Manned Guarding is our most popular security service, but what does it entail? In this article, we’ll discuss the fundamentals of Manned Guarding, including what makes for an excellent Manned Guarding Service and how can this security offering work with your business and security needs.

What makes for a great Manned Guarding security service?

First and foremost there’s the risk assessment. We can’t offer everything you need to keep your business as safe as it can be if you don’t fully understand your location, business premises and specific requirements.

We will therefore discuss your security needs at length, including options that fit within your budget. We’ll discuss the location of your business, your operational hours, and your level of risk throughout the day and/or night. Will talk about how employees and visitors gain access to your building, as well as existing security you might already have in place. This could include floodlights, high metal fencing around your perimeter, and potentially CCTV.

The industry you’re in will also impact your security needs, and we’ll offer our expert opinion on which services would best complement your security requirements.

Why choose Carter Security to provide Manned Guarding?

Once we have a contract set out, we can discuss what makes our manned guarding service so reliable.

Primarily it comes down to our core company values. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, we understand what we need to do to ensure a trustworthy and professional partnership with your business.

One of the most important factors is our security officers. We will never sub-contract, choosing instead to hire directly. This way we can ensure one-to-one interviews to ensure everyone who wears the Carter Security uniform is dedicated and qualified for the role. Many security operators choose to subcontract, but we understand just how much of a risk to quality this represents.

All of our security officers hold a valid SIA license as standard, and we support our security officers with training and professional development to further their individual careers.
