aware of the risks, modifying our behaviour to avoid those risks, regularly checking our technical equipment and beefing up our defences. Effective perimeter security is important. Locked gates, electric fences and outdoor beams are good deterrents and give you more time to react against any attempt to get into your house or to reach you. Regularly making sure that these perimeter defences are working is vital; particularly in complexes and estates.

The Fourways area is growing like topsy and is certainly the ‘New North’. The Fourways Mall will become the second largest in South Africa with 175,000sm of retail space. In the greater Fourways area there are expectations and plans to build 40,000 additional household units over the next 20 years. Add to that the further development of Lanseria Airport, including a Gautrain station linked to a station in Fourways and on into the rest of the Gautrain network and you have an ambitious and impressive development plan.

All this exciting growth throughout our TRSS geographical footprint will, of course, create opportunities for criminal networks to up their game – security companies need to stay ahead of the criminals by continuing to find more effective ways to combine technology and manpower to keep them out of our areas.

Please make sure all of you have tested your alarm systems and perimeter protection to keep your families and valuables safe.For those of you lucky enough to be going on holiday, travel safe and let’s look forward to 2019!

RegardsBrett Fisher

TRSS IN 2018!

MULTI-DISCIPLINE TRAINING!

MULTI-DISCIPLINE CRIME PREVENTION OPERATION IN RANDBURG!

“Just want to thank TRSS for all their hard work securing my area. I had a medical

emergency yesterday morning, TRSS sent a medic as well as an ambulance. They were

on site in less than 5 minutes!”

Multi discipline training is a joint effort between TRSS and some of its partners designed to ensure that all parties are able to work together in any situation to ensure the best possible solutions.

TRSS goes above and beyond standard training, to make sure that our staff are at the pinnacle of the industry. We pride ourselves on being the best, and we aim to bring everyone else along with us to the top. Security in South Africa is always a concern and TRSS like to ensure that security companies and their support structure are all fully capable of handling any situation.

MULTI-DISCIPLINE SEARCH OPERATION FOR CRIMINALS AND ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES!

CREATING AWARENESS!

TRSS is forever increasing awareness to help protect our communities.

This year we have partnered with various security companies as well as SAPS and JMPD to help reduce crime at troubling intersections, participated in crime awareness days with SAPS, clean up operations, search opeations and many other initiatives.

By creating awareness, we aim to ensure the public know we're here to protect and to make sure the bad guys know we are fully committed to crime prevention.

Some of our projects to build awareness in 2018 included our Crime Awareness Day with SAPS and various projects to help reduce hijacking attempts.

Training this year has been a huge success with SAPS, JMPD, Customs, CPF, Pikitup and residents of the areas. Some of the training has led to the seizure of many illegal items, contrabands and arrests. TRSS is always striving to be the very best.

WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY

Over the course of 2018 TRSS teamed up with some of our communities to help solve their security problems in their areas.

We cleaned up, we trained in proper gun use, we presented full compass security solutions, we helped members of domestic helper forums in guarding and education and we've even changed tyres!

We love to help our community in their efforts to keep their neighborhoods and those that live in them safe, secure and happy.

assissted me today when I was left stranded on the side of the road. The urgency in which this situation was

handled was commendable. Thank you guys, your service was amazing. Please keep up the good work. If the bosses

TRSS OPERATIONS

This year TRSS launched a multitude of operations across all our areas to improve security and reduce crime.

From cleaning up river banks, intelligence gathering and multi-discipline search parties resulting in arrests being made and the seizure of deadly weapons and other illegal substances.

We, at TRSS, feel these operations are essential to making sure we give our communities peace of mind by keeping the area safe and secure.
