SECURITY MANAGEMENT

AKRO provide a comprehensive range of services to guard against each and every kind of threat. With effective risk analysis through evaluation of existing protocols and threat assessments and appropriate planning, measures can be implemented to counter any existing and future potential threats. Crucially, AKRO can also help ensure effective crisis management thus maintaining control in the event of an incident. By providing training to both corporate and locally employed personnel, a positive and effective response can be planned and executed to ensure the safety of staff as well as the operational continuity of the organization.

This information is designed to provide an overview of the services offered by AKRO – however, it is not an exhaustive list. We would be delighted to discuss your specific security issues and needs and demonstrate how our experience can secure your employees and assets- wherever your business takes you...

All of our work is carried out with the highest degree of discretion, integrity and client confidentiality, all within the framework of national and international law.

STATIC GUARDING

AKRO provides static guarding services at large as well as small site locations throughout the country. We have extensive experience in the static guarding being an old security outfit and completely understand the multifaceted requirements of different sectors. Whether using a highly visible security presence or taking a more discrete approach, we can control access and provide search & patrol teams. We pride ourselves not only in the static guarding sector but also in advising on the installation or upgrading of security systems. We work closely with industry leaders in the provision of the most up to date security equipment. AKRO also offers a specialized K9 service to complement our site security systems.

CLOSE / EXECUTIVE PROTECTION

Our management has a lot of experience in managing and running high and low profile close protection teams. We have trained professionals who have undergone foreign courses in close protection operations from UK and hence they conduct the close protection operations with precision and total professionalism.

AKRO offers close protection services to executives, their homes and families. We design and coordinate security programs for executives at the workplace, during their transit as well as at their residences.

The main emphasis of our Close Protection Teams is to provide a professional low profile cover that attracts minimum attention to the principal and the team in a “low and medium” threat environment. However, in “medium to high” threat environments the AKRO CP teams are capable of raising the profile from low to high and thus provide armed protection to the principal against any harm whether intentional or un-intentional. Medical assistance is also provided as required. Our team of anti-terrorist trained ex-Special Services Group (SSG) officers and other ranks are trained to perform a variety of close protection roles, either as part of a team or individually.

INVISIBLE (COVERT) SECURITY

Our company understands that few businesses like bigger factories and installations also need managing their security in discrete yet efficient and in an effective manner. Hence AKRO has employed trained individuals who have the requisite experience of managing and running the security in an invisible/unnoticeable manner. Few glimpses of the discrete security through pictorial attachment will surely clarify this aspect.

CONVOY PROTECTION

The management at AKRO completely understands the dimensions of convoy protection. We know that transportation of high value cargo assets is a challenging and risky affair especially in the difficult and security sensitive areas of the country. However, this is ably managed by our (CPETs) convoy protection and escort teams. Our Escort Protection service covers the transportation may it be through road, rail or air. It can be in the form of armed escort for long haul trucks/trains as well as “carry on” service for valuable loads by air. AKRO personnel have acquired vast experience in mobile security operations in the remote and hostile locations. This experience enables us to support all aspects of convoy movement and protection including planning, asset tracking and escort.

RISK ASSESSMENT REPORTS

By virtue of having trained professionals who had served with foreign missions as security managers and risk analysts in their past employments, AKRO has a leading edge of being able to produce quality risk assessment reports by utilizing their expertise and knowledge in this field. We can produce area and organization specific risk analysis that can help the organizations to mitigate the risks involved by following the recommendations set out in the relevant reports.

SECURITY AUDITING

AKRO has a team of professionals who are qualified to carry-out Security Auditing for all kind of sites, including:

· Industrial Sites.

· Hotel Facilities.

· Office Complexes.

· Foreign missions / multinational organizations.

· Mega shopping malls and complexes.

· Educational institutions.

· Open / perimeter bound living complexes.

· Temporary camping sites and tourists resorts.

While conducting the security audits we carry out an overview of current security procedures, installed equipment and provide a detailed audit report recommending suitable operating procedures and installation of security equipment such as CCTV and traffic calming systems. The auditing also covers the deployment of personnel for access control, monitoring of CCTV, and search standards and procedures. But it is not limited to simply evaluating security systems, our surveyors also establish whether personnel, assets and information are properly protected through operating systems such as fire procedures, evacuation systems, health and safety standards and threat alerts. They will also discover if site managers are proficient in all emergency procedures and that there are systems in place for the competent and on-going training for all employees to maintain optimum operating procedures at all times.

INTRUSION / PANIC ALARM SYSTEMS AND THEIR MONITORING

Though currently AKRO does not have an integral facility for the monitoring the panic / intrusion alarm system however, we do have a business understanding with our sister security company dealing with installation, monitoring and managing of the alarms systems and could procure and provide the said facility to our valued clients. At the same time AKRO does have the facility where on site siren alarms are installed. Triggering the onsite alarms either through a fix or through a wireless panic button would mean generating a loud siren that would attract the attention of the static guard and the surroundings. The static guard in turn can immediately call on radio or phone and acquire the help of our dedicated QRF (Quick Reaction Force). Once the QRF has reached the site it can all for the local police help if required.

QUICK REACTION FORCE

AKRO has employed a stand by QRF that is highly motivated and trained to respond to emergencies. It has three trained armed men in addition to an armed driver who are also capable of providing first aid should a need arise in this context.
