There are a number of different ways that you can make it clear to the general public that security is something you take very seriously in your business. The most effective way will always be with manned guarding -- nothing is more effective at deterring crime than trained, professional and trustworthy individuals on-site, ready to react should suspicious behaviour need further investigation. Should your budget not allow for manned guarding at your business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, there are a number of other measures you can take.
Clear signage
Whether you choose to opt for constant manned guarding, or perhaps choose mobile patrols or CCTV operatives, having clear signage at entrances and exits, on buildings and surrounding your perimeters, letting people know that you have a contracted security company will help in reducing crime. We're currently working hard on rebranding our signage, ensuring that it portrays Carter Security Solutions are being a corporate, professional security company that is easily recognisable and that stands out from a distance. In the coming weeks and months, we hope to release this branding across all of our security signs, as well as our vans and uniform.
Concrete blockades
Sometimes, no matter how secure you think your perimeters are, trespassers will vandalise fencing, or ignored gated access to force entry. This means expensive repairs and potentially costly processes to remove individuals and their vehicles from your property. Concrete blockades can be rented from us and installed to make it extremely difficult for anyone to gain entry with their vehicle to your business premises. Our concrete blockades weigh 2.2 metric tonnes each and we can deploy these at any site in the UK.
CCTV installation
We can advise on where to place CCTV at your business as well as contract security officers to monitor it. CCTV, though it has its limitations, is a great way to visually show anyone thinking of breaking and entering that you have taken security seriously and that you're monitoring your site day and night to protect against crime. With our Carter Consultancy business, we can discuss the best CCTV systems for your type of site and assist with the installation too. With over 30 years of experience in the security industry, we will be happy to help with any questions you might have.
