Your Safety & Security Magazine
Servamus January 2026
The impact of organised crime groups/syndicates is creeping closer to the public as kidnapping becomes common, when we are targeted through scams and spam calls, or risk buying jewellery manufactured from precious metals or diamonds from conflict areas. It is only when we arm ourselves with knowledge that we can mitigate the risk of falling victim to these crimes. In the January 2026 issue of Servamus, we provide you with the information to improve your knowledge about these organised crime types and the modus operandi followed by these criminals.
