SIA Licensed Security Guards & Mobile Patrols In Leicester
ProFM Group’s security coverage – including SIA-licensed security guards and mobile patrol officers – spans Leicester’s full commercial footprint including the regenerations projects and development schemes currently transforming the city.
Static guards are positioned strategically to protect busy retail units around Highcross and Fosse Park, while a proactive approach and reactive response mobile patrol service keep close watch over manufacturing sites close to the M1 along with event security officers working around Market Place and St Martin’s.
Highly trained security guards are based in Leicester, all are SIA licensed and vetted to BS7858 standard. Ongoing training runs through our dedicated online platforms, ensuring skills and certifications are kept current. Every deployment runs through our National Operations Centre, which oversees and coordinates officers 24/7, which helps us meet an average response time of 30 minutes.
CCTV Monitoring & Technology Led Security Services
All CCTV installation and engineering work we carry out in Leicester is certified to NSI Gold standards, with access control and intruder alarm systems accredited to Paxton Gold level.
Our CCTV systems can run as a standalone deterrent or pair with manned guarding, with full oversight from our NOC and alarm activations backed by officer deployments, not just automated messages. Every installation matches your site and risk profile, whether it’s a monitored system for a Cultural Quarter office or cameras and a static officer combination at a Highcross retail unit.
For construction projects and premises with no infrastructure or power supply, our solar CCTV towers, VPOD intruder alarm systems and ProEyez AI-assisted perimeter detection connect wirelessly to our NOC through a worldwide SIM.
Martyn's Law Compliant Event Security For Leicester
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2024, known better as Martyn’s Law, is on the statute books and qualifying venues have until the expected 2027 rollout date to comply. ProFM Group has always operated to the standard now demanded by the Act, delivering fully licensed event security with SIA-licensed officers trained in crowd management, conflict de-escalation and WAVE (Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement) practices.
