Key features of security and guarding services

SIA accreditation

All officers hold a Security Industry Authority (SIA) license. To qualify, they’ll have demonstrated the full range of skills — communication, first aid, emergency response and dispute resolution among them.

Straightforward pricing

There are no hidden costs. After discussing what’s required, we’ll provide a fixed quote. We stick to this, without charging extra and presenting you with a large unexpected bill.

Flexible options

The service can be standalone or used as support for your existing security staff. It can be for a one-off event, ad hoc or for the long term. It’s up to you.

K9 security

Dog patrols offer a visible deterrent, rapid threat detection and ultra-fast pursuit abilities. If you’re responsible for vacant premises or a construction site, K9 security is a cost-effective option.

Mobile officers

Mobile patrols give you affordable, proactive risk management. They’ll check for potential security vulnerabilities and maintenance hazards, both inside and outside the building.

Peace of mind

Professional security personnel deliver peace of mind. They provide a deterrent to criminals, a rapid response to security threats and a reassuring presence for your staff.

FAQs

You may have some questions about hiring security officers. We’ve answered some of the most common questions here, although please feel free to call us on 0844 561 0578.

Are your officers licensed?

Yes. All officers hold a Security Industry Authority (SIA) license. They also receive ongoing CPD-accredited training specific to their roles.

As well as being SIA-trained, all officers are vetted in accordance with BS7858 standards. They’ll always carry out their duties with diligence and respect for your staff, assets and property.

Which types of property can you provide manned guarding for?

Manned guarding can be for virtually any type of commercial property. Offices, vacant premises, construction sites, warehouses, retail outlets, car parks or more.

To check if your premises can be covered, call the CSG team on 0844 561 0578.

 

Does the service have to be full time, static guarding?

Not at all. You may need security officers for a single event, for covering out-of-hours and over the weekend, or just every now and then.

It could be that mobile patrols are the best option for you. They travel around between different sites and can attend the property at any time — for example, when it’s most vulnerable to crime, or only in response to an alarm being triggered.

Is it OK for officers to wear our own branded uniform?

Yes. While our officers have a standard-issue CSG uniform, we’re happy to provide customised uniforms.

Will your officers liaise with the emergency services if required?

If the situation requires a blue light response, yes they will. What’s more, because the callout has come from an accredited security company, the emergency response can be faster. They know it’s a genuine emergency, not a false alarm.
