SIA-Licensed Security Guards & Mobile Patrols in Carlisle
Carlisle is the commercial capital of Cumbria, serving a rural region of about 1.1million people and acting as one of the UK’s foremost rail hubs. A visible, professional presence is critical in protecting the city’s visitor footfall and trade, and ProFM Group’s security personnel meet that need with static guarding and mobile cover.
From the retailers at The Lanes to the businesses on the Kingstown and Parkhouse Industrial Estates, our security guards provide a visible presence and active deterrent day and night. Our mobile security patrols expand security coverage across manufacturing and industrial premises along the M6, where access control and perimeter security are a must.
All security officers are locally based, hold a current licence from the Security Industry Authority, and undergo vetting to the BS7858 standard before they can be deployed. We keep our services up to date with ongoing training for all teams, alongside central coordination runs through our National Operations Centre, which is manned and active 24/7.
NSI Gold-Accredited CCTV & Technology-Led Security in Carlisle
Every CCTV system we design starts from your site plan and risk profile built from a thorough assessment. All installation work and engineering services are certified to NSI Gold standards, while our access control and intruder alarm systems are accredited to Paxton Gold level. These are the security industry’s highest quality benchmarks and are a testament to the investment we’ve made in our security technology.
From permanent installations at a city centre office to monitored networks at a distribution unit or temporary surveillance for a build site at St Cuthbert’s Garden Village, every system works as a standalone solution or can be deployed alongside manned guarding for more comprehensive protection of your assets.
This quality extends to our catalogue of temporary security services, too. Our solar CCTV towers, VPOD intruder alarms and ProEyez AI-assisted perimeter security provide fully autonomous coverage, designed around your site, without blind spots. All three connect to our NOC through a worldwide SIM and can be set up at short notice for any site across Carlisle and the wider Cumbria area.
Licensed Event Security in Carlisle
Qualifying venues have until Spring 2027 to comply with the mandatory regulations introduced under Martyn’s Law, which achieved Royal Assent in April 2025. At ProFM, we design our services with one eye on the future and already operate at the higher standards set out by the new legislation, so your event security meets the new requirements.
For a city like Carlisle, the benefits can’t be underestimated, given the varied crowds that are attracted all year round. Nearly three-quarters of a million people a year flock to The Sands Centre for its performances, while Bitts Park and Carlisle Castle have totally different risk profiles, with their calendar of outdoor events and ceremonial occasions.
Each risk profile needs a different approach, so we build your plan around your venue, expected attendance, alcohol service areas and emergency requirements. This includes scaling officer numbers at short notice if your risk profile changes on the day, ranging from high-visibility, SIA-licensed stewarding to discreet coverage for private events.
From bag and ticket checks to crowd management and car park control, to specially trained door supervisors on hand and qualified to manage alcohol service areas, our packages are fully end-to-end and built to match the city’s ever-popular events landscape.
What Security Services do ProFM Group Provide?
Security Guards
A visible, credible presence for your premises. Our security guards are fully trained, SIA-licensed, BS7858 vetted and based locally in the city with expert knowledge of the best transport routes to use when they’re called out.
Mobile Patrols
Larger sites and multi-building estates need extended coverage that static guards alone can’t provide. Our mobile patrols run scheduled and ad-hoc routes across wider industrial estates, covering more ground and providing a higher level of detection and deterrence.
Keyholding Services
Our key holding and alarm response keeps your staff away from out-of-hours call-outs and any risk that comes with them. This is one of our budget-friendly options that provides SIA-licensed guards at short notice for SMEs.
Concierge Security
Our concierge officers combine front-of-house service with SIA-licensed protection. Perfect for the city’s corporate offices where a welcoming presence alongside professional security is a must.
Canine Handlers
Some sites need a much higher level of detection and deterrence than manned guarding alone. Our NASDU-accredited canine handlers deliver just that, well-suited to industrial yards and isolated logistics sites with an increased risk profile.
Waking Watch Services
Our Waking Watch is FSE and NFCC compliant for residential and mixed-use buildings that need fire alarms and risk management by a physical watch. The service is available 24/7/365 with rapid deployment.
CCTV Installations & Monitoring
All CCTV installations are NSI Gold-accredited and AI-assisted. Every system is designed and installed around the site’s needs and monitored day and night from our NOC, underpinned by alarm activations backed by officer deployments.
