As an armed response provider, you know the truth:
your response officers are the backbone of your service, and when they step into danger, they carry your name, your reputation, and their own lives.
But the reality is that ‘minimum competency’ training is not enough.
Emergencies push people beyond the basics, and without the right preparation, the cost can be devastating — for them, for their families, and for your team.
At Fortis, we believe every officer deserves more than the bare minimum. Our specialist training equips your people with the skills, confidence, and survivability they need — so you can send them out knowing they’re ready, and bring them back safe.
At Fortis Pro Active Defence, we’ve spent decades on the ground — from farm security and community protection to advanced tactical training for private security companies across South Africa.
Our instructors are seasoned trainers, trusted by security firms, CPFs, and farm watches nationwide.
With a proven track record of building confident, capable teams who perform under pressure, Fortis has become the name security leaders turn to when lives, reputations, and readiness truly matter.
