Who we are

One company for the whole site.

Most sites end up juggling several suppliers: one for guards, another for the alarm, someone else for cameras. We'd rather be the one number you ring.

Our officers work building sites, shop floors, venue doors, office receptions and residential lobbies. When a site needs more than a person on the gate, we add CCTV, access control or a dog team.

Dog-and-handler work is where we started, and it still sets the tone. Handlers learn to read a site closely, write everything down and stay calm when something happens. We expect the same from every officer we put out.

How we approach a site

Look first. Then plan the cover.

No two sites carry the same risk, so we don't sell a fixed package. These points shape every contract. The step-by-step detail is on our How we work page.

  1. 01Walk the siteWe visit, look at gates, fences, doors, blind spots and the hours that worry you most.
  2. 02Pick the right peopleA busy bar door needs different skills from an empty office block. We match the officer to the job.
  3. 03Back them with kitCameras, alarms and access control where they help, so officers spend their time where it counts.
  4. 04Brief properlyEvery officer gets written site instructions, contacts and escalation steps before the first shift.
  5. 05Report clearlyPatrol logs every shift and written incident reports, so you can see what was checked and what happened.

Systems & installations

Kit that works with our officers.

We design, fit and look after security systems for homes and businesses. It starts with a survey, then we set the system up around your layout, test it, show you how it works and keep it maintained.

K9 welfare

  3. 03Care on shiftGrooming kit and treats in the van, and a handler who knows what their dog needs.
  4. 04Handler in controlOur dogs always work under their handler's control, as UK law requires for guard dogs.

“Trained dogs. Trusted handlers. Total protection.”
