Leicester is a city on the move. But with growth comes risk. As of 2026, Leicester’s crime rate sits 37% above the England and Wales national average. Shoplifting alone jumped 39.3% in a single year. Property crime accounts for nearly 28% of all offences across the city.
The Golden Mile, Highcross Shopping Centre, Fosse Park, and the Belgrave Road corridor all see high footfall and high theft risk. Warehouses near the M1 corridor and East Midlands Airport face regular cargo theft attempts. Construction sites across the city, from Waterside regeneration to new student housing, are prime targets overnight.
It’s not just about theft, either. Anti-social behaviour climbed 15.2% last year in Leicester. Businesses without visible security often feel it first. A good security company Leicester that businesses trust should understand these local risks, not offer a copy-paste solution from a national template. That’s where we come in.
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.
All officers fully SIA licensed & vetted
Quality management system certified

Every guard we deploy in Leicester holds a valid SIA-approved certificate. But we go further than the legal minimum. Region Security Guarding holds ISO 9001:2015 quality certification, SafeContractor approval, SMAS Worksafe certification, and Constructionline Silver membership. We’re also an Armed Forces Covenant holder and Disability Confident employer.
These aren’t badges on a website. They mean every process, from guard vetting to incident reporting, is checked and measured. You get a team that performs consistently, not just on day one.
You shouldn’t have to wonder whether your guard showed up. With our REMS tracking system, every guard checks in via QR scan every 45 minutes. You get live updates, incident alerts, photos, and full written reports, all with police reference numbers where relevant.
If something happens at your Leicester site, you’ll know about it in real time. Not in a phone call the next morning. This level of accountability is rare in the industry. It’s standard practice for us.
