Recently, in some part of the world, a 32-year-old #security guard was sentenced to two years in prison for breaking into a teachers’ staff room and stealing money. This is how it happened- the guard was on duty from 6am to 6pm.

After completing his shift, he stayed on for the night shift to cover for his brother, who was also a #securitystaff personnel, but was away on that day. In the course of his shift, this guard apparently received a threatening WhatsApp message from a person he owed money.

In a desperate move, he resorted to breaking into the teachers’ staff room by forcing one of the locks open and made away with an amount of money. Security investigations led to his arrest, trial and sentencing. Certain irregularities within the firm’s security web information management system were however put to question.

Were there updated records of this guard standing in for his relative? Was the school informed about this emergency shift change on the said day? This is still a struggle for most companies and individuals dealing in security matters. A comprehensive system should include details of all your security personnel, and the information should be updated regularly.

This is vital when it comes to cases such as emergency swapping of security guards from one station to the other, deployment to special assignments as ordered by clients, replacement of guards in case of a sick leave, resignation and so on.

On the security firm’s part, it allows them remain accountable for the staff member on duty at whichever station. For the client, it gives them much needed information about this person looking after their home, business premises or other valuable assets.

The Africaner Security Management System from #ufanisiafrica solves these challenges and more such as; client payments, security guards’ timetable, cases of theft, contracts with clients… Remember, this is the ultimate tool for your security management.
