An Overview Of Cumbrian Crime Statistics

  • 73.1 Crimes Per 1,000 Residents
  • 36,926 Total Criminal Offences
  • The 161st Most Dangerous Area Of The UK
  • 3,947 Criminal Damage & Arson Offences
  • 2,422 Shoplifting Offences
  • 443 Commercial Burglaries

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common reason for choosing to partner with security professionals is protection. Not only does a visible, overt security presence help deter criminals and trespassers, but it’s also a shining example of your commitment to a safer Cumbria. That’s particularly important, given the area’s popularity with tourism and its rising reputation as an industrial hub.

Our reputation as the UK’s #1 security company hasn’t stemmed from just one service delivered expertly – we’re able to offer equally exceptional options across a range of services, including:

  • Security guarding, with both mobile and static personnel
  • Canine handling, close protection, and other specialist solutions
  • Cutting-edge options for CCTV installation and round-the-clock monitoring
  • Fully licensed and vetted event security officers
  • Budget-conscious solutions for locking and unlocking, alarm response, and key holding

These often depend on the type of your site, and what you’d need your security professionals to do (a hotel, for instance, might need their guards to help guests check in). However, as a general rule, you can expect a security officer to:

  • Conduct routine patrols and “sweeps” of the premises to ensure full site security
  • Monitor all access points at your site or event, including windows and doors
  • Utilise on-site CCTV and other technology to ensure proactive detection
  • Keep a log of all visitors, guests and deliveries
  • Respond quickly and professionally to all disturbances, and address them accordingly

We’ve been committed to the highest possible quality since our inception nearly 30 years ago. A huge part of that is the people we employ, and we enforce those standards by only deploying officers who are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) and who have passed our in-depth vetting and screening checks.

We know that emergencies can and do happen, and as a leading security company, we strive to respond rapidly, but never at the detriment of professionalism. In the majority of circumstances, we can have an officer on your site on the same day (in as little as an hour in some cases).

As you might expect, this depends on a few different factors, such as how many cameras you need, the complexity of the installation, and the size and availability of your site. While our mobile solutions (designed for construction projects) can be set up and connected in a day, more complex installations will need to be completed on a schedule that works for you.

All of the cameras we install connect via secure Internet to our state-of-the-art National Operations Centre. From here, they’re monitored by our team of trained, SIA-licensed professionals constantly – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They’re able to deploy an appropriate response at the first sign of any issue, with an officer on-site in just 30 minutes on average.

Our extensive network of SIA-licensed officers means we’re able to offer expert, ultra-professional security for a huge range of events, including:

  • Weddings, civil ceremonies and other special occasions
  • Festivals, fairs, and other outdoor celebrations
  • Events across leisure and hospitality
  • Shows and concerts, including those in live performance venues

The only events we don’t currently offer coverage for are house parties and those held in pubs, clubs and bars.

In our experience, we’ve found that the right ratio of security to guests tends to be 1 security officer per 100 – 150 guests expected in attendance. This can change based on key factors, such as whether you plan to serve alcohol.

All of the security solutions we deliver are fully tailored to suit your unique site or event, and we provide specially designed quotations to match those demands. This means we can’t offer an idea of price without knowing more about your specific site.
