Hi James and ONW residents, Thank you for this information, but to organize a meeting of the new security company with only five hours warning is of no help to residents who are working and have their diaries planned.
Can a separate meeting not be set up for all the residents including the ones using Vetus Scholar as their main source of armed response and alarm monitoring, at a more reasonable time with sufficient warning. This whole issue has been done very underhandedly. But not something I would have expected from a professional company. Thanks, Doug.

Though letters have been delivered yesterday by Premier in relationship with VS 24/7 AR Management the process was not best communicated, ONW too was left in the lurch./ However, VS has been subsidising their VS armed response vehicle for more that a year at a great defficit to them in the hope that their clientèle will grow sufficiently to be able to continue the service, but somehow did not succeed, and were forced by their very top management to close down their 24/7 service. This will not affect the normal VS security arrangement via the OBSID funds. Premier security has always provided the radio link-up for OAR via their Premier Control room facility that has been running for a number of years. VS subsequently approached Premier to take over the VS 24/7 AR client. At the same time Premier is physically taking over the OAR 24/7 AR as well and will combine the two under the Premier Security service in Observatory. In communication with OBSID, they are positive to grow the new relationship. ONW is requesting a formal introduction to be made by Premier Security and will keep you posted. A meeting has therefore been set up with Premier Security, the ONW and OBSID and will utilise the platform of the Obs Comm Police Sub Forum meeting tonight at 5.30 pm.

I am glad that they are keeping the existing VS staff within the area, but I'm also glad that they finally took over OAR after all the problems the people have had in the past with OAR. However, I'm also a bit concerned should they keep the OAR staff, especially after the incident between an OAR staff member and resident. I checked on the web now, and Premier Security is based in the Southern Suburbs and commenced operation in 2000. They basically cover the area along the M3 from Marina da Gama to Belle Constantia and Meadowridge. I'm just wondering if my existing contract is becomign null and void now, and if the prices will stay the same or what is happening with my existing contract. I will gladly continue with Premier Security, if the levels of service is as per the existing levels which were very good. VS surely made their mark in Observatory, and I don't want to be part of another company (like ADT) which hikes prices, don't assign vehicles and have bad response times. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
