As the security company Devon businesses trust, Region Security Guarding embeds SIA-licensed, locally briefed teams right into your daily operations. You get manned and static guards, K9 units, mobile patrols, and 24/7 remote CCTV eyes, all tracked live by our REMS system. That means complete site integrity from Exeter to Plymouth, Torbay to Tavistock, and every corner of the county.

Devon isn’t one uniform picture. It’s a county of sharp contrasts. Exeter currently records the highest crime rate in the Devon & Cornwall force area, at roughly 102 crimes per 1,000 residents, with Torbay and Plymouth close behind.
Rural Devon looks very different, with areas like South Devon & Dartmoor sitting well below the county average. That split matters: a retail unit in Exeter city centre and a construction site in rural Dartmoor face genuinely different risks and need genuinely different security cover.
That’s the gap our security company Devon fills. We deploy security guards who understand the seasonal pressure points and respond quickly to any incidents. They know the rural and coastal areas well, and they don’t treat your site like just another postcode on a spreadsheet.
We don’t ask you to take our word for it. We hold SIA Approved Contractor status, ISO 9001:2015 certification and SafeContractor accreditation. You get guards who are properly vetted, licensed and trained, backed by NASDU and SMAS Worksafe memberships.
All officers fully SIA licensed & vetted
Quality management system certified
Health & safety compliance accredited
From gated construction sites to retail units and rural business parks, our core services keep Devon properties protected around the clock.
One guard, one post, total focus. We station uniformed professionals at entrances, reception areas, or sensitive perimeters. Ideal for schools, hospitals, offices, and construction compounds where a constant human presence does the heavy lifting.
We put disciplined officers in your gatehouse to log every vehicle and visitor, enforce delivery protocols, and stop unwelcome entrants before they’re even on site. A natural fit for factories, business parks, and gated residential estates.
A trained dog-and-handler team brings instant, visible authority. Our NASDU-associate K9 units deter intruders on large perimeters, sweep for hidden threats, and give remote warehouses, industrial yards, and construction sites a formidable layer of protection.
Our SIA-licensed guards move through your site, verify visitor credentials, de-escalate incidents, and manage emergencies. It’s a high-visibility, low-risk solution for apartments, events, transport hubs, and public-facing venues.

Devon’s economy runs on tourism, retail, students and construction. So our guarding is shaped around what each sector actually faces.
Our patrols run through the hours when a site is otherwise unwatched. We respond directly to triggered alarms rather than waiting on a third party. Our static guarding, mobile patrols and CCTV towers protect materials and machinery overnight, cutting insurance costs and downtime.
Our gatehouse teams check every vehicle against a site list, our patrols cover blind spots between units, and we log stock movement discrepancies straight back to you, not buried in an end-of-month report.
We position guards near tills and fitting rooms and flag repeat offenders to staff before they strike again. They coordinate directly with your CCTV room so incidents get stopped, not just recorded.
We manage visitor sign-in, keep an eye on entry points overnight, and de-escalate disputes quietly. So staff can focus on care instead of watching the door. Our guards handle incidents discreetly and support out-of-hours emergencies.
Our officers manage entry points, log who’s on site, and step in early on incidents before they escalate. Our concierge and static guarding teams monitor communal areas and keep residents and landlords reassured throughout term time.
We ramp up guard numbers through peak summer months and run discreet night checks that don’t disturb paying guests. We keep an eye on car parks where visitor vehicles sit unattended for days.
We’re not a call-centre security firm. We’re a Devon-focused security company with local guards, live tracking and accreditations that hold up under scrutiny.
Our guards aren’t dropped into Devon from somewhere else. They know the difference between a quiet Exmouth side street and a busy Torquay seafront on a Saturday night, and they patrol accordingly. That local awareness is backed by the same national accreditations you’d expect from any major provider.
Devon sites can be remote, seasonal or spread across several locations. So, we’ve built our operation to handle exactly that. Guards don’t simply fail to show up, and where prior arrangements are needed, we have contingency cover in place so your site is never left unattended.
Every patrol on a Devon site is logged through our REMS tracking system, with QR check-ins roughly every 45 minutes and live incident alerts sent straight to you. You’re not relying on a written logbook filled in after the fact. You get real-time visibility into what’s happening on your property, whenever you want it.
