When it comes to the security services we provide here at Oxguard Security, the benefits can all be pinned down to your property becoming a safer place whether there is anyone inside, or if the property has been left empty for a period of time. However each service comes with its own specific security benefit, so we have created a quick rundown of the main points:
CCTV, Burglar Alarm and Fire Alarm Installations
Security equipment such as CCTV and burglar alarms can provide you with greater peace of mind wherever you are, as you know they are constantly working to back you up against any intruder. The great benefit of CCTV is that it will record any intrusion or breach of privacy for later use with the police force, while burglar alarms will benefit you by alerting you that someone has broken in, or alerting neighbours if you are not currently present – making them great on their own or truly formidable when combined.
Intruders aren’t the only risk to your home, as a fire could take hold of it for a number of reasons. We at Oxguard Security can help you with the supply and installation of high quality fire alarm systems.
Key holding
Key holding will benefit your premises by keeping all keys and security codes safe in a bespoke security wallet, which will only be opened when you require it – and with a 24 hour service, this can be at any time.
Manned Guards
For properties which require a more constant, personal presence, our rigorously trained and professional manned guards are the answer, as their presence alone can be enough to deter an intruder.
The above security services and many more we provide can be much more cost effective and beneficial than heavy duty fencing Oxford or any other measure that isn’t designed solely for security, so to find out more, please get in touch.

There is a wide range of security services London area at your disposal these days. Gone are the days when you only had untrained security guards and stewards at your disposal. Now you can hire the trained manpower you need to cater for all of your wants and needs, including logistical security considerations. Logistical security is a completely different area of the security industry that you may not hear a lot about but are vital in the success of various events nevertheless.
Logistical security is effectively the secure management of an event to ensure that it goes off without a hitch. The key word is logistical meaning the flow of goods, resources, people and information. Logistical security effectively draws on the concept of a steady but efficient flow of information, good and people to ensure hat exhibitions are organized and secure, thus ensuring that a good time is had by all in the optimum conditions for health and safety possible!
There is a great need for logistical security because hosting events and exhibitions, which are where the service is commonly used, play host to thousands of people and any disruption to the level of security could put every single one of them in danger. The service is also used in warehouses and other large establishments to ensure that efficiency and security go hand in hand.
Logistical security teams are trained to handle a variety of situations.

The perception of security services throughout the UK is that they are there to keep the peace with very little training in place. After all, how do you train to be a bouncer or a security guard? Well, that perception is seriously outdated today because a high number of security companies actually offer guards that have SIA approved security. In fact, all private security firms have to abide by this if they want to operate with a license and stay above the law.
When a company offers guards that are SIA licensed then it is demonstrating that the guards are licensed by the Security Industry Authority to provide security services to a whole range of venues events and clients. The Private Security Industry Act 2001 introduced approved SIA security to regulate private firms and ensure that the individual or company hiring them were fully protected and would get the range of services they wanted and needed.
Private SIA guards that are SIA licensed are rewarded in the job market, which can only be a good thing when it comes to them catering for and fulfilling the needs of clients. As such, security guards are now highly trained and fully equipped to deal with a whole range of situations, including conflict management, terrorist threats, health and safety and verbal as well as physical abuse. You would therefore have the peace of mind that your security would be fully able to deal with a situation that cropped up during an event.
Companies that use SIA licensed Guards are also required to meet performance targets. There is a range of targets so it impossible to keep up with them all, but the general idea is that the higher the number of performance indicators they meet, the better the level of service that they are able to provide. Good firms will keep track of which indicators they are meeting so you could ask if you need any reassurance.
So what does all of the above information mean for you? Basically, if you choose to hire a company that uses SIA guards that are licensed then you are getting better service than you would if the firm were not using licensed or approved guards. This would do wonders for your peace of mind as well as your general sense of well being. Having a regulated private security firm on your side is definitely a good thing!

Security for London is one of the primary concerns of this nation as a whole today. As the capital of England, it is a key urban centre in the UK and is extremely important if we are all to move forward in terms of development, government and technology, amongst other things. However, it is also the city with one of the highest crime rates in the UK. It is the city that has been the subject of one of only two attempts at a major terrorist attack in the past few years, with the other being Glasgow. As such, security is a big concern if we want to protect the interests of the UK and all her people.
There are many forms of security services London that are required on a daily basis. Event security, business security and traffic management are just three of the forms of security that are required every single day. It is important that security firms that provide their services are fully aware of the threats out there in terms of crime, public unrest and terrorism, to name a few, if they are to do their jobs correctly.
Every member of the security for London teams has to be highly trained. They cannot simply make it up as they go along, which is why many firms are now obtaining licenses through the SIA (Security Industry Association). Approved SIA security firms are regularly training their employees to ensure that their conflict management and resolution, health and safety and emergency procedures knowledge is always up to date, amongst other skills that are required of them. They are also trained to perform several tasks and duties so they are ready for anything!
Firms that provide security for London are fully accredited and meet key performance indicators. By checking these details with them, you can have peace of mind that they are professionals and will be able to keep calm in even the most daunting of situations. You should always be able to rely upon your security and this way you can ensure that you can. Having a license and approval also points to the fact that the company is fully regulated and you are protected in that way as well. You know exactly what you are getting for your money, whether you hire the security or someone else has done so for an event you are attending. A price cannot be put on that!
