Expert Security Services In Preston

It can be difficult to see the benefits of choosing professional security, but these often far outweigh the initial costs. A highly visible, proactive security presence is the most effective way to minimise criminal activity, as well as conveying that right impression – you care about your people, your property and your community, and security helps demonstrate that.

While that can vary based on your site and the unique demands that come with it, we’ve found that there’s an unchanging core suite of duties you can expect from a security guard. Those include:

• Securing any and all access points to your premises, including any reception areas
• Performing regularly scheduled and spontaneous patrols
• Keeping and maintaining a log of all site visitors and deliveries
• Making proactive use of on-site CCTV to watch over the whole site at any time
• De-escalating any conflicts and delivering an appropriate response where needed

While we’re always going to advise planning your security in advance, we know that’s not always possible. Emergencies can happen, and ProFM are more than able to adapt, offering a same-day response in the majority of circumstances, or the next day if that’s not possible.

All of the CCTV we provide, as well as your existing cameras in the majority of circumstances, will be monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in our state-of-the-art Control Room. That’s staffed around the clock by SIA-accredited professionals, who’ve had extensive training in threat detection, and can deploy a response the instant a disturbance is detected.

As an overall rule, we tend to recommend at least 1 security officer for every 100 – 150 guests expected to attend. That can change, however, depending on key factors, including whether you’ll be serving alcohol, and the size and scope of the venue you’re hosting at.

With a proven track record as the UK’s leader in professional security, we’re thrilled to offer one of the most robust suites of security services nationwide. That includes:

• Both mobile and static manned security solutions
• Specialist options that include canine handling units and close protection officers
• SIA-licensed event security officers
• Comprehensive CCTV suites, including full, 24/7/365 monitoring
• Affordable key holding, alarm response, and lock & unlock packages

All of our officers – whether that’s for a one-off event, emergency security cover, or a long-term contract – are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). We view this as the gold standard for our sector, and couple that with a strict 5-year vetting and screening process to ensure you’re getting the best value for your investment.

We can’t give a timeframe for your bespoke install without first knowing more about your site. While our mobile options – an ideal fit for temporary works or construction sites – can be set up in a day or two, more permanent options will naturally take longer. We’ll always work alongside you to create an appropriate installation schedule that minimises disruption.

We can offer bespoke, comprehensive solutions for the majority of events in the calendar. While we don’t currently offer security for clubs, pubs, bars, and house parties, we’ve got extensive experience in securing:

• Weddings and other celebrations
• Events in the hospitality, leisure and retail sectors
• Festivals, markets, and other outdoor events
• Corporate and charity events
• Shows and concerts

We’re thrilled to be able to offer completely bespoke solutions for all of the security we provide. While this does mean we can’t give you an idea of price without knowing more about you and your site, it always means you get the security you need, at a price that suits you.
