Bournemouth is no longer only the traditional seaside resort it used to be. Hundreds of millions of new investment in mixed-use construction, housing and leisure, along with more than £300 million in a major finance campus, has transformed Bournemouth from a visitor town into a bustling centre of finance, retail and development.
With this change comes the need for national security services providing visible coverage, coupled with genuine local knowledge.
ProFM Group’s SIA-licensed security guards and mobile patrol officers operate across the full scope of Bournemouth’s commercial and visitor economy. From static security personnel for the office buildings and retail operators at Castlepoint Shopping Park and the town centre, mobile patrols serving the corporate and financial services offices in the Lansdowne district, and specialist packages for the 200-plus businesses at Aviation Business Park near Bournemouth Airport, we build every package around the environment and risk profile we work in.
Every officer we deploy for our South West security services, including Bournemouth, is locally based and vetted to BS:7858 standard. Our National Operations Centre coordinates all deployments in real time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and our average officer-on-site response time is 30 minutes.
Bournemouth’s changing risk profile demands a higher level of industry-leading security technology. And that’s something ProFM has been investing in for years, proven by the rigorous quality benchmarks our technology systems adhere to.
All Bournemouth CCTV installation is certified to NSI Gold standards, with access control and intruder alarm systems accredited at Paxton Gold level. This applies to both permanent systems and temporary deployments.
Security cameras and CCTV monitoring work as a standalone solution or alongside manned guarding with 24/7 monitoring from our National Operations Centre, backed by officer deployments in the event of an incident.
We design every technology security solution around your site and profile, whether it’s a permanent system along the town centre or a corporate headquarters in the Lansdowne business district, or installation of our solar CCTV towers, VPOD intruder alarms or ProEyex AI perimeter detection for temporary security requirements at sites with no fixed infrastructure, connected to our NOC through a worldwide SIM.
While Bournemouth’s economic profile has changed drastically in the last decade, its popularity as an events hotspot remains. The town regularly attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors a year with venues like the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre and The Bournemouth International Centre – the south coast’s largest conference and entertainment venue.
Securing such a varied events calendar has always provided challenges, but with Martyn’s Law now in force and qualifying venues expected to be compliant with the stricter rules by 2027, robust security is now a legal requirement. ProFM’s comprehensive security solutions have always met the highest standards of the new law, so our customers know they’re already covered.
Our specialist event security packages include SIA licensed guards and senior teams highly trained in crowd behaviour, conflict management and Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement practices. We cover your event end-to-end, from the initial risk assessment to full demobilisation. Our capabilities include ticket verifications and bag searches, crowd management and car park control, and alcohol area management for licensed or private events.
Our fully trained, SIA-licensed security officers are ideal for businesses in need of a physical presence, like the retail, corporate, hospitality, and logistics premises across Bournemouth. All officers are locally based and vetted to BS:7858 standard.
For larger sites where it’s not practical to cover with static guarding alone, our scheduled and reactive mobile patrols ensure you have the physical deterrent along with rapid response.
Have officers on your site within 30 minutes of an incident report with our Security Industry Authority-licensed key holding and alarm response. A cost-effective option for Bournemouth’s independent businesses and SMEs.
Blend professional security with a more friendly, customer-facing experience with our concierge security that’s ideal for the corporate and financial services offices in the Lansdowne district and the professional services sector across the town.
NASDU-accredited canine security services providing a heightened level of deterrence for construction sites, logistics yards, and industrial premises on the outskirts of the town.
Our FSE and NFCC-compliant Waking Watch is available 24/7/365, combining a manned presence with rapid deployment for fire safety requirements at Bournemouth’s residential and mixed-use developments.
Get complete coverage of your premises with AI-assisted monitoring and surveillance that’s designed, installed and continuously monitored from our NOC. All systems are accredited to NSI Gold standard.
Solar CCTV towers, VPOD intruder alarm systems, and ProEyez AI perimeter detection for construction sites and premises without fixed electricity infrastructure.

Arena Business Centres
ProFM have taken over the CCTV monitoring for 12 of our locations. The team have handled the process smoothly and efficiently, and we are confident that we are in safe hands. There has been consistent communication between us and the National Operations Centre, and they have taken a lot of the pain away from us and our team.
