Despite the advances in surveillance technology, such as remotely-monitored CCTV cameras, video-verified alarms, and the remote tracking of commercial assets, much of the work we do is handled by our on-site security staff.
This is what most people think of when they think of security solutions – trained professionals in uniform, walking round a property to make sure everything is safe and secure. Here at Marpol Security, we supply companies across the UK with manned security personnel and they fulfil a wide variety of roles.
In this article, we will take a brief look at some of the ways they can benefit your business or organisation.
Static security
Static security is another term for manned security and refers to any security guards stationed at a particular location. This could be in a corporate office environment, a museum or art gallery, at a construction site, or anywhere else you need our assistance. Their specific duties may differ from job to job, but they generally include keeping a watchful eye on visitors to your premises for any suspect activity, preventing unwanted guests from entering the site, and so on. As trained security professionals, they will intervene at the earliest opportunity to prevent the situation from escalating.
Hourly patrols
Manned security guards also perform hourly patrols of your premises to ensure all is well. We will work with you to determine the most efficient patrol path, posting QR codes along the route that our officers will scan each time they pass on patrol. These codes will log both the patrol route and performance data. This is a proactive approach to on-site security, keeping our security guards alert at all times.
Night patrol staff
Some sites also require security outside of working hours, particularly if their property is a tempting target for would-be thieves. Our night security staff perform frequent patrols of your premises and their grounds, both inside and out. They are an effective deterrent against intruders and are fully trained to apprehend any unwanted visitors.
Concierge security
Concierge security (also known as front-of-house security) takes the traditional role of manned security officers and combines it with a receptionist role. Our security staff will be seated at your reception area, providing a range of additional duties alongside their main security role. These could include making announcements, checking ID, assigning visitor passes and car park spaces, and more.
Site security
Manned security guards are popular on construction sites, restoration projects, and other large-scale builds. They can prevent unauthorised access during the day by checking visitor passes and identification, as well as providing full coverage of the site at night to prevent would-be trespassers from entering the site.
Vacant property security
We provide several services for looking after void and vacant properties, such as roller shutter installations and regular checks by our mobile patrol units. If the building in question contains valuable stock or equipment that you have yet to dispose of, you may wish for a full-time security presence. We can provide you with night and day security staff to guard your vacant property in shifts, ensuring round-the-clock protection.
Tailored on-site security solutions
Here at Marpol Security, we know that no two businesses will have identical security requirements. That’s why we offer bespoke on-site security arrangements for all of our clients, carefully tailored to meet your specific needs. We work closely with you and your team to ensure the ideal security solution, offering full protection and value for money.
