Government and health care

Increasingly, government and healthcare organisations are making use of our services. From risk assessment to safety audits to the actual deployment of security personnel on the street, in government buildings or in care institutions. They are on the front line and relieve the enforcement apparatus. In times of crises like COVID-19, this is essential to facilitate security in public spaces and care institutions. Our security guards are selected for their communicative ability, seniority and skills to enforce and de-escalate.

“Safety and security don’t just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment”

Nelson Mandela

Street surveillance relieves the enforcement apparatus

Municipalities increasingly call on our street security officers. They are the eyes and ears on the street for the municipalities. Our officers speak the language of the street and are equipped with modern equipment such as E-bikes and bodycams (AVG-proof). This means that they can cover a large area efficiently and quickly. De-escalating action is the starting point. As a rule, our street patrol officers command respect and minimise inconvenience. They are in direct contact with the security advisor and operate in the front line. They gather intelligence, relieve the enforcement apparatus and can be deployed within 24 hours. Common situations in which our people are deployed are large events, in shopping areas, with loitering youth, Coronation Regulation compliance or tensions within a neighbourhood.

Security in health care institutes

The Flying Dutchman Security Group has experienced security advisors who support healthcare institutions in improving the perception of security and reducing safety risks. A security advisor can provide coaching on the job and support, evaluate and give feedback on incidents. We offer these services 24/7. In addition, a safety advisor can de-escalate violent incidents. Support and coaching from a safety advisor makes caregivers feel safe and reduces absence. In addition, a safety advisor can provide a monthly safety report with recommendations to the management. The safety advisor works preventively on a situation in which the entire care environment is improved in terms of safety. The safety adviser is not a care guard or a care safety officer, but works towards a situation in which the safety risks are reduced to an acceptable level through preventive measures.
