In 1970, SAFEGUARD became the first security agency to install its own franchised VHF frequency and radio networks, instantly connecting all its staff officers and mobile units to a central base. Moreover, its office is manned by a Staff Duty officer 24 hours a day, everyday, to ensure that all field requirements and/or inquiries are attended to at the soonest possible time.

In 1975, the company established its Armor Services Division which in 1992 became an independent entity, SAFEGUARD ARMOR AND SECURITY CORP. (SASCOR), due to its significant growth. SASCOR became a pioneer in designing and manufacturing its own state-of-the-art armored vehicles for better quality control in 1987, and has been providing top-quality armored services synonymous with the SAFEGUARD name. Today, the Armor Division is one of the largest of its kind in the industry, and offers its services nationwide. It boasts of a reputation for honest and highly trained armor crew, who have never been involved in any theft of client’s cargo. In 2008, SASCOR set another Philippine milestone by offering its proven and reliable design of armored trucks for the export market.

By 1980, SAFEGUARD opened one of the first Firearm Repair Facility in the country to undertake the repair and maintenance of its weapons. Quality workmanship in repairs and renovations now serves even the requirements of other agencies.

In 1981, SAFEGUARD TRAINING CENTER was established. The Center was to hone the Company’s security force in the high standards for which it is known. It also provides the most rigid training in the latest techniques and procedures in security protection, and was adjudged by the Security Agencies and Guards Supervision Division (SAGSD) of the Philippine National Police as one of the best training schools in the country today. The subsidiary was spun off as in 2006 as the Safeguard Security Development Academy, Inc.

In 2002, the Company was the first to introduce a regular customer-feedback survey. This annual exercise was to determine satisfaction ratings and concerns direct from the client. The information gathered from these annual surveys served as a vital tool in Safeguard’s continuous improvement program.

In 2003, the company introduced the world’s first cellular-based security program. The system was designed to warn of impending crimes via text message to a constantly monitored central computer. Many commercial establishments now enjoy the benefits of its installation.

Safeguard became the first private security agency in the Philippines to import and successfully operate its own polygraph machine in 2004.

Safeguard established its own K-9 training facility in the province of Laguna, just South of Manila in 2005. With the help of US trained instructors, the K-9 Academy has been producing authentic Belgian Malinois and Labrador graduates, which can reliably sniff at least nine types of explosives, and be deployed anywhere at a given notice.

Also in 2005, the Safeguard Group offered its full-range of services nationwide. It established an office in Metro Cebu and started commercial operations in Metro Davao three years later.
