UNIFORMED SECURITY GUARDS PROVIDE A HIGHLY VISIBLE AND EFFECTIVE DETERRANT TO INTRUDERS

​

Construction sites are regarded as an easy target for opportunistic thieves and organised gang's, with many contractors and vehicles entering each day as well as being completely vacated at night. Many construction sites suffer theft, yet security is often considered a ‘luxury’.

However, well-managed uniformed construction site security is effectively cost-neutral, with savings made in the prevention of lost plant, materials and frustrating downtime. It may also be an insurance requirement. At Shadow Response Security we can deploy security guards, marked vehicles and dog units anywhere in UK within 3-4 hours of initial contact. All our guards carry the necessary PPE, hard-hat, boots, Hi-Viz etc and a valid in date cscs card.

In tense and difficult situations, remote monitoring can only alert you that something is wrong and possibly record what goes on. It can’t actually do anything to stop the emerging threat, other than contact the authorities.
With manned guarding you always have a permanent physical presence on hand to de-escalate any difficult situations before they get out of control, not to mention the control of valuable machinery, materials, tools and equipment. Highly trained security professionals can ensure all valuables are protected.

CCTV camera's and alarm system's are a powerful deterrent to thieves. Many systems, however, are too subtle to be easily noticed. As a cost-saving measure, many organisations choose dummy systems, leading thieves to try their luck even if they do see the system.
There is no better deterrent than a visible, physical security detail regularly patrolling your premises. Not only does this give a very clear signal of the strength of your security, but a manned guard service can ensure areas are checked that CCTV might often miss. A sad fact is thieves know how to keep themselves hidden! A simple ski mask and gloves, now all you've got is a faceless thief. Buy the time the authorities have been notified and arrived they are long gone with thousand's. with manned guards, we can intercept them whilst onsite and detain them fore the authorities. A Loss prevention is infinitely preferable to loss management.

Digital security systems are excellent, but they are somewhat limited in their scope. They can only, for example, detect movement and record footage. If you’re looking for true security, the human touch still offers the edge.
The reason is that a manned guard can easily detect other security dangers that might go unnoticed by CCTV. A gas leak, for example, or weather damage occurring. You can be notified of these things immediately, whereas a CCTV and alarm system would not even register they’d happened.
