What services can security companies in London provide?
Regardless of an organisation’s size or sector, there is bound to be the threat of crime and burglaries. Despite the fact preventative measures like alarm systems can deter thieves from breaking and entering, this isn’t always enough. CCTV can also be used to discourage criminals and identify the people responsible, but if somebody wants to take valuable items or sensitive information from your premises, unfortunately they usually find a way of doing so.
However, specialist security companies in London such as Access Facilities Management are able to provide a number of additional services, which are much more effective than traditional means of protection.
What’s more, compared to things like alarm systems and CCTV, receiving assurances and support from experienced and knowledgeable professionals provides great peace of mind. But what services can security companies in London and beyond actually provide?
Keyholding
Keyholding is where you give a dedicated security firm the keys to your property or premises. Therefore, when the alarm goes off or if there is a breach of security, they will respond promptly and proficiently, visiting the site to assess the situation and then quickly acting accordingly.
The benefits of choosing keyholding include but are not limited to:
- Quick response times – Owing to the fact keys are kept in a mobile unit, the security firm can be at your property in no time at all to attend to a call out or incident.
- Competency – Keyholders will know how to deal with false alarms or what to do when an intruder is on the premises because they are professionally trained security experts.
- Low-risk – Employing a trained keyholder is much safer than you or other members of staff trying to deal with a security situation, as the criminal in question could be armed and dangerous. This is where the services of a trained and accredited security professional can really make a difference!
Security Patrols
