Dear KSS Clients
There has been an increase in the theft of motor vehicle thefts, as well as an increase in the number of intruders onto properties. Please remain vigilant at all times.
Check your alarm systems
With the festive season approaching it is important to ensure that your alarm system is fully functional. Many people leave this to the last minute before they go away and it puts our KSS technical teams under immense pressure. Please do not hesitate to contact KSS should you need a service done or upgrades to be made. You can contact Keshen on 0833935265 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Lock-up and go advice for the upcoming festive season
The last thing you want is a positive break-in while you are away on holiday. Here are a few things you can do before leaving for the holidays.
1. Alert your alarm company
Just switching on your alarm and jumping into your car is not sufficient. First ensure that your alarm is working, and then let your alarm company know that you will be away.
2. Proactive activity
Try to ensure that there is some activity in and around your home. Whether you have a friend or family member making regular “pop-by” visits to feed your pet or have someone staying the night. The little bit of activity will keep criminals at bay. You can also have a light, TV or radio on a timer to go on and off periodically during the night – giving the impression that there is someone home.
3. Social media
Don’t advertise your travel plans on any social media; rather share the details and upload photo’s when you get back.
4. A presence
Arrange for someone to be around if you have a weekly garden or pool service coming by.
5. Hold your post/mail
One of the most noticeable signs that there is no one at home is a pile of post and newspapers in the letterbox at the end of your driveway. Consider hiring a post box, and tell the media company to put a hold on your daily newspaper. Failing that, get someone to collect your post and newspaper on a daily basis.
6. Lighting and fencing
Ensure that outside lights are also on a day-light timer and that the foliage is cleared along your fence line.
Vote of thanks
Thank you to those clients who are feeding information through to us regarding various crimes, so we can pass it on to the relevant authorities. Every little bit helps. We have also had some lovely compliments this week from clients. We deal with so much “drama” on a daily basis, and to be able to pass on messages of gratitude, from clients to our staff, is very rewarding. Herewith are two of the messages:
“Compliments to your control room staff for very competent, professional and helpful service on Friday night 28 October, at about 23h00. It turned out to be a false alarm but they followed through and our concerns were alleviated. Well done indeed”.
“We would both just like to extend a sincere note of thanks to Knight Security Solutions for responding to a call for an ambulance on Wednesday, 2nd November 2016. ER24 arrived here within a few minutes (literally) – we were so impressed. Paramedic Casper and his colleague were caring and professional in every way and delivered me to Mediclinic, Howick with a badly broken foot for further treatment. Could you thank them via medium of this email as well. What an asset to Howick! It is just the best thing we did to join Knight Security Solutions a short while ago. The service we have received since then has been superb and we feel so much safer! A note of thanks to the WHOLE TEAM from both of us”.
