With this article, we hope to answer to your question: What security service is best for me?

If you cannot decide between Static security guard and Mobile patrol services, maybe reading this article will make you decide what is best for you.

Either you have a house, a business or an investment that you want to protect, you will have to search what is most suitable form of protection for you, that is tailored according your needs and why not, according with your budget.

Static security guards are uniformed security personnel that remain on-site at one site for an agreed period of time, often during evenings but can include day times. They are used to protect our client's property. Security signs can also be installed around the site to act as a deterrent.

The static security guards are often located within a client's control room that will also house a CCTV system, and their duties include regular security checks around the site. These checks are recorded providing evidence that security checks have occurred.

As well as security checks, the static security guard can be used to open and close property at the start and end of the working day, taking responsibility for ensuring the property is secure.

Static security guards can be used at any site including business parks, construction sites, schools and retail developments.

Mobile Patrols are uniformed security guards that patrol a number of sites during an agreed period. They will use a vehicle, which is branded with the company name as a deterrent.

The mobile security guards will undertake regular, but varied, checks around the sites, which are recorded providing evidence that security checks, have occurred. Security signs are installed around the site to act as a deterrent.

Guard dogs can act as an additional deterrent to a static security guard or mobile patrol. Signs are displayed around the client's site advising that a guard dog is present.

All dog handlers and guard dog work is undertaken within the provisions of the Guard Dog Act 1975. The guard dogs are trained to show controlled aggression against anyone who confronts their handler.

The security guards and guard dogs will undertake regular, but varied, checks around the sites, which are recorded providing evidence that security checks, have occurred.

CCTV security systems can play an important role in fighting crime and can act as a valuable respond and record system. Armour Security Guarding believes CCTV systems are more effective than intruder alarms and we are working with many clients helping them replace their old systems with CCTV security systems.

There are a number of security solutions to suit your budget such as:

• Remote Alert CCTV Video Monitoring
