Manned Guarding Security

Manned Security Guarding Services

WSS provide manned security guarding services for building and construction sites, offices and hotel receptions. Uniformed security guards, simply by their presence provide a significant deterrent and thus help to deter and prevent criminal activity such as burglaries, vandalism, tool theft or break-ins for both residential and commercial premises alike.

The role security guards covers a variety of responsibilities that extend beyond simple surveillance, such as maintaining a fire watch. Their primary duties include preventing damage or disorder, guarding properties and assets against theft, and protecting individuals from assault or injury. In the event of an incident, guards are expected to respond promptly, investigating disturbances, and taking appropriate actions to mitigate risks. They are also responsible for maintaining logs of site activities, managing access to the premises, and ensuring that all safety protocols are followed.

Whilst CCTV monitoring offers a way of detecting any criminal activity, Manned Guarding offers several advantages over any electronic surveillance system:

  1. Immediate Response: Unlike surveillance technology that requires human interpretation and the dispatch of a team, something that must delay any response, manned guards can offer immediate on-site action during incidents.
  2. Visual Deterrence: The physical presence of security guards acts as a strong deterrent against potential offenders who might be undeterred by the passive nature of cameras and alarms.
  3. Adaptability: Security personnel can adapt to different situations and respond to various security challenges that might not be immediately detectable by surveillance technology.
  4. Human Judgment: Guards can make real-time decisions based on the context of a situation, which technology alone might misinterpret or overlook.

A Security Firm That Provides Peace of Mind

Ensuring The safety and security of our customers is our main concern, which is why we offer a range of services, such as key holding, alarm monitoring, and mobile patrols. The latter, when combined with static security guards offer the very best solution as they provide the means to cover the perimeter of the business, which always has the highest vulnerability of being breached.


There is no doubt however, that the presence of security guards, day and night if necessary, provides the peace of mind and reassurance that our customers desire.

Guard Security and Security Patrols

Manned guarding is perhaps the ultimate access control system there is, which, when combined with patrolling mobile security units, reduces the possibility of any breaches. Their ability to observe and report any suspicious activity dramatically reduces the chances of any intrusions, providing the required level of ‘protective security’ to property, premises, and staff.

Our Manned Security operatives are trained to the highest standards, having been vetted intensively to BS7858 and CRB/DBS checked. They have also completed a rigorous induction programme that includes counter-terrorism training which ensures that they will be prepared for any eventuality.
