Home to nearly 5,000 businesses and with a visitor economy attracting around seven million people to the city every year, Oxford has a concentration of high-value assets, tourist footfall and commercial activity that needs a visible and professional security response. Exactly what ProFM delivers.
From static security guards at Westgate or the Covered Market to mobile patrols around the Science Park or Business Park, our SIA-licensed security guards deliver the proactive, professional security services a historic city like Oxford demands.
Every package we deliver is built around your specific site plans, industry and risk profile with licensed and BS7858 vetted security personnel ready to deploy at a moment’s notice, with coordination from our National Operations Centre, which is active 24/7/365.
And thanks to our extensive local knowledge, we’re able to deliver an average officer-on-site time of just 30 minutes anywhere in Oxford.
Diverse cities like Oxford, with its blend of commercial and cultural landmarks and high tourist levels, need a technology approach to security that can keep up and provide reliable deterrents or information when incidents occur.
All electronic security measures are carried out to the highest security industry standards. Whether that’s NSI Gold certified for our CCTV installations and engineering work, or Paxton Gold standard for access control and intruder alarm systems.
Whatever technology-led system you need, everything is supported by continuous monitoring from our NOC and alarm activations are answered by officer deployments and attendance within 30 minutes.
For technology-only installations, we include on-site audio alarms and can also notify emergency services of incidents if needed.
What you can be sure of is that every CCTV and technology-based security system we deliver is tailored specifically to your site and risk profile. It could be permanent installations at corporate offices in Jericho or CCTV and mobile security patrols around Oxford Science Park.
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2005, better known as Martyn’s Law, is now in law and qualifying venues are expected to be compliant with the new regulations by 2027. ProFM Group has always met the higher standards that the new Act demands, so customers can be confident in the event security services they’re getting.
Oxford’s events include everything from commercial to ceremonial celebrations, and our event security packages are fully adaptable to meet the risks and public image you want to portray.
All our security guards deployed on the ground receive regular training and hold a current SIA licence, while our supervisor teams receive comprehensive training on managing crowd behaviour, de-escalating and preventing conflicts and Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement (WAVE).
We can cover the full lifecycle of your event, from carrying out the initial risk assessment and on-day planning, to ticket verification, bag searches, crowd management and car park control. After your event, we handle the full de-mobilisation to clear the area back to how it was.
If your event involves alcohol, we can include door supervisors who are qualified to manage alcohol service areas, and we can also scale officer numbers at short notice to match changing guest lists or attendance numbers on the day.
Working with ProFM as your trusted Oxford security company gives you access to experienced security personnel with expert knowledge of the city, and delivers security services around the South East.
