ABOUT

Overview

CapeFlats Special Projects (SP) is a Private Security Company (PSC) which specialises in problem resolution and the provision of associated advisory and logistical services.

The organisation was established in 2005 to fill a need in the modern era. CapeFlats SP's purpose is to offer governments, corporations and other legitimate organisations specialist security expertise and to support them in problem resolution.

CapeFlats SP is a privately owned and independent organisation. It is incorporated in Belgrade, Serbia, and maintains a network of associates in various countries around the world.

CapeFlats SP's objective is to provide its clients with the best possible specialised services in order to assist them with solving security issues quickly, efficiently and with minimum impact.

Since its establishment, CapeFlats SP's mission has remained largely unchanged - the provision of sound security advice, training and logistical support - but, as a dynamic company, CapeFlats SP's mission statement is continually reviewed to ensure flexibility and survivability in a growing world-wide competitive market.

CapeFlats SP is made up of men and women who share a common vision - to ensure that CapeFlats SP remains one of the most effective organisations of its kind in the world.

Rationale

There are many different reasons why a client may be considering the services of CapeFlats SP. Whatever the situation, CapeFlats SP is equipped to meet it.

Typical scenarios would be:

• An independent analysis of a problem is required
• Local security or stability may be threatened
• Indigenous capabilities may be insufficient
• International support is not forthcoming, but external support is essential
• CapeFlats SP supplements the local resources
• Local capability is enhanced
• Appropriate actions can now be taken

 

When local resources need supplementing, CapeFlats SP can ensure that appropriate actions are taken to advance the client's capability, expediently and cost-effectively resolving their problem.

Summary

CapeFlats SP is a leader in its field. It has rivals but they cannot or do not wish to deploy the full range of capabilities that it offers to its clients.

CapeFlats SP's operations are completely self-contained, highly disciplined and the organisation is conscious of client confidentiality and local sensitivities. CapeFlats SP does not always focus on the direct application of persuasion but is concerned with the application of a more subtle or oblique approach and, where required, the organisation is capable of conducting humanitarian operations.

CapeFlats SP seeks to provide training for local partners, generating a transfer of skills which enables clients to become self-supporting after the withdrawal of the organisation's personnel on the conclusion of the contract.

CapeFlats SP is capable of very rapid deployment and operates in a cost-effective manner. The organisation is confident that the cost to a client of deploying a CapeFlats SP project team is invariably cheaper than the cost of sourcing alternate forms of external assistance.

 

OPERATION PHILOSOPHY

Operating Principles

CapeFlats Special Projects' operating principles ensure that the organisation only accepts projects which, in the view of its management, would improve the state of security, stability and general conditions in host countries. To this end the organisation will only undertake projects which are for:

• Internationally recognised governments (preferably democratically elected)
• International institutions
• Non-governmental organisations
• Corporations
• Genuine, internationally recognised and supported liberation movements

 

CapeFlats SP will not become involved with:

• Embargoed regimes
• Terrorist organisations
• Drug cartels and international organised crime
• Illegal arms trading
• Nuclear, biological or chemical proliferation
• Any activity which breaches the basic Law of Armed Conflict

 

Project Approach

CapeFlats SP takes care to examine and analyse the issues to be addressed in considerable depth prior to any significant deployment of its personnel. This sometimes requires the completion of a consulting exercise as a preliminary measure. A typical sequence of project management steps includes:

• Full presentation on capabilities
• Outline evaluation of the issues
• Preparation and delivery of proposal
• Contractual arrangements put in place
• Engagement of the organisation
• Detailed analysis of problem
• Thorough project plan worked up and agreed
• Deployment of CapeFlats SP resources
• Completion of project
• Withdrawal of project team

 

CapeFlats SP's specialist advisory teams set proper channels of communication between the client and the organisation on a "need-to-know" basis, leaving both parties clear about all parameters, objectives and potential problems prior to commitment.

Equipment

CapeFlats SP prides itself on not being purely a seller of equipment. The approach the organisation has adopted is as follows:

1. The client advises CapeFlats SP of the exact problem. In a joint think-tank, solutions to counter the problem are generated, and if equipment is necessary to solve the problem, CapeFlats SP will identify possible equipment solutions.

2. CapeFlats SP will gather all relevant information on the possible equipment and will make a specific recommendation to the client, based on:

• Equipment performance
• Suitability
• Flexibility
• Cost

 

3. If the client accepts CapeFlats SP's recommendation, CapeFlats SP will secure a quotation, which if accepted by the client, is then processed.

CapeFlats SP has learned that the above approach is most beneficial to the client and prevents the purchasing of unnecessary equipment.

Financial Arrangements

CapeFlats SP offers a cost-effective solution for its clients. The financial package is self-contained and invariably determined in advance of service delivery. CapeFlats SP anticipates all the likely operational costs associated with the conduct of a project and can, therefore, provide a firm figure prior to entering into a contractual arrangement.

Providing a comprehensive service, CapeFlats SP is able to assist clients in ensuring their desired outcomes are met. Both nationally and internationally, CapeFlats SP strives to be a leader in the marketplace.

PERSONNEL

Management & Resources

CapeFlats Special Projects (SP) is privately managed by a number of ex-military and ex-police personnel from various countries. This management team is supported by access to a pool of associates and consultants with extensive international commercial and legal expertise. CapeFlats SP personnel are highly professional, mostly former military, police and government employees, recruited from a number of countries. They are some of the best available, and have extensive experience of all levels of problem resolution, but are tuned to the nuances and political sensitivities in the world today.

All employees are thoroughly vetted by the organisation prior to employment and their activities are monitored closely at all times. Any breaches of discipline and confidentiality result in dismissal and may also result in prosecution. Our employees operate in a hierarchical and disciplined structure, observing both international laws and customs as well as those of the host countries in which they operate.

Recruitment

The men and women of CapeFlats SP are primarily ex-military and ex-police members from various countries. The criteria for prospective employees are that they must:

• Have had military or police training
• Have no criminal record or criminal investigation pending
• Be prepared to work outside of their home countries
• Be prepared to work in high-risk environments
• Remain loyal to the organisation and its clients

 

Due to the mass "down-sizing" of the military and police across the globe, CapeFlats SP is able to draw on a large, professional workforce at very short notice. Race or religion plays no role in the appointment of a prospective employee - the only consideration being "Can he or she do the job?"

Please note that CapeFlats SP only accepts inquiries concerning possible employment from individuals with previous experience in the military, police and other relevant occupations. CapeFlats SP does not offer internships or other posts which would necessitate training in core skills. Due to the high volume of messages received CapeFlats SP is unable to respond to inquiries which do not conform with this statement.
