Creating a secure environment

While crime is extremely high in this region of Johannesburg, we have managed to maintain extremely low levels of incidents within our suburb due to how security is managed within our suburb and how it is funded.

Our Security is based on a multi-prong approach:

• Our two booms are controlled by our security service provider Beagle Watch.  Beagle Watch were appointed by River Club Security Village through a rigorous selection process. 
• River Club Security Village has a dedicated vehicle for our area that actively patrols apprimately 75% of the time.  The dedicated vehicle is co-funded by your direct subscription to Beagle Watch and a top-up co-payment by RSV.  This model is based on at least 80 houses signing up with Beagle and at least 100 houses being paying members of RSV. 
• Our ultimate goal is to have at least 100 houses signed up with Beagle Watch and at least 110 houses being paying members of RSV.
• The final choice of armed response service provider is the homeowners. However, the RSV committee highly recommend using our preferred security provider, Beagle Watch.  Given RSV has a dedicated vehicle for the area, the response times to an alarm activation are significantly reduced (generally between 3 and 5 minutes for the vehicle to arrive if the alarm activation isn’t cancelled).
