Security officer hire, a service tailored for Sussex

When it comes to crime, Sussex has its own set of risks. The county’s urban retailers face theft on an almost daily basis, while its rural areas present multiple targets for criminals — including vacant rural sites and solar farms.

CSG’s security officer hire lessens the risks faced by Sussex businesses. For example, we can deliver:

  • Manned guarding for Sussex retailers, from local shops to major shopping centres
  • Mobile patrols — frequent yet random rural patrols to reduce a criminal’s window of opportunity
  • Dog patrols, or K9 security — the ideal combination of highly-trained dog and experienced human handler

CSG has been based in Sussex since 1947, so we’re established experts in security measures tailored to your area. For advice on the most affordable options, call us on 08445 610 578.

Manned guarding for Sussex businesses

SG provides manned guarding services for virtually every type of commercial property in Sussex.

You may need manned guarding on a long-term or short-term basis, for a one-off hire or at specific times of the day or night. There are a number of affordable options available. For example:

  • Reception security gives you a discreet security presence, access control, plus a meet and greet service
  • Stewarding at one-off events protects attendees and deters criminal behaviour
  • Keyholding services, where officers investigate and respond to intruder alarms on your behalf
  • An open and lock-up service which protects staff, property and assets
  • Mobile security patrols deliver protection and a 24/7 response for premises spread over a wide area
  • K9 security, or dog patrols, where a security officer and security dog work together as a team

Manned guarding is commonly used across Sussex for:

  • Retail premises and shopping environments
  • Offices and commercial buildings
  • Construction and development sites
  • Warehouses and logistics hubs
  • Vacant or partially occupied properties
  • Public-facing sites

Coverage can be provided on a permanent basis, overnight only, or at specific times of increased risk.
