SIA Licensed Security Guards & Mobile Patrols in Westminster
Few places in the country cram as much commercial, retail and public sector activity into such a small space as Westminster. Workers, shoppers and tourists all descend on this culturally relevant part of London every day, which brings a significant amount of risk across a portfolio of profiles. A visible, professional presence from licensed security guards is essential for protection and preventing crimes.
Our security guards and mobile patrols cover every aspect of Westminster’s security needs. Static officers offer a visible deterrent at Oxford Street and Victoria retailers. Mobile patrol officers provide expanded coverage around the hospitality centres of Whitehall and the West End.
ProFM provides the finest security personnel. Each is locally based, licensed by the Security Industry Authority and vetted to BS7858 standard, the highest levels of the private security services industry. Full briefings are provided so your security team arrives on site familiar with your premises and the risks they’re dealing with.
Our teams’ skills and knowledge are continually updated through our own training programme, including an online portal, which is regularly updated with new modules and courses. That’s all supported by our National Operations Centre, which coordinates and monitors every deployment 24/7/365, helping us achieve an average officer-on-site response time of 30 minutes right across the borough.
NSI Gold-Accredited CCTV & Technology-Led Security In Westminster
Modern surveillance and security technology has to hit the highest levels in an environment as busy and diverse as Westminster. While we’re known more for our manned security, we’ve invested heavily in our technology catalogue to ensure it meets these standards.
Every CCTV system we install and engineer is certified to NSI Gold standard, the highest benchmark in our industry. Access control and intruder alarm systems are accredited at Paxton Gold level. Each system works as a standalone solution, with full monitoring and alarm activation day and night coming from our NOC. For a more comprehensive package, cameras and alarm systems can be combined with static or mobile guards, providing a physical presence alongside active surveillance.
Whether it’s a fixed, monitored network around a corporate office in Victoria, or a temporary installation at a phased construction site in Paddington, we’ll design a system from scratch that fits what you need. For sites with no fixed infrastructure, our temporary and mobile options offer just as high levels of detection and deterrence.
Solar CCTV towers, VPOD visually verified intruder alarms, and ProEyez AI-assisted perimeter detection connect to our NOC through a worldwide SIM and deploy at short notice across central London.
Licensed Event Security in Westminster
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, better known as Martyn’s Law, is on the statute books, having achieved Royal Assent. And qualifying venues have until 2027 to comply with the increased event security requirements now mandatory under the law. ProFM has always worked to these higher standards.
Which, for an area like Westminster, with one of the most varied and busy event calendars in the UK, is essential. From the West End theatres and indoor licensed venues to the public events constantly coming through Parliament Square and St James’ Park, the demand for licensed event security is constant.
Our event security officers are fully SIA-licensed, while supervisory teams are trained in crowd management, conflict de-escalation and Wave (Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement) practices. Every contract covers your full event cycle. Bespoke planning, ticket verification and bag checks, crowd management, car park control and removing and packing up installations post-event, we cover everything.
You can also scale your service to meet changing guest numbers and include staff for alcohol service areas, including door supervisors with specialist qualifications. You can even request what uniforms we wear to either make us more visible or discreet, depending on the type of event you’re hosting.
What Security Services Do We Provide in Westminster?
Security Guards
Our security guards are fully trained, SIA-licensed and locally based, all vetted to BS7858 standard for deployments to retail, corporate and public sector premises around Westminster.
Mobile Patrol Services
Large and multi-building campuses can be too much for a static approach. Our mobile patrols cover more ground with scheduled and reactive patrols to provide extra levels of detection.
Keyholding Services
Have an SIA-licensed officer respond to your site within 30 minutes at any time, day or night, instead of attending yourself. Our key holding and alarm response service is a cost-effective option for SMEs.
Concierge Officers
Combine a client-facing front-of-house with SIA-licensed protection. Our concierge security works well for corporate offices around Victoria and the West End.
Canine Handlers
When you need more than a standard human presence, our dog team – which includes NASDU-accredited canine handlers – bring heightened levels of detection and deterrence that work well for construction compounds and isolated logistics yards.
Waking Watch Services
If your fire safety systems need to be backed by a physical watch, our Waking Watch service, fully FSE and NFCC compliant, can be deployed quickly 24/7/365.
CCTV Installations
Our CCTV systems are NSI Gold-accredited and backed by AI. Every system is designed, installed and continuously monitored by our NOC, giving you verified, real-time oversight of your site.

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.

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.

They are all different, Megan has such a considered and calming way with people, Mark brings maturity and strength to the team and Abdullah is incredibly focussed and is relentless in his pursuit and protection of shoplifters. 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!
