Why Local Businesses Need Professional Static Guarding London

London isn’t getting quieter. The Met Police recorded 455,768 offences city-wide between January and June 2025, and Westminster alone accounted for 41,639 of them, more than any other borough, with Camden and Newham close behind. 

Theft remains the single biggest driver, with 148,559 incidents reported in that same six-month window, including 45,224 shoplifting offences. For anyone running a shop, site, or office in the capital, that’s not a statistic to skim past. It’s the reason insurers ask for guarding cover before they’ll even quote.

That’s where we come in. We have spent 11 years placing trained, licensed officers on commercial sites right across London, from a single reception desk in the City to a fenced construction compound in Newham. 

Our guards don’t just stand there. They log patrols on our REMS tracking system every 45 minutes, flag anything unusual with photos and incident references, and stay in radio contact with our control team the whole shift. It’s static guarding London built around what actually happens on the streets, not a generic script.

Accreditations That Prove Our Standards, Not Just Our Promises

Region Security Guarding is an SIA Approved Contractor, ISO 9001:2015 certified, SafeContractor approved, and Constructionline Silver verified. So your static guarding deployment is always compliant, auditable, and built on certified quality management. 

We hire fully vetted security officers.

Our trained guards patrol, check visitors and respond to incidents across your site, ideal for premises where a static post alone doesn’t cover every access route or blind spot.

Our Key Responsibilities When Guarding Your Site

Static guarding isn’t just about having someone stand at the door. It’s about what that officer actually does across a shift. Every guard we place on a London site works to a clear set of responsibilities, checked and logged throughout their post, not left to memory or guesswork. 

From access control to incident response, each duty ties back into our REMS tracking system, so you get a documented record rather than a verbal account at the end of the day. This is what separates static guarding that genuinely protects a site from a guard who’s simply present. Our officers are trained and briefed on these responsibilities before their very first shift.

  • Monitoring and controlling entry and exit points
  • Conducting scheduled patrols and perimeter checks
  • Logging QR check-ins every 45 minutes via REMS
  • Reporting incidents with photos and police reference numbers
  • Liaising with police and emergency services when required

What Static Guarding Actually Covers on Your Site

Our static guarding London covers more than one type of post. Depending on your site, we deploy officers into different roles, each one built around your specific requirements.

Entrance & Reception Cover

Our guard holds your front entrance, screening visitors and deliveries against a list you set, with every check-in logged through REMS so you can see who came through and when.

Perimeter & Loading Bay Watch

We post guards at the yard and loading bay routes most providers overlook, running scheduled walk-throughs every 45 minutes and flagging anything unusual straight to your phone.

Out-of-Hours Static Cover

Our overnight teams take over once your building empties, working a fixed checklist of locks, alarms and access points, with photo evidence attached to every round we complete.

Retail Floor Presence

Our guard works your shop floor directly, positioned where theft actually happens rather than parked by the door, so your staff can focus on customers instead of watching the aisles.

How Static Guarding Cover Gets Set Up

From first enquiry to a guard standing on your site, we keep the process straightforward, so cover starts exactly when you need it, not weeks later.

Site Risk Assessment

We visit or review your premises to identify entry points, vulnerable hours and specific risks, so the guarding plan matches your site rather than a generic template.

Guard Selection & Briefing

We match SIA-licensed guards to your sector and brief them on your site rules, emergency contacts and reporting requirements before their first shift begins.

Deployment & Live Tracking

Our guards check in via REMS every 45 minutes, giving you a live record of coverage along with incident alerts the moment anything needs your attention.

Ongoing Review & Reporting

You receive full incident reports with police references where relevant, and we adjust cover levels as your site's risk profile or opening hours change.
