Frequently Asked Questions

Configurations range from a single CBS SA-licensed CPO for low-profile movements in Adelaide CBD and North Adelaide to a multi-officer detail with security drivers for HNWI principals based at Glenelg coastal residences or attending major events. Adelaide’s very low violent crime rate (SAPOL Crime Statistics 2024) typically supports a discreet, low-profile detail; summer heat planning (December to February) and late-evening Hindley Street routing are the primary operational considerations.

South Australian private security is regulated under the Security and Investigation Industry Act 1995, administered by Consumer and Business Services SA (CBS SA). Both companies and individual operators must hold a current CBS SA licence. Operators carry indemnity insurance. Clients should request written confirmation of CBS SA licence status for both the company and the individual CPO before any engagement commences.

At Adelaide Airport (ADL), the CPO is pre-positioned for terminal arrival, the vehicle is security-checked and pre-cooled before collection during summer months, and the Sir Donald Bradman Drive route to the CBD, North Adelaide, or Glenelg is pre-surveyed. Allow 15-20 min outside peak hours and 25-35 min during peak. No informal or unvetted transport is used from Adelaide Airport.

Emergency number: 000; SAPOL non-emergency (131-444). Primary facility: Royal Adelaide Hospital (08-7074-0000). Secondary: Flinders Medical Centre (08-8204-5511). Medical routing is pre-planned; CPOs hold current first-aid certification including heat-illness protocols for summer deployments. Medical contingency routing is built into the operation order before deployment.
