Armed & Unarmed Security Guards
Professionally trained officers who deter, de-escalate and protect — because the best armed response outcome is a peaceful one.
Overview
Why security guards matters
A visible, professional guarding presence remains the most effective deterrent against crime. Peaceforce deploys armed and unarmed security officers to homes, businesses, banks, mines and critical infrastructure across South Africa.
Armed personnel are deployed only on client request and only where the risk justifies it — when highly valuable assets must be safeguarded, or when an armed escort is required for an executive or VIP. Every deployment starts with a comprehensive site and risk assessment so you get the right level of protection, never more or less than you need.
Every officer is trained well beyond weapons handling: de-escalation and conflict-resolution tactics are core to our training philosophy.
