South Shields’ crime rate is 26% higher than the North East average. The town is now the most dangerous major town in Tyne & Wear, with crime levels 28% above the wider Tyne & Wear rate.
Retail businesses are especially exposed; retailers nationally detected 5.5 million shoplifting incidents last year. This cost the sector over £2.2bn, and that pressure is being felt on King Street and Ocean Road as much as anywhere else.
That’s the backdrop behind every quote we give. We’re not offering businesses a security company South Shields that doesn’t actually need. We’re building cover around risks that are already turning up in the police figures, month after month.
Our SIA-licensed guards put a visible presence on retail units and construction sites during the hours when incidents cluster. Our mobile patrols sweep unoccupied warehouses and plant machinery overnight, which is when vehicle crime tends to spike.
Our CCTV monitoring adds a second set of eyes that never blinks. Our keyholding and alarm response service means someone’s physically on-site within minutes of an alarm triggering, not the following morning, once the damage is already done.
None of this is guesswork. It’s built around what’s actually happening on your site right now. That’s why the businesses that switch to us rarely go back to what they had before.
Every accreditation we hold, SIA Approved Contractor, ISO 9001, SafeContractor, and our Armed Forces Covenant Bronze Award, is a working promise that your site is protected to standards that are audited, enforced, and real.
All officers fully SIA licensed & vetted
Quality management system certified
Health & safety compliance accredited
At Region Security Guarding, we offer security services that are tailored to your site risk, layout, and working hours. From manned guarding to gatehouse control, our team covers every angle so your site stays protected day and night.
Our manned guards patrol South Shields sites around the clock, checking access points, deterring opportunists, and maintaining a visible presence that most trespassers simply won’t risk testing twice after dark.
We station our static guards at your premises to watch every entry and exit point. They keep track of visitors and deal with suspicious activity straight away. That means greater peace of mind for your staff and better protection for your stock and assets.
Our gatehouse officers control who enters your site. They check IDs, log vehicles, and manage deliveries so only authorised people and vehicle traffic ever make it past the barrier. This keeps your business properly controlled from the first gate.
Our licensed dog handlers add a serious layer of deterrence to construction sites and warehouses around South Shields, covering large areas fast and spotting intruders long before a guard alone would.

We understand that every site in South Shields has different risks. So we tailor our security coverage to match your industry, not a one-size-fits-all guard rota.
Our loss prevention officers, CCTV monitoring, and uniformed guards protect high-street stores and King Street retailers from theft and disruption. They keep customers and staff safe.
Our highly trained static guarding, mobile patrols, and gatehouse access stop plant theft and vandalism. They prevent unauthorised entry into construction sites across South Shields.
We secure factories, warehouses, and port-linked logistics hubs against intrusion, cargo theft, and safety breaches with disciplined gatehouse and patrol operations.
We provide front-of-house security, keyholding and randomised patrols for student housing and private estates across South Shields. Our guards manage entry points and respond quickly.
From the seafront at Sandhaven to events at The Word and along Ocean Road, our guards manage crowds, control access and keep visitors safe at South Shields’ busiest leisure and event venues.
We manage visitor access, respond to incidents quickly and give care home managers one less thing to worry about, day or night. They help keep residents and patients safe.
Eleven years in the industry have taught us that reliability matters more than anything else. That’s why we prioritise reliability, local knowledge, and guards who treat your site like it’s their own responsibility.
We’re not making promises we can’t back up. Region Security Guarding is an SIA Approved Contractor and ISO 9001:2015 certified, with SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Constructionline Silver status alongside NASDU membership for our K9 units. Every officer we deploy is properly vetted, trained and licensed, so you’re never taking a chance on who’s guarding your property.
Our guards don’t just show up and stand around. Every officer checks in via our REMS tracking system every 45 minutes, with live incident alerts, photos and full reports sent straight to you. Combined with over 30 years of combined frontline experience from our management team, that means faster response times and fewer surprises when something goes wrong on site.
We already work with organisations like the NHS, British Steel, local councils and national retailers, so we understand what different sectors actually need rather than offering one guard for every job. Whether it’s a construction site, a retail unit or a healthcare facility, our teams adapt their approach to fit how your business really operates.
Security risks can vary across Bilston. A busy local area may face public disruption, while quieter commercial spots can be more exposed after hours. Local conditions often shape the type of risks businesses need to consider.

Absolutely. We handle everything from a single weekend event to long-term contracts, adjusting guard numbers and services as your requirements change throughout the year.
