FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
An armed escort service provides trained, armed security officers to accompany the movement of valuable goods, cash, or people between locations. Escorts usually travel in separate vehicles, plan routes in advance, stay in contact with a control room, and respond to threats such as hijacking or robbery.
Cash-in-transit (CIT) services carry cash in specialised armoured vehicles operated by the security provider. Armed escort, by contrast, protects goods or vehicles that belong to the client or a third party, travelling alongside them to deter and respond to attacks during the journey.
Counter-surveillance is the practice of detecting and defeating hostile surveillance before an attack takes place. On escorts, it involves varying routes and timings, watching for vehicles or people that appear repeatedly, and reporting anything suspicious to a control room for assessment.
Private security in South Africa is regulated by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA), established under the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001. Security businesses and individual security officers must register with PSIRA, which also enforces the industry's code of conduct and minimum training standards.
