Invictus’ trainers are constantly deployed in real world conditions, providing Law Enforcement capabilities within a variety of environments. Our experience and training concepts are up to date. We are successfully practicing what we preach. 

ADVISORY SUPPORT

Invictus has experience working across a wide variety of Africa’s environments. We have a direct physical connection to the region. Instructors are comfortable working around wildlife and the hostile environment Africa presents. The company understands the regional political climate, cultural differences, and the most effective ways to select, train, educate and motivate local Eco-Guards. Invictus’s unique approach is validated by a successful track record in similar environments including the Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia; Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, Zambia; Garamba National Park, DRC; Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe; Tsavo National Park, Kenya and to the Ministry of Environment, Tourism and Forestry and Special Forces, Namibia. 

WHERE OUR SME’S HAVE WORKED

Hear what our customers have to say....

“The training provided was professional, structured, and goal-orientated. Not only was Mr Crafter exceptional with regards to his handling and training of the dogs under at times very harsh environmental conditions, but, his selection and subsequent training of handlers from within the Gonarezhou ranger corps was inspiring. These are men who have had virtually no experience of taking care and working with dogs before – it was a privilege to see them develop into more than competent dog handlers, showing real understanding of the behaviour, capabilities and needs of the dogs under their care.”

Elsabe van der Westhuizen

Technical Advisor, Gonarezhou Conservation Project

“The result has been a more-than-competent special operations unit that demonstrates an understanding of the behaviour, capabilities and needs of the dogs under their care. The unit has already recorded operational successes and we fully anticipate them continuing to make a measurable, tangible difference to anti-poaching efforts in and around the park in the future. “

Ian Stevenson

CEO, Conservation Lower Zambezi

“Not only did you facilitate the assessment, you went further and beyond providing training, assist with veterinary care for the dogs, cultivate a relationship with the unit and purchasing of key equipment…Your team handled all situations with great professionalism and respect for the government departments that we work with.”

Kerri Rademeyer

Project Manager - Wildlife Crime Prevention Project

“At the conclusion of the training, our certified PBDD teams were immediately put to work and have already been used at the Academy and Grammy Awards, on calls to support our bomb squad and as a deterrent at sensitive locations throughout our city.”

Michael Downing

Commanding Officer, Counter-Terrorism and Special Operations Bureau - LAPD
