SIA Licensed Security Guards & Mobile Patrols in Northumberland
Spanning more than 5,000 square kilometres, Northumberland is the largest county in England. The size and scope of protection needed in this growing area are why professional, visible security guards are a must, deterring crimes and ensuring safety even in the most rural locations.
At ProFM, we cover the entire range of security needs. Static officers, strategically positioned at fixed points, provide visible deterrence at retail units around Manor Walks in Cramlington, while scheduled and ad-hoc mobile patrol services cover dispersed sites like the energy and port operations in Blyth, as well as manufacturing estates at Ashington. Each package is matched to your site, so you get the level of protection you need.
And you can be confident in the credentials of the personnel keeping you safe. Every officer in Northumberland is licensed by the Security Industry Authority and vetted to BS7858 standard, the highest standards in our industry. Our officers are based locally too, so know the best routes and traffic networks to take when speed is of the essence.
CCTV Monitoring & Electronic Security Systems In Northumberland
Every CCTV installation and engineering job we carry out in Northumberland is certified to NSI Gold standards, with access control and intruder alarm systems accredited to Paxton Gold level. These are the highest benchmarks the security industry sets, and ensure a single-camera system designed for a Hexham town-centre shopfront performs to the same standard as a complex network protecting a manufacturing plant at Cramlington.
Electronic security systems all work as standalone solutions, or can be paired with manned guarding for a more comprehensive package. Regardless of what you decide, monitoring runs 24/7 from our National Operations Centre, with alarm activations answered by officer deployments within 30 minutes.
Our catalogue spans mobile electronic security too. Solar CCTV towers, VPOD visually verified alarms and ProEyez AI perimeter detection provide accredited security at sites with no fixed infrastructure or power supply, deploying quickly and connecting to our NOC wirelessly using a worldwide SIM.
Licensed Event Security Services in Northumberland
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, known better as Martyn’s Law, is on the statute books, with qualifying premises having until 2027 to comply with the stricter event security requirements the legislation places on them.
We already operate to the Act’s standards, so our event security teams remove any compliance concerns you could have about our service.
This shouldn’t be underestimated in Northumberland, with its array of indoor and outdoor events. From the Lindisfarne Festival near Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle’s heritage weekend festivals and the Northumberland County Show at Bywell, every event carries a unique risk profile, so we build our services around you.
All the basics are covered as standard, including your risk assessment and planning, along with on-the-day ticket verification and bag checks, crowd management and parking control. If your event is licensed, we have WAVE-trained officers and door supervisors qualified to manage alcohol serving areas.
