Services
Static Guarding
Static Guarding provides permanent on-site security personnel to protect premises, assets, and people. Our guards conduct regular patrols and implement access control measures, offering immediate response to security threats. This service suits locations requiring constant oversight, such as corporate buildings and industrial sites. Guards undergo BS7858 vetting and hold SIA licenses, ensuring professional standards.
Wire-free Alarm Systems
Our wireless alarm systems offer flexible security for locations without mains power or broadband. These battery-operated solutions include motion-activated CCTV with video verification, suitable for construction sites, farms, and listed buildings. Systems operate independently of traditional infrastructure, making them ideal for temporary sites needing rapid deployment and reliable protection against intrusions.
Mobile Patrols
Mobile Patrols provide scheduled security checks across multiple sites, offering cost-effective coverage for multiple locations. Officers inspect doors, windows, and security measures, reporting abnormalities and implementing remedial actions. This service is particularly effective for commercial properties and vacant premises, with emergency response teams dispatched for confirmed incidents.
Key Holding
Key Holding Services securely store spare keys for rapid access during alarm activations or emergencies. Our 24-hour control room ensures immediate response to after-hours incidents, including lockouts and facility emergencies. This service provides clients with confidence in their security continuity, with access granted only to authorised personnel following strict verification protocols.
CCTV Tower Units
Our mobile CCTV towers provide high-visibility surveillance solutions with AI-powered detection technology. Designed for rapid deployment at events or high-risk areas, these units offer 360 coverage and remote monitoring capabilities. The presence of visible security towers acts as a deterrent while providing real-time evidence collection for crime prevention and investigation.
