SIA-licensed Security Guards & Mobile Patrols in Hackney
Hackney represents a unique fusion of historic Victorian architecture and modern, high-growth urban development. With a dense, diverse population of nearly 260,000, the borough is a significant economic hub that blends corporate offices, independent retail, and a world-renowned creative economy. The area demands a security approach that respects its distinct character, from the tech and creative clusters of Hackney Wick and the Here East campus to the expansive public spaces of Victoria Park and the busy transit points at Dalston Junction.
ProFM delivers comprehensive guarding solutions in Hackney and London tailored to these varying landscapes. Every team member is SIA-licensed, has completed the rigorous BS7858 vetting process and operates under the supervision of our National Operations Centre (NOC). We possess the local insight to deploy the right personnel for a high-end corporate reception in Shoreditch or a logistics-focussed patrol in the north of the borough, ensuring your site remains secure at all times.
NSI Gold-Accredited Security Technology & CCTV in Hackney
We maintain NSI Gold accreditation across all technical engineering and system installations. With Paxton Gold status for our access control and intruder alarm deployments, every solution is supported by continuous 24/7 monitoring via our NOC. We understand that a perimeter surveillance strategy for a creative studio complex in Hackney Wick requires a completely different technical footprint than a managed access system for a boutique office block in London Fields. Rather than applying off-the-shelf templates, we design bespoke CCTV installations and technical architecture tailored to your specific building and operational workflow.
For sites currently undergoing development or premises where mains power is unavailable, we deploy flexible temporary security technology. This includes solar-powered CCTV masts, VPOD-verified intruder alarms, and AI-driven ProEyez perimeter monitoring, all connected via global SIM technology. These systems provide high-level security wherever you need it, regardless of the site’s current power infrastructure.
SIA-Licensed Event Security Guard Services in Hackney
The borough hosts an exceptionally busy events calendar. From the high-energy nightlife found in Shoreditch and Dalston to large-scale community gatherings at Hackney Marshes, the demand for sophisticated crowd management is constant.
In alignment with Martyn’s Law, all qualifying venues and event organisers have a legal duty to provide robust, professionally planned security arrangements. Our SIA-licensed event security officers specialise in crowd control, conflict resolution and the implementation of WAVE (Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement) protocols, providing full coverage from the initial risk assessment through to the conclusion of your event.

It’s fair to say that, since the Grenfell disaster in 2017, fire safety has taken on an entirely new level of importance. That’s something we’ve built a comprehensive familiarity with, and with our fast-acting and robust mobilisation at Berwick Court in Southwark, we were able to deliver a comprehensive, multi-officer solution at a moment’s notice.

Facilities Manager at Motion Picture Solutions
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all. Special thanks to Scott, who has been the best person to work with. Really couldn’t ask for a better manager to look after us. Huge thank you to our officers who have been the best security we have ever had. Both were always early before the shift starts and always dealt with any issues perfectly.

I walk through WDF a number of times a day and have been so impressed by the proactive, inquisitive mindset and courage these employees show.

The three of them are a credit to your organisation, they are professional and well respected by the staff in WDF. I just wanted to pass on a word of thanks because they are exceptional!
