Passive security measures like alarms or basic CCTV cameras record incidents, but they rarely stop a breach while it is happening. Having trained, SIA-licensed security officers on-site gives Coventry businesses immediate response capability and a strong physical deterrent.
We deploy uniformed guards across a wide range of commercial premises, including:
Depending on your site layout and risk profile, our guards take on a mix of responsibilities. That includes running gatehouses, verifying delivery drivers, controlling vehicle barriers, logging visitors, carrying out floor patrols, securing perimeters, and handling lock-up or open-up procedures.
Region Security Guarding is an SIA-approved contractor and a leading security company in Coventry, with ISO 9001:2015 accreditation, SafeContractor approval, SMAS Worksafe certification, and Constructionline Silver membership. Everything we do follows written Assignment Instructions (AIs) designed specifically around how your facility operates.
Guards check badges, verify contractor credentials, manage vehicle barriers, and issue visitor passes. Anyone trying to gain unauthorised access is turned away according to site rules.
Regular checks across vulnerable perimeter fences, loading bays, plant rooms, and storage areas help identify damage, unsecured areas, signs of intrusion or other irregular activity before they become a larger problem.
If a break-in, fire alarm, or safety incident occurs, guards follow pre-agreed escalation paths. They liaise directly with our 24/7 control room and escalate emergencies to the appropriate emergency service where required.
Serving as a professional first point of contact, guards log incoming deliveries, manage staff access gates, keep visitor registers accurate, follow site health and safety procedures and report issues through the agreed escalation route.
Opening and closing checks can cover agreed access points, designated internal and external areas, keys and alarm procedures, with relevant issues recorded during the shift handover.
Our officers check in using digital QR checkpoints during their patrols. You get full visibility over patrol completion times, incident logs, and site updates.
Construction sites can contain valuable plant, tools and materials alongside multiple contractors and changing access requirements. Officers can support controlled entry, contractor verification, perimeter checks and out-of-hours protection as part of a wider construction security plan.
Event security needs to work around changing footfall, entrances, restricted areas and event timings. Manned officers can provide a visible presence, manage access points, support crowd movement and respond to incidents while working within the event organiser’s agreed procedures.
Retail security needs to deter incidents without creating an unwelcoming environment for customers. Officers can monitor entrances and vulnerable areas, support staff, deter theft and respond to incidents while maintaining a professional and approachable presence.
Warehouses and distribution centres often have frequent vehicle movements, deliveries and valuable stock on site. Officers can help manage access points, monitor site activity, carry out patrols and respond to concerns around loading areas, storage areas and the wider perimeter.
Universities and student accommodation can have busy entrances, multiple access points and different patterns of activity throughout the day. Officers can support access management, patrols, visitor handling and incident response while providing a visible security presence for residents, staff and visitors.
Business parks bring different businesses, staff, visitors, contractors and vehicles together across shared spaces. Manned guarding can provide a consistent security presence at key access points while supporting visitor management, patrols, vehicle monitoring and out-of-hours site protection.
A reliable guarding service starts with understanding the site properly. Our process is designed to establish what needs protecting, what the officer will be responsible for and how the service will be managed once it is in place.
We discuss your premises, operating hours, current security arrangements, known concerns and the reason you are considering manned guarding.
Where required, we assess the layout, entrances, exits, perimeter, vulnerable areas, working patterns and practical factors that may affect security.
We use the information gathered to determine the appropriate level of cover, officer duties, working hours and any specific requirements for the assignment.
Responsibilities and procedures are documented so officers understand their duties, patrol requirements, reporting arrangements and escalation routes.
Officers are selected according to the nature of the assignment, the site environment and the experience and skills required.
Relevant SIA licensing and vetting requirements are checked before an officer is deployed.
Officers are introduced to the site layout, procedures, contacts, restricted areas, reporting requirements and other information needed for the role.
The agreed guarding service begins in line with the contract, operating hours and assignment instructions.
Where included in the contract, REMS supports patrol verification and digital incident reporting, giving the operational team visibility of activity on site.
Supervisor checks and ongoing communication help identify issues, review the service and respond when the site’s requirements change.
The person assigned to your site matters just as much as the security procedures around them. Region Security Guarding provides SIA-licensed officers supported by relevant vetting, site-specific training and clear assignment instructions.
Depending on the role and contract, this can include:
Region Security Guarding is an SIA Approved Contractor and also holds ISO 9001:2015, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Constructionline Silver credentials.
These standards support the service, but effective guarding still comes down to selecting the right people and managing the assignment properly.
Having a security officer on site is one part of the service. The operational support behind that officer helps maintain communication, record activity and provide a clear trail of what has happened during a shift.
Depending on the assignment, this can include officer check-ins, missed-check escalation, digital incident logs, QR patrol checkpoints, time-stamped records, supervisor communication, emergency escalation and client reporting.
Our REMS system provides visibility into patrol activity and incidents, with officers scanning QR check-ins every 45 minutes, live incident alerts, images, and full reports with police references.
Initial risk: Construction sites are exposed to theft, vandalism, trespassing and unauthorised access, particularly where valuable plant, equipment and materials remain on site outside normal working hours.
Service deployed: A dedicated guarding team covered the site’s main access point and perimeter, with officers monitoring contractor movements, carrying out scheduled checks and reporting issues to the site management team.
Mobilisation: We quoted within 24 hours and started on site in September 2017.
Officer responsibilities: Our officers monitored site access, carried out regular patrols and responded to security concerns in line with the requirements of the assignment.
Reporting method: Security activity and incidents were recorded and reported through the agreed site reporting process, providing a record for ongoing review and management.
Result: The case study reports a significant reduction in incidents involving theft, vandalism and unauthorised access, alongside improved worker safety.
Manned guarding is a broader term that encompasses all forms of on-site security provided by physical security officers. Static guarding refers specifically to officers deployed at a fixed post or location, whereas manned guarding can include static guards, mobile patrols, gatehouse security, and K9 security teams.
Yes. Manned guarding is one of the most effective forms of security because visible, trained officers provide a powerful deterrent and can respond immediately to incidents. The cost of theft, vandalism, or business disruption can far exceed the cost of a professional security team.
Yes. Every officer is SIA-licensed, fully vetted in accordance with British Standard BS 7858, and compliant with all UK security industry regulations. Officers undergo regular refresher training to maintain their competence.
Deployment times vary by location, site requirements, and the complexity of the assignment. However, we can often arrange manned guarding coverage at short notice. For deployments, coverage can typically be arranged within days.
Yes. Sites are often most vulnerable outside working hours. We provide overnight guarding, weekend cover, bank holiday protection, and extended holiday security to protect your premises when work stops.
The cost of manned guarding depends on what your site requires. The number of officers, operating hours and level of responsibility can all affect the overall price.
