SIA-Licensed Security Guards & Mobile Patrols in Birkenhead
You can’t underestimate the need for a visible security presence in an area seeing as much regeneration and investment as Birkenhead. Wirral Waters alone is driving around £1 billion into the former dockland with further commercial investment incoming. But that scale of development brings increased risks of opportunistic crimes in heavy footfall retail areas, and trespass and liability dangers in industrial zones.
From security guards and mobile patrol officers, we provide tailored security solutions that cover the full reach and risk profile of the town. Whether it’s industrial security at logistics premises along the New Chester Road, customer-facing guards at a St Werburgh’s Square unit or gatehouse cover and overnight patrols across vacant development plots.
We scale all our security guard services to match your business’s demands in one package, with every security guard holding a current Security Industry Authority licence and vetted to the security industry’s strictest BS7858 standards.
NSI Gold-Accredited CCTV & Technology-Led Security in Birkenhead
Our commitment to professional security services isn’t limited to manned security. We’ve put just as much investment into our technology-led security services in Birkenhead, too.
We deploy cutting-edge technology in our CCTV systems, which are all designed and installed based on a thorough assessment of your site plan, ensuring complete coverage without blind spots. All CCTV installations are certified to NSI Gold standards, and access control and intruder alarms are accredited to Paxton Gold level, whether it’s a monitored CCTV network for a unit in the town centre, or an intruder alarm system for a manufacturing site near the docks.
This quality is consistent in our mobile CCTV solutions, designed for sites with no fixed infrastructure or those with only temporary security needs. Our solar CCTV towers, VPOD visually verified intruder alarms, and ProEyez AI perimeter detection give you full coverage with no mains supply. All three connect to the NOC through a worldwide SIM and are ready to deploy at short notice as either a standalone solution or in addition to a manned security package.
Licensed Event Security Guard Services in Birkenhead
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, better known as Martyn’s Law, has received Royal Assent, bringing with it mandatory compliance standards that qualifying venues must meet by 2027.
ProFM is ahead of the curve and already works to the standard the Act now demands, so you’re not starting from behind when you bring us in. Each event needs a different plan, and our event security teams build one around your venue, your expected attendance and your alcohol service areas.
Our officers cover everything from before guests arrive, with bespoke security planning to on-the-day event security essentials like ticket verification, bag searches, crowd management, car park control and full post-event demobilisation. And we can be as visible as you need us to be, with uniformed officers giving guests a clear point of contact or more discreet officers providing security for private functions.
