You may already have CCTV and other surveillance devices installed on premises, but there are significant benefits to having the additional presence of uniformed security guards. Nothing acts as a better, more visible, deterrent and a reassurance to members of the public or any of your staff who may be on the premises. Uniformed security guards can ensure your property is fully protected, restricting unauthorised access for potential trespassers and preventing theft, loss and damage. Depending on the size of your property, uniformed security guards can provide highly visible cover throughout the day, overnight and the weekend if required, especially for premises or property spanning large areas including warehouses, industrial properties, transport yards and vacant land tracts.

The presence, visibility and effectiveness of uniformed security guards can be enhanced tremendously if those specialists are professional dog handlers. The added advantages of security guards patrolling with a properly trained and controlled guard dog are the animal’s enhanced ability to detect trespassers or intruders through their keen sight, astonishing sense of smell and their sharp hearing. Very often, the dog handler will be alerted to possible intruders through his canine team mate long before he sees them or they are picked up on any surveillance system. Aside from the benefits of putting the dog’ s highly tuned senses to work, the knowledge that the premises are patrolled by a security officer with K9 is the ultimate deterrent to potential trespassers even more than any other security measure. Your property is therefore protected to the highest standard.

The role and responsibility of a uniformed, static on-site security officer is extremely broad ranging. Static on-site security officers are there to protect your premises through the prevention of theft, avoiding water and fire damage and deterring vandalism. They can also control access by any visitors or contractors that may legitimately require entry to your property. The static on-site security guard has therefore become an integral part of the management of a site and is in a position of both authority and responsibility and is effectively representing your company as well as providing a range of site management and security services. That requires a high level of adaptability and expertise which is why Secure Site UK employs only highly qualified and trained SIA licensed professionals in this role.

Mobile patrol officers are an efficient and effective means of enhancing site or premises security by providing regular random inspections of your property, particularly where continuous attendance would not be cost effective. Patrol sequences are varied so no obvious pattern is set. A mobile patrol guard will carry out regular checks on premises, vehicles, plant and machinery and other items on site, ensuring the safety of your stock and your property. We provide fully SIA licensed uniformed mobile patrol officers in liveried patrol vehicles that can give your premises 24 hour cover especially at weekends and on public holidays. These highly visible mobile patrols can act as a deterrent against criminal damage and vandalism and can also provide lone worker protection if required. Mobile patrol officers can also manage a range of support services, by liaising with glaziers and alarm engineers, as well as providing routine security inspections and rapid response to alarm activations.

The Roma people (often sometimes referred to as Gypsies) have a proud and long tradition, especially in central and eastern Europe. However, it’s Itinerant trespass by Travellers (commonly also often called gypsy, gypsies, gyppo’s or pikey’s) who cause most problems by occupying your land without consent. Caravans, vehicles, dogs and horses can restrict access to your land or private road. Gates may have been broken open and fences destroyed. Buildings may be trashed, and refuse and rubbish collecting on site can cause health concerns as well as being a general nuisance for neighbours.
Every landowner has the right to remove trespassers from their land under Common Law and can do so within 24 hours. Using Common Law to evict itinerant trespassers from your land is a quick and cost-effective method of solving a difficult problem. Secure Site UK can act on behalf of the landowner, employing highly experienced agents and professionals without any redress on your part and acting entirely within the law. Before serving any notice on travellers we conduct a risk and social needs assessment to ensure the travellers are fit to be served, however once that is established we act swiftly to ensure that there is less waste to clear up and expedite the protection of your land or property. Once an orderly eviction has been achieved Secure Site UK can offer a range of complimentary services that will reduce the risk of future trespass and occupation.

There may be occasions when it is not merely your property, but your own physical well-being that is at risk. Close protection officers (more commonly known as bodyguards) may be popularly associated with celebrities and politicians, but many business people or any private individual may have a need to protect themselves from deliberate attack, accidents or unwanted attention. Secure Site UK can provide CPOs of the very highest calibre, many with ex-police or armed services backgrounds. All our close protection officers have a Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence and have undergone intensive checks through the Criminal Records Bureau. They also hold a first aid at work qualification recognised by the SIA and have passed a Level 3 close protection qualification approved by the SIA. CPOs often have specialist training in tactics, unarmed combat and tactical driving as well as advanced firearms training.
