ALWIN-CO - Key Persons

Job Titles:

• Founder of ALWINCO & the Independent Security Risk Assessment

Alwinco was founded by André Mundell when he discovered a niche for the assessment after he had begun to blog about crime. The response he received was overwhelming and positive. Many individuals, especially homeowners and those managing properties, requested that he assess their physical security before steps were taken in regards to installation and upgrades. Through word of mouth and high recommendations, André moved on to businesses, complexes, estates, parks, plants, schools and factories. Victims had very little or no knowledge in the best methods or means available to them to protect and safeguard their properties.Due to his history of employment at the SAPS for 21 years, most of which he was directly involved in the investigation of crime scenes; he was able to determine that several factors were always present at the scene of the crime. This was further confirmed once he had interviewed many, many victims, as well as the perpetrators responsible for the crimes. This can be summarized in 4 points: Both before and after the crime, victims were unprepared. There had never been a Security Risk Assessment conducted independently on any of these sites. No Security Plan had been derived for the future and current security was not based on a solid and strong foundation.
