Residential Protection
Do you enjoy peace of mind in your own home?
A home, for the majority of us, is a haven in which we can relax and unwind after a long day at work – and that’s the way it should be. Sadly this is not always the case.
For some people, for example high-profile celebrities or high net worth individuals and their families, the home may be a constant source of anxiety.
Such properties may sometimes be at increased risk of burglary, vandalism or break-in, a worrying prospect, especially if children are present.
In such cases, Gemstone can promptly supply residential protection officers to provide high quality, 24 hour a day protection for the home and its occupants. Residential protection is a specialist field. Working discreetly, our residential protection experts have access to a range of techniques, procedures and technology which can be deployed to secure the property. These include:
• Patrols
• Access control
• Fire/safety monitoring
• Threat awareness
• Incident/emergency response
• CCTV/alarm monitoring
• Searching
• Lost/found service
• Information gathering
• Producing statements and reports
Even for those who are confident they could deal with threats themselves, specially trained residential protection officers can offer an additional layer of support. Not only that, but unskilled attempts to handle security issues can quickly run out of control, leaving you vulnerable to injury, death or even litigation.
Gemstone understands that even a home with significant security needs must still be a place of relative normality. Our residential protection officers are discreet and professional, and will carry out their duties with a minimum of fuss and will remain out of the way of you and your family as much as possible. For a less intrusive home security solution, we can also provide assistance with installing a security system.
On the other hand, it is sometimes preferable to display a strong, overt security presence, and we are happy to arrange that for clients.
Tailor-made protection from Gemstone
No two residences are the same, and people’s circumstances vary. That is why Gemstone offer residential protection that is individually tailored to meet your specific security needs. We can also combine residential protection with other close protection services to provide an optimal level of security.
An immediate benefit of choosing a residential protection package is likely to be in the feeling of security that you and your family will begin to experience. In many cases, the clear presence of enhanced security measures is enough to deter would-be criminals, especially opportunist burglars.
Even if trouble does occur, Gemstone residential protection officers are often able to use their enhanced customer service and communication skills to de-escalate hostile situations, preventing physical conflict in the first place.
However, should physical intervention be required, our clients’ safety is our overriding priority. Gemstone residential protection officers are trained in control and restraint techniques and a timely and skilled intervention can often prevent escalation and enable the situation to be resolved with minimal fuss and disruption to neighbours.
Gemstone are flexible in their provision of residential protection. In addition to family homes, we can provide protection to private estates, places of work, vessels and hotels. If you are unsure about whether we can solve your security needs, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
