PROTECTIVE FORCE | 34 Hennie Alberts St, Brackenhurst, Alberton, 1448, Gauteng

The roots of the company dates back to 1989 when Eugene Jacobs started patrolling the streets of Brackenhurst at night on his bicycle The men did not want to leave their wives and children alone at night to do neighborhood watch so Eugene offered to do their shifts at a price of course! Later on he rented his fathers car at night and paid his school friends to do his shifts That was the start of what is today known as Protective Force Eugene then started to install alarm systems in houses all by himself and had a base station in a Wendy House at his parents home At this point in time his mother offered to manage the base stations when Eugene was at school In those days his mother used to page him when an alarm went off and he would find a way to escape from school to tend to the situation The business just grew from strength to strength and so Eugene started with the guarding division subsequently he purchased about 3 other smaller security companies with different names but decided to stick with Protectiv
