What happens in the first four minutes
- Step 1
Signal
Panic, alarm or camera alert hits the Boksburg control room by radio. An operator sees it in under 10 seconds.
- Step 2
Dispatch
The nearest zone vehicle is sent within 15 seconds while the operator phones you.
- Step 3
On site
Officer secures the property, stays until you or SAPS arrive, and files an incident report to your phone.
What clients say
From Google and Facebook, unedited.
Panic button pressed at 01:40. Vehicle in the driveway at 01:44. They stayed until SAPS arrived and phoned the next morning to check on us. That is the whole reason you pay for this.
Moved from a national provider. Response went from 'eventually' to under five minutes. The control room actually phones you back with a name, not a ticket number.
Bastion took over guarding and access control for 210 units. Incidents down 70 per cent year on year, and the monthly report to trustees is something we can actually read.
