Specialized high-risk response teams, VIP protection details and expert K9 units — deployed across South Africa to neutralize threats and protect high-value assets with military precision.



Standard armed response is reactive. Our Tactical & K9 Unit is a specialized operational division designed for high-risk environments, active threat neutralization and specialized protection scenarios where standard security measures are insufficient.
Staffed by ex-military and specialized police personnel, our teams are equipped with advanced tactical gear, GPS-tracked vehicles and certified working dogs to provide a level of security that is unmatched in the private sector.
Our primary high-risk neutralization team. Trained for active shooter scenarios, hostile community unrest, farm attack response and high-value asset protection. Equipped with high-grade tactical gear and GPS-dispatched for under-5-minute response in key zones.
Handler-and-dog teams trained in detection, tracking, crowd deterrence and building search. Our K9 units work in tandem with tactical officers — a single K9 team can clear a warehouse, detect concealed persons and deter intruders more effectively than four human officers alone.
From a single-officer VIP detail to a 20-strong operational team — our tactical division scales to the exact size and type of threat your situation demands.
Close protection details for executives, celebrities, diplomats and high-net-worth individuals. Advance route planning, threat assessment and 24/7 close protection cover.
Concerts, political rallies, sports events and public gatherings. Crowd control, narcotics detection, perimeter K9 patrols and emergency extraction capacity.
Tactical standby for cash movement, high-value stock transfers, hostile communities and operations in areas with elevated crime risk or active threats.
Protecting assets, staff and infrastructure during strike action, community unrest or civil disturbance — with tactical teams and K9 units positioned to deter escalation.
K9 teams sweep warehouses, buildings and large properties for intruders, concealed persons and contraband — faster and more reliably than human-only search teams.
Tactical farm attack response — armed teams coordinated with SAPS and our air support division to respond rapidly to rural threats and farm attacks anywhere in our coverage area.
Our tactical control room co-ordinates deployments in real time — from first contact to full team on-site, every step is tracked, briefed and executed with military precision.
You contact our tactical control room. Situation is briefed, threat level assessed and the appropriate unit type and team size determined within minutes.
Tactical team or K9 unit is dispatched on a deployment order. All officers briefed en route on the specific situation, location, and rules of engagement.
Team commander assumes on-site control. Position is established, perimeter set, communications open with control room throughout the entire operation.
Where required, our control room liaises directly with SAPS. Tactical team maintains position until police handover or all-clear is confirmed.
Full written incident and deployment report issued within 24 hours. Includes timeline, actions taken, personnel deployed and any evidence collected.
"Our K9 and tactical response contract went to PT Alarms and the difference was immediate. Incidents at our mall dropped over 60% in three months. The K9 presence alone changed everything."
"We had a protest action at our factory gates that turned threatening. PT Alarms tactical team was on site within 20 minutes — calm, professional, absolutely in control. Nobody got hurt."
"The VIP protection team assigned to our CEO was outstanding. Discreet, highly professional and clearly very well trained. Every detail was managed without us having to think about it."
Whether you need a VIP detail tomorrow, K9 standby for an event next week or an immediate tactical response to a current threat — our team is on call and ready to deploy today.
