We are also able to offer dual role responsibilities such as fire safety and first aid, keeping your environment safe and your stock secure.

Our clients create a challenging role for our guards, so we have trained our guards to deal with the complexities surrounding these sites. It is necessary for the guard to take a friendly approach and engage with their community but to always stay alert and vigilant to danger to safeguard the staff and customers.

To monitor the quality and integrity of our service we ensure that all our security officers:

• Are SIA Licensed
• Are fully trained and vetted to BS 7858 standards
• DBS checked
• Complete Communication, Literacy & Numeracy tests
• Carry I.D Badges
• Wear full identifiable security uniforms
• Undergo a comprehensive training programme

We believe in providing excellent customer service to our clients along with best security service.

Our Security officers will

• Greet visitors to the premises in a friendly and courteous manner
• Carry out his/her duties in a professional and courteous manner
• Use moderate language, which is not defamatory or abusive, when dealing with members of the public and colleagues

A G3 Security Officer is responsible for:

• Guarding premises against unauthorised access, occupation, disorder, or damage
• Guarding property against destruction, damage, or theft
• Guarding people against assault or other injuries sustained by the unlawful conduct of others.
• Security Officers are now also considered to be a part of the wider police gamily, protecting people.

Security officers may ask people to leave a client’s property if they:

• Have no right or reason to be there.
• Break criminal law.
• Breach site rules or conditions; or
• If their behaviour becomes unacceptable.

Our Security officers act as private members of the public and have no legal or statutory right to search any person, vehicle or building without permission.

It is most important, therefore, that security officers obtain permission from a person they wish to search (beforehand). Searching someone without necessary consent could result in:

• Criminal proceedings for assault being taken against the security officer.
• Civil action (compensation) being taken out against the security officer and / or the security company; and /or
• A criminal case against a person committing a crime failing, because the search that found the evidence was illegal as consent was not obtained.
