He noted that the company leverages technology to develop tailored security systems that meet the unique needs of its clients. <\/p>\n

A private security company has launched a technology-driven community safety initiative designed to help residents and businesses strengthen crime prevention and adopt proactive security measures.<\/p>\n

Touchworld Security managing director Sydney Sibanda said the company was established in 2022 with the goal of delivering modern security solutions to businesses, homeowners, and the public.<\/p>\n

He noted that the company leverages technology to develop tailored security systems that meet the unique needs of its clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe created a product called Home of Special Interest, which was designed to provide peace of mind to residents through patrolling guards in the area,\u201d Sibanda said.<\/p>\n

 \u201cIf a neighbour subscribes to the scheme, we deploy two guards who patrol the designated zone using a global guard patrol system.\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained that the patrol system uses tags and readers that allow guards to scan participating homes during their rounds.<\/p>\n

This enables the company to monitor guard movements and enhance transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also place warning signs outside homes that subscribe to the package and provide a dedicated phone line for residents to use in case of an emergency,\u201d Sibanda said.<\/p>\n

In addition, the company offers sensors and alarm systems integrated with the patrol teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf an alarm is triggered, there is an immediate response from the patrolling team,\u201d Sibanda said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur approach is proactive security, unlike the reactive model where companies respond only after an incident has occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the scheme encourages collaboration among residents, security personnel, and law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur joint efforts with the police make it easier for members of the public to access assistance and present their cases when incidents occur,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Sibanda also noted that the company conducts surveys following theft incidents to help identify suspects and strengthen security measures within communities.<\/p>\n

Those interested in joining the programme can contact the company\u2019s marketing team for details on subscription packages and further assistance.<\/p>\n
