Leicester businesses face different risks based on their site, location and working hours. Retail units, warehouses, offices and large commercial sites may all need a different level of cover. Leicester’s community safety plan lists business crime, anti-social behaviour and violent crime among its key concerns.
To address these situations, Region Security Guarding uses trained guards to manage visitors, support staff, and handle incidents in line with site rules. Where more cover is needed, we can combine manned guarding, mobile patrols, CCTV, gatehouse security and keyholding to build a wider security plan.
Our SIA licensed security guards Leicester are backed by recognised standards, strict checks, and real on-site experience. You get dependable protection from trained professionals.

Host Students needed security that could protect its student accommodation while keeping the building welcoming for residents. Region Security Guarding provided static concierge security and security patrols across the Leicester site.
Our guards managed reception and access points, checked visitors and contractors, and helped control who entered the property. Regular internal and external foot patrols also helped deter vandalism, theft, fire hazards and noise issues.
The team was trained to follow Host’s site rules, escalation process, customer service and safeguarding needs. This allowed our officers to work closely with the on-site management team and support a safe, calm living environment for students.
REMS Guard Tracking gives Leicester businesses a clear view of site patrols and incidents. Guards use QR check-ins every 45 minutes to record patrol activity across the site. When an issue is found, the system supports live incident alerts, on-site images and full reports, including police reference details where needed.
The system also supports mobile patrol work across several sites. It helps track guard movements and keep patrol records in one place. This means you can see when checks were made, what was found and what action followed.
For Leicester businesses, REMS adds a clear record to your security plan and keeps communication moving when a serious incident occurs.
Security guards can take on different duties based on the site and its daily needs. Their role may include access control, patrols, visitor checks and incident support.
| Security Duty | What Guards Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Access Control | Check people and vehicles entering the site. | Helps stop unauthorised entry. |
| Site Patrols | Walk key areas and look for risks or damage. | Helps spot problems early. |
| Visitor Checks | Check visitor details before allowing entry. | Keeps a clear record of site visitors. |
| Gatehouse Duties | Manage site entry and exit points. | Keeps vehicle and pedestrian access under control. |
| Incident Handling | Deal with issues and report what happened. | Gives the business a clear record of incidents. |
| Mobile Patrols | Visit sites at set or random times and record checks. | Adds security without a guard staying on site. |
Our Leicester security teams can support short-term and long-term contracts, with uniformed guards who adapt to changing site needs and provide consistent cover throughout the contract.
Different industries face different security pressures. Our approach considers the people, assets, access points and operating patterns specific to each type of premises.
Building sites attract theft, vandalism, and unauthorised entry. Our construction security Leicester guards secure perimeters, monitor equipment, and keep your site compliant around the clock.

We don’t send you a generic guard and move on. Every Leicester deployment is planned, managed, and reviewed, because your site has specific risks, and we take them seriously.
