About Us

The Operational Professional Services Story

At Operational Professional Services, our journey began with a clear mission: to provide unparalleled security and protection services backed by experience, integrity, and dedication. Founded by Dirk Odendaal and Ivan Bokgwathile, a seasoned professional with years of expertise in the security industry, our company has grown to become a trusted name in safeguarding people, properties, and operations.

Ivan brings a wealth of experience, having worked in the banking sector’s fraud and sales department, where he gained invaluable expertise in financial crime prevention, risk assessment, and investigative procedures. His role required close collaboration with the South African Police Service (SAPS), further strengthening his deep understanding of criminal operations and enforcement strategies.

Driven by Dirk and Ivan’s vision, we assembled a team of highly experienced individuals, including retired high-ranking detectives, members of the Hawks, riot control experts, and specialized security personnel. Together, we’ve built a foundation rooted in trust, professionalism, and excellence, offering a comprehensive range of services from VIP Protection and Static Guarding to Risk Management and Advanced Driver Training.

Our commitment to innovation and client satisfaction has propelled us to deliver tailored security solutions nationwide. With a focus on real-time surveillance, advanced technology, and proactive risk mitigation, we ensure our clients receive the highest level of protection and peace of mind.

At Operational Professional Services, your safety is our purpose, and your trust is our greatest achievement. Let us partner with you to create a secure and confident future.
