Loadshedding tips from our Technical Manager - Larissa Coleske

• Loadshedding!! The word that most of us dread to hear is certainly here to stay for good. In this article, we will be looking at tips that can improve your security during this vulnerable time.

• Ensure that you test your alarm system often. To do this, you should arrange beforehand a testing session with your security service provider to ensure that they are receiving alarm signals.

• Purchase a big enough backup battery to provide power to your system for longer periods and more often power failures.

• Place battery-operated lights and spotlights in strategic locations to ensure illumination during night-time when the power goes out. These can be connected to the electricity supply to switch on and off when the power supply is lost or restored.

• Carry a torch to illuminate areas of suspicious activity on your premises and always make sure that you have an extra battery available.

• Always remain vigilant - criminals will use the power outage as an opportunity to remain undetected when conducting criminal activity.

• Ensure that your gate battery is always functioning - being caught outside your home, leaves you vulnerable and makes you an easy target.

• If you have accidentally set off your alarm system, make sure that you contact your security service provider.

• Make sure that you have your alarm system serviced on a regular basis to ensure that it is functioning correctly.

• Make sure that your phone is fully charged when loadshedding starts, should you need to contact emergency services or your security provider.

From humble beginnings - Yvonne George

In 2017, CORE TACTICAL SERVICES entered into a very challenging industry. We started small, with only one vehicle and a hand full of dedicated employees.

Today, almost 6 years later, we have grown into a force to be reckoned with. Our footprint can be found in various areas throughout the Western Cape i.e., Table View, Gansbaai, Hermanus and the Breede River area.

We have a very strong leadership team that ensures only the best of service to our clients.

Our guards are sought after and our Tactical teams ensure our image stands out from the many.

We are nearing the end of another year and we are grateful for the support of our clients in all areas.

We look forward to the next six years and beyond.

Guarding officer of the month Elton Johannie

Officer Sibongile Ndoko was employed on 15 September 2022. He joined the retail security team at Sable Square Pick ‘n Pay.

On the 06th of October 2022 he apprehended a suspect on the premises that stole 7 slab of chocolates. On the 07 October 2022 he apprehended another suspect that stole toiletries and going for the hattrick, on the 08 October 2022 he apprehended a third suspect for stealing 15 slabs of chocolates, a bottle of olive oil, a bottle of antacid and a torch!

I suppose after eating all that chocolate you will need the antacid.

Well done officer Sibongile. You make us proud to have you as part of the Sable Square team, you surely deserve this award as Guard of the month.
