Talon Security believe that by recruiting the finest Security Officers, investing in
courses and by paying an above average wage we can offer our clients more skilled,
motivated and confident Security Officers. Talon Security employs only the most qualified and
suitable personnel selected from the most reputable training centres.
Selection and Training
All personnel must pass a stringent selection program and are security checked with the
assistance of SIRA (Security lndustry Regulatory Authority) and the SAPS (South African
Police Service). Talon Security invests both time and resources in providing our Security
Officers with additional on and off site training. We believe that by giving our personnel
additional skills we can offer a more confident, skilled and motivated Security Officer, which
will be able to better serve our clients and to carry out his duties professionally and effectively.
This gives added value to the role of the Security Officer.
Equipment
Security Officers are equipped with Mantrac patrol batons, two-way radios (where necessary),
batons, pepper spray, handcuffs and a cell phone which is linked to our 24 Hour Response
Unit. All our Armed Security Officers undergo advanced and ongoing firearm training and must regularly qualify in order to be permitted to carry any firearm.

Panic Alarm Systems
Our cell phones are fitted with GridWatch panic buttons and the Security Officer can call
upon our Response Unit in the event of any incidents or emergencies. Clients may link this
system to their own cell phones and have a direct panic system to the Security Officer and our Response Unit. Registration of this system is done through GridWatch. We will be happy to assist our clients in setting up the system.
