SIA Licensed Security Guards & Mobile Patrols in Peterborough
Peterborough is one of the fastest-growing cities in Eastern England. Its growing importance for freight, retail and commercial economic value is quickly changing the risk profile of the city, increasing the need for licensed, professional security solutions. ProFM Group meets those challenges with our network of locally stationed security guards.
Whether we’re deploying static guards for the retail businesses at Queensgate and Bridge Street, or sending scheduled and ad-hoc mobile patrols around sites at Fengate and the Eastern Industry estates, our highly trained security guards provide a visible deterrent and secure environment for customers.
Every officer is based locally in the area where they work, so understands the road networks and transport routes for effective response. All security guards are Security Industry Authority licensed and have passed vetting to BS7858 standards before they can be deployed on your site. We keep our teams’ skills and knowledge sharp with compulsory, ongoing training through our CPD-certified training portal, ensuring we always meet the highest standards.
Our National Operations Centre coordinates and oversees each deployment 24/7/365, despatching the nearest available officer to any incidents, maintaining our average officer response time of 30 minutes across the whole of Peterborough.
NSI Gold-Accredited CCTV & Technology-Led Security In Peterborough
We’ve invested heavily in our advanced technology security solutions, ensuring they hit the same high standards of our manned guarding. This is shown in the industry accreditations we’ve achieved across the technology catalogue.
Every CCTV installation carried out in Peterborough is certified to NSI Gold standard. Our access control and intruder alarm systems are accredited at Paxton Gold level. This applies to every system we design for your business, which always starts with a detailed site plan and risk assessment.
CCTV and alarm systems can be installed as standalone solutions. Or if you want a multi-layered system, it can be deployed alongside security guards. From monitored cameras for a Bridge Street retailer to perimeter detection at a logistics facility off the A1(M) and temporary surveillance at a development site, everything is designed from scratch and tailored to what you need.
Our mobile security services work well for sites with no fixed infrastructure or where a permanent installation isn’t needed. Solar CCTV towers, VPOD visually verified intruder alarms and ProEyez AI-assisted offer autonomous coverage of your site with a constant connection to our NOC through a worldwide SIM.
Licensed Event Security Services in Peterborough
Martyn’s Law – officially known as The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 – is now in law, having achieved Royal Assent in early 2206. And compliance for qualifying venues is expected by 2026, putting increased pressure on event security.
At ProFM Group, we’ve always worked to the standard that’s now mandated by Martyn’s Law, so you can be confident our event security services are compliant from day one.
This applies to every event on Peterborough’s busy calendar, from the licensed pubs and restaurants and exhibitions hosted at venues like The East of England Arena and Events Centre, to the outdoor events at the Embankment.
Our teams cover your full event and are on hand for all the basic needs like ticket verification, bag checks, crowd management, car park control and dismantling and removing all infrastructure after your event to leave the space as it was.
For licensed events, or those with increased risk profiles, our security experts include WAVE-trained personnel and door supervisors qualified to manage alcohol service areas.
Officer numbers can be scaled at short notice to match changing guest lists, risk profiles and venue type. We can even adjust our appearance to suit public and private functions, making ourselves a more visible point of contact, or more discreet at private functions where you prefer a lower profile of security.
