Atlas Security - Rapid Intervention Unit
Safety
Almost a year since launching, Atlas Security’s Rapid Intervention Unit (RIU) has proven to be a game-changer in the fight against crime.
This dedicated team has clocked up more than 100,000 kilometers, working around the clock to respond to incidents and protect our community. Their relentless efforts have led to or assisted in the arrests of over 30 suspects, in partnership with SAPS and other role players.
The RIU is built for speed, strength, and visibility, a specialized force within Atlas Security that is always ready to respond. Backed by our advanced fleet, cutting-edge technology, and the largest technical and armed response teams in Nelson Mandela Bay, the RIU continues to raise the standard for private security in the Metro.
