Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the risks associated with the virus, the Umbilo South African Police Services (SAPS), recently received assistance from the Fidelity Services Group, who provided a complete sanitisation of their facilities.

“We are proud to have strong relationships with various community organisations throughout the Durban area and were recently approached by their team for assistance,” explains Fidelity ADT’s District Manager for KwaZulu-Natal, Vaughan Pillay.

Fidelity ADT has a longstanding partnership with the SAPS and continue to work together through various crime fighting initiatives including regular crime meetings, stand downs, stop and searches and collaborative patrols.

“We knew that sanitisation would be critical for them during this time and were very happy to be able to assist. The Fidelity Services Group offers sanitisation services through our Fidelity Cleaning Services entity and we at Fidelity ADT opted for a collaborative effort with them to assist,” said Pillay.

A thorough sanitisation of all the touch points within the premises was conducted by the Fidelity Cleaning Services team who were also supported by members of the Fidelity ADT team.

Pillay added that they will continue to support SAPS through various security collaborations during the lockdown period. “Our armed response team will continue to conduct regular patrols, share information and find solutions to crime concerns faced within the area. In addition, and in line with regulations to control and prevent the spread of the coronavirus we have provided all our staff with the necessary PPE equipment to ensure the safety of both our employees and customers at all times.”
