He has used his extensive experience—gained through studying thousands of crime scenes and interviewing both victims and perpetrators—to

identify patterns and similarities in the types of opportunites that

make crime possible.

From these, he has created his own special method of reverse crime

engineering, which makes it possible for him to predict how a crime

will happen before it actually does. He shows his clients how to

protect themselves proactively—against criminal activity, its

inevitable liabilities, and its long term consequences—simply by

removing the opportunities unwittingly presented.

I borrow from Andre when says criminals have many opportunities

because victims generally all have the same things in common:

1. A poor level of knowledge (or no knowledge at all) about how

to secure their properties

2. No control over their security before or after crime has occurred

3. No security plan in place, now or for the future

4. No independent security risk assessment

Andre has identified the value of, the need for, and the process by

which, to conduct independent security risk assessments.

Andre very smartly started utilizing internet discussion forums long

before anyone else in the industry. The reactions and questions he got

inspired him to create Alwinco; an acronym for Always in Control.

Even though independent risk assessments were unheard of at the time, he believed the service would provide invaluable information to the

average man on the street, and also define outlines that security

managers could use for security evaluation processes and procedures at

a functional and practical level.

Since leaving the police force Andre has conducted close to 300

security risk assessments on various buildings and structures, with

the single intention of transforming identified risks into decision-

making information.

Andre has stood firm and had the courage to remain independent despite

the money-making opportunities inherent in product selection and

installation. He takes fees only for independent risk assessments and

does not accept percentage based commissions from industry managers who have tried to influence his recommendations and continue to do so.

Andre’s knowledge is globally recognized. He has been invited—on

numerous ocassions—to speak on a variety of security related subjects

on national and international platforms. He is regularly invited to

attend business forum presentations, security meetings, SAPS, and

community meetings around the country—most of which he is requested to

chair. Andre actively participates in seminars, conferences, corporate

functions, expos and exhibitions.

Andre is arguably one of the most trustworthy, knowledgeable and

hardest working security professionals in this country and I can say

with confidence, that he will be an asset to any organization or team

he is invited to be a part of.
