Investigations
One of the most important elements separating good security companies from great ones is the ability to provide intelligence-driven operations and services. The gathering, analysing, linking and appropriate dissemination of relevant information is extremely powerful, and all businesses and communities are reliant on this to proactively fight crime.
Bidvest Protea Coin has the largest and most experienced investigations and information-gathering division within the private security sector. We have a team of highly skilled and experienced investigators, information handlers, informants, forensic data analysts and administrators that all operate under the leadership of a retired SANPS General. Together with the guidance of our in-house legal advisor – previously a senior advocate within the NPA – our investigations practitioners ensure a successful hit rate when it comes to the apprehension and conviction of criminals.
An integrated application and various analytical tools are utilized to capture and manage information relevant to incidents, suspects, and other related entities to provide timely and useful information on crime patterns and trends. We assess the information, connect the dots, and identify trends using the thousands of profiles and entries on our system.
