Security Service
Manned Guarding
On-site security officers providing a visible, professional presence tailored to how your premises actually operate.
Manned guarding is the foundation of most commercial security arrangements. A security officer on site does more than deter unauthorised activity: they control who enters the building, respond when something happens, record what took place and give staff and visitors a point of contact.
Frontline Security provides manned guarding using officers who hold the appropriate SIA licence for the activity they are undertaking. Cover is arranged around your operating hours, site layout and the risks specific to the premises.
Most of our manned guarding work covers commercial premises, industrial units and sites in and around Southampton, with cover arranged around your operating hours rather than a fixed shift template.
