LinkedInHow we prepare every officer
A security officer is only as good as the checks behind them. Before an officer works on one of our sites, we confirm the basics and then brief them properly, because an officer who does not understand your building cannot protect it.

Looking after our own people
Much of our work happens at night, outdoors and in bad weather, and it is physical work. We plan schedules with proper breaks and adequate relief, brief officers on what a site involves before they arrive, and keep a named supervisor available to them. A team that is looked after turns up on time, stays calm under pressure and does the job properly.

Yes. Every officer we deploy holds a valid SIA licence, which we check on the SIA register. Our teams include both male and female officers.
Do you employ officers directly or use subcontractors?
Our officers are employed directly on PAYE and we are fully insured, so the team on your site answers to us and to you.
Can we request male or female officers for our venue?
Yes. Tell us what suits your premises and your customers and we will match the team to it, whether that is door supervision, reception cover or a welfare-focused role.
