MANNED GUARDING

Home

Manned guarding services in the UK refer to the provision of security personnel who are physically present on a site or location to provide protection, surveillance, and control. These services involve the deployment of trained and licensed security officers to safeguard premises, assets, people, and information against theft, vandalism, sabotage, intrusion, and other security risks.

Manned guarding services are commonly used by businesses, government agencies, residential complexes, and event organizers to ensure the safety and security of their premises, staff, and visitors. The security personnel are responsible for monitoring access points, checking identification, conducting patrols, responding to incidents, and deterring criminal activity.

Manned guarding services can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the client and can range from single officers stationed at a small retail outlet to a team of security personnel deployed to a high-profile corporate headquarters or public event. The officers are trained to handle various situations and can provide a range of services, including crowd control, access control, first aid, fire safety, and emergency response.

In the UK, manned guarding services are regulated by the Security Industry Authority (SIA), which sets standards for the training and licensing of security personnel. Companies providing manned guarding services must be licensed by the SIA and comply with relevant legislation, such as the Private Security Industry Act 2001 and the Data Protection Act 2018.
