Bailiffs are increasingly confronted with aggression and violence. A trial will take place on Thursday, October 24, in which a person will be convicted of taking hostage and assaulting a bailiff.
This was sufficient reason for Syncasso to ensure that their employees are equipped with an alarm button. This alarm button is a Bluetooth button that can be worn on the belt, on a necklace, key ring or wristband and is connected to the X-Guard app on the user's smartphone.
Unfortunately, not only bailiffs are increasingly the victims of aggression and violence, other professional groups that have difficult kitchen table conversations at people's homes are also increasingly the targets of aggression and violence. Through the X-Guard app they are always connected to adequate assistance. Verification by an emergency center determines whether the police may be sent directly or whether a mobile invigilator will arrive on site for verification.
This animated video explains exactly how X-Guard works. Are you curious whether X-Guard can also do something for you? Then we would like to get in touch with you!
The police rarely accompany bailiffs. But to increase safety, this year there was a trial with a special emergency button. Bailiff Matthieu Schoenberger has such a button.
