Police-recorded crime data shows Medway’s overall crime rate sitting at around 110 offences per 1,000 residents over the past year, a medium level compared with other local authority areas in England and Wales.
Anti-social behaviour at 19.3 per 1,000 and criminal damage and arson at 9.66 per 1,000, categories that show up repeatedly around retail parades, industrial estates and construction sites once the working day ends. Shoplifting alone runs at 8.59 per 1,000, a figure that will feel familiar to any retailer on Chatham High Street or Rochester’s shopping streets.
For a warehouse manager on Medway City Estate, a retailer on Chatham High Street, or a developer overseeing a waterfront regeneration site, this isn’t an abstract statistic. It’s the reason opportunist theft, break-ins and vandalism keep turning up on incident logs. That’s exactly why choosing the right security company Medway businesses can call on around the clock makes a genuine difference.
Our experienced team provides tailored Security Services Medway businesses can rely on throughout the day and night. Every assignment begins with understanding your premises, operational hours, visitor numbers and potential vulnerabilities before recommending the most suitable guarding solution.
Our certifications aren’t paper trophies. They’re proof that every security officer Medway businesses hire from us meets the UK’s most rigorous standards. As an SIA Approved Contractor with ISO 9001:2015, we operate at a level most local security companies Medway simply can’t match.
All officers fully SIA licensed & vetted
Quality management system certified
Health & safety compliance accredited
From static posts to roaming patrols, our Medway-based teams cover every layer of protection your site, staff and stock actually need.
For reception areas, gatehouses, and single-entry sites across Medway’s commercial estates, our static guards maintain continuous watch. They check credentials, log movements, and keep your perimeter secure through every hour of their shift.
Every vehicle and visitor passes through your gatehouse first. Our trained gatehouse officers verify IDs, log licence plates, and enforce your site rules firmly but professionally. Perfect for Medway City Estate, Gillingham Business Park, and similar gated commercial zones.
A handler-and-dog team on your Medway site sends an unmistakable message. Our NASDU-associate K9 units deter intruders, sweep for hidden threats, and handle crowd control. Ideal for large-footprint industrial yards, construction compounds, and high-value storage across the Medway Towns.
Our SIA-licensed officers don’t just stand around. They actively patrol your Medway premises, manage visitor access, and respond to incidents in real-time. Every guard is uniformed, site-trained, and backed by our REMS tracking system so you know exactly who’s on duty and where.
A guard standing at a gate is only useful if someone can prove they were actually there, awake and doing the job properly. Our REMS tracking system logs a QR check-in every 45 minutes, so site managers get verified proof of coverage rather than a signature on a clipboard at the end of the week. Incidents are logged with timestamps, photos and, where relevant, a police reference number, then pushed straight to your phone.
Combined with our record of no unplanned absenteeism, it means the guard rota you’re paying for is the guard rota you’re actually getting, whether that’s a single static post in Strood or a multi-site patrol running across Rainham and the Hoo Peninsula.
Medway isn’t one type of business. It’s a mix of retail, industry, education, and construction. Our security adapts to each.
Equipment theft from Medway construction sites isn’t petty crime – it’s organised. Our mobile patrols and static guards cover sites across Rochester Riverside, Lodge Hill, and the Hoo Peninsula with regular night visits and live-tracked reporting.
Help protect stock, manage busy access points, and keep warehouse operations running with fewer disruptions.
Chatham High Street, The Pentagon, and Strood’s retail parks face constant theft pressure. Our retail-trained guards patrol shop floors, monitor fitting rooms, and liaise with Kent Police when needed – cutting shrinkage without intimidating genuine customers.
Serving purpose-built housing near the Universities at Medway campus in Chatham, our officers manage access, monitor communal areas and respond quickly to incidents to keep residents and buildings secure year-round.
From health centres in Gillingham to council buildings in Chatham, our officers understand the public-facing nature of these roles. They are trained to handle vulnerable individuals with care and professionalism.

We combine mobile patrols, gatehouse access control, and keyholding services to create a complete protective net across your entire business park. to respond fast.
Eleven years in the trade, SIA-approved status and a management team with over 30+ years of combined frontline experience mean our guards genuinely know how to handle a difficult shift.
Every guard is SIA licensed and DBS checked before they set foot on your site, and our internal processes sit under ISO 9001:2015 quality management rather than informal habits or good intentions. That distinction matters the moment you’re relying on a security contractor for insurance purposes, a competitive tender or public sector compliance, where paperwork gets checked properly rather than taken on trust. It also means that if something does go wrong on site, there’s a documented, auditable process behind our response rather than a shrug and an apology after the fact. We rank in the top 25% of UK security firms, serving clients from British Steel to local Medway SMEs.
We don’t parachute guards into Medway from another region and hope they figure the area out as they go. Our teams already know the difference between a quiet Sunday on Rainham High Street and a busy Friday night around Chatham town centre. They adjust patrols accordingly instead of following a generic routine copied from elsewhere. That local awareness, paired with Kent Police crime data and our own incident history across Medway’s five towns, shapes how we brief every shift before a guard reaches your site, so coverage stays genuinely relevant to what’s happening nearby.
Anyone can promise a guard will be on site all night; proving it is a different matter entirely. We back that promise up with a tracking system that timestamps every single patrol, so you’re never left wondering whether coverage actually happened or a guard simply signed a sheet and left early. Reports, images and incident logs land in your inbox as events unfold, not weeks later during an invoice dispute, giving site managers and facilities teams something they can actually show to insurers, tenants or head office when questions come up.
