RISK MANAGEMENT SECURITY SERVICES

We understand that security services for residential and private estates should prioritise both security and the comfort of residents. This applies to manned guarding, mobile patrols and keyholding/alarm response services.

Keyholding and alarm response services for a private estate are essential to provide peace of mind for residents, property owners, and estate managers by ensuring that the property is monitored 24/7 and any security breaches are dealt with quickly and effectively.

Mobile security patrol services for a private estate offer a dynamic and flexible approach to security, ensuring that the estate is actively monitored and protected. Unlike static guards who are based at one site, our mobile patrol teams provide regular and/or random inspections of many sites. This method enhances security through deterrence, vigilance, and rapid response capabilities. Mobile patrols include checks of the perimeter, common areas, vehicles buildings and access/egress points.

Security guarding for a private estate plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, security, and privacy of residents, visitors, and the property itself. We are able to recruit and deploy security teams that are specifically selected for the unique requirements at each assignment.

The presence of our professional security personnel is a deterrent to potential intruders, while also providing a sense of safety and peace of mind for residents. Below is an overview of the key considerations and services related to providing security guards for a private estate:

• Access Control: Security guards manage access, ensuring that only authorised individuals (residents, staff, guests) can enter. They check the identification of visitors, contractors, and delivery personnel, verify appointments, and ensure that security procedures are followed at all times
• Patrol Duties: Security guards regularly patrol, including the perimeter, common areas, parking areas, buildings, and access/egress points. This helps deter criminal activity, identify any security risks, and ensure that all areas of the estate remain secure. Patrols can be conducted on foot, by vehicle, or using both methods depending on the estate’s layout.
• CCTV Monitoring: Guards often monitor CCTV cameras, alarm systems, and other surveillance equipment. They observe live feeds and respond to any unusual activity or security breaches, including activating alarms and alerting the appropriate authorities.
• Incident Management and Reporting: In the event of a security incident or emergency, security guards are trained to respond quickly and efficiently. They document and report incidents such as unauthorised entry, disturbances, or property damage to the property owners, estate management or authorities.
• Emergency Response: Guards will be trained in emergency procedures such as evacuations, medical assistance, and dealing with fire alarms or security breaches. They are responsible for managing initial responses to emergencies until further support (e.g. emergency services) arrives.
• Customer Service: Security guards are often the first point of contact for residents, guests, or contractors and will be courteous, professional, and willing to assist with various needs, while maintaining the estate’s security requirements.
