SIA-Licensed Security Guards & Mobile Patrols in Southport
With nearly £100m being invested in this historic seaside town, the growing scale of investment, visitor footfall, and retail activity demands security services that are reliable and adaptable to a range of contract types and sectors. ProFM Group answer that demand with security guards and mobile patrol officers who know and understand the local area.
Every officer we deploy in Southport, from our static officers guarding the retailers along Lord Street and Chapel Street, to our mobile security patrols covering the wider commercial and industrial estates, is SIA-licensed and vetted to BS7858 standards, the toughest in the security industry.
All deployments are overseen and coordinated in real-time, 24/7 by our National Operations Centre. This, combined with locally based officers who have expert knowledge of key transport routes around Southport, gives us an average officer-on-site time of just 30 minutes for all callouts. Whatever level of security you need, we’ll purpose-build a package designed for your premises and risk profile.
NSI Gold-Accredited CCTV & Technology-Led Security in Southport
Every CCTV and technology installation we carry out in Southport is designed from your site plans and built around your actual risk profile, giving you total coverage with no blind spots for a system that acts both as a physical deterrent and a vital detection tool.
All of our security technology solutions meet the highest benchmarks the security industry sets. All CCTV installation and engineering work is certified to NSI Gold standards, and intruder alarm systems are accredited to Paxton Gold level. Our technology-led security solutions work as a standalone system or can be deployed quickly alongside any type of manned guarding to provide an additional layer of security.
Everything is connected to and monitored by our NOC around the clock, with alarm activations answered by officer deployments. If you only have a temporary need for CCTV, or have no infrastructure for a permanent installation, our solar CCTV towers, VPOD intruder alarms and ProEyez AI-assisted perimeter detection give you autonomous coverage and connect to our NOC using a worldwide SIM.
Licensed Event Security in Southport
Qualifying venues have until 2027 to comply with new, mandatory event security requirements as part of Martyn’s Law, which passed through Parliament this year. ProFM Group has always worked to the standard the Act demands, so you’re covered ahead of the deadline when working with us.
And our event security packages are adaptable to the varied needs of Southport’s event calendar. Whether we’re activating manned guarding for The Southport Flower Show and its 55,000 visitors, The Southport Air Show or covering any of Southport’s year-round theatre and live music events.
We build every event security plan around your venue and risk profile. This extends to specially trained officers who are qualified to manage alcohol serving areas, and we can even adapt officer uniforms to make our presence more or less known depending on the nature of your event. A detailed risk assessment is carried out before our security guards are deployed. Door supervision, crowd management, ticket and bag checks, car park control and conflict management are all covered. And our teams include WAVE (Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement) trained security specialists.
