Manned Guard Services

Manned guarding is the use of trained security personnel to provide a physical security presence at a commercial property. Duties can include access control, patrols, visitor management, incident response and monitoring of vulnerable areas.

CCTV provides remote or recorded visual coverage. Manned guarding puts a person on site who can challenge access, patrol areas and respond directly to an incident. Many commercial sites use both together.

The role depends on the site. Common duties include checking visitors and contractors, controlling entrances, patrolling buildings and grounds, monitoring suspicious activity and reporting incidents.

Many licensable security activities in the UK require the individual carrying them out to hold the appropriate SIA licence. The exact requirement depends on the duties being performed. We establish the guarding role and relevant requirements during mobilisation.
