Why choose Anubis manned guarding?
Anubis is able to offer you a high quality manned guarding service.
Where premises are particularly vulnerable, for example if they are located in isolated parts of the country, alarms and remote surveillance systems may not be adequate on their own. Where prompt and direct intervention may be necessary, a manned guarding service should be considered.
We are able to provide up to 24-hour site security with our manned guarding service. Our well-trained, uniformed security staff present a professional appearance to the outside world and a formidable barrier to the would-be burglar or vandal.
Manned guarding duties involve preventing unauthorised access or occupation of restricted grounds or buildings and protecting them from disorder or damage. Access control can extend as far as checking passes, tickets and invitations but generally excludes any access management role.
Manned guarding can also cover protection to individuals, protecting them from assault and other unlawful actions. Visit our ‘specialized services’ section for information about personal protection services offered by Gemstone whose clients have included celebrities and company executives.
SIA Licensed
The SIA (Security Industry Authority) is the independent body authorised by the Home Office to regulate the private security industry in the UK. The SIA report to the Home Office under the terms of the Private Security Industry Act 2006.
Most of us will have encountered poorly-trained and unprofessional security staff. These security guards often escalate problems through being overly confrontational and sometimes even violent. This is obviously unacceptable and can negatively impact your business by driving legitimate customers away. SIA regulation is designed to eliminate criminality within the private security industry while raising standards and rewarding quality service. In the words of the SIA themselves, licensing ensures that personnel are “’fit and proper’ persons who are properly trained and qualified to do their job.”
Naturally, our personnel are all SIA licensed which means you can be assured that you will be dealing with disciplined, highly-trained, motivated and effective security officers; you will also be fulfilling your legal duty as an employer. All of our security staff have been fully vetted, with ten year background checks and CRB police clearance.
A physical deterrent
An advantage in hiring a manned guarding service is the physical deterrent a uniformed presence undoubtedly provides, particularly to the opportunist. Unlike CCTV, which can often be evaded or even damaged, a security officer is mobile, intelligent and pro-active, able to investigate suspected disturbances and apprehend would-be trespassers. Security guards, in highly visible uniform, can provide regular patrols and undertake surveillance tasks, reducing the chance of weak points being exploited. Whereas a CCTV system can provide video evidence that can help to identify a culprit after a crime has been committed, a site-based security guard can often prevent the crime from happening in the first place.
Should the need arise, an on-site guard can provide evidence to police about attempted or successful security threats. If your premises are threatened, our staff will be ideally placed to give witness statements. In some cases, our staff may be able to detain intruders and hand them over to the police. Even in the event of accidental damage, for example a fire, an on-site guard can notify the emergency services immediately, limiting the extent of any damage.
Hiring manned guarding services can also reap financial rewards, as some insurance companies will reduce your premiums.
