Plymouth is a busy, growing city, and crime is a real concern for businesses here. Devon and Cornwall Police recorded 121,028 crimes in the 12 months to March 2025. That’s an 11.7% rise year-on-year, going against a national trend that saw crime fall over the same period. Theft offences rose by 15.2%, with shoplifting and other theft driving the bulk of that increase.
The city centre, Drake Circus, Union Street, and Armada Way see the highest footfall and the highest risk. Construction projects around Devonport and the waterfront attract metal theft and vandalism.
The naval base area brings its own site security pressures. Student areas near the University of Plymouth and Plymouth Marjon see night-time incidents spike during term time. Businesses without visible, professional security notice the difference fast. A manned guard deters.
A patrol catches things early. Reactive policing takes time. Plymouth security guards from Region Security Guarding put trained professionals exactly where they need to be, before problems start.
Our SIA licensed security guards Plymouth 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
Health & safety compliance accredited
No two businesses face the same risks. Our SIA licensed security guards Bilston provide practical cover that fits how your site works.
A visible, trained guard on-site deters trouble before it starts. We place SIA-approved officers at your premises, checked in every 45 minutes via QR tracking, with live incident reports sent directly to you.
Fixed-post security for sites that need a constant presence. From factory gates to care home entrances, our officers stay put, stay alert, and manage access throughout every shift.
K9 units cover ground faster, deter trespassers harder, and find what cameras miss. Ideal for large construction sites, Devonport-adjacent industrial zones, and any outdoor site with wide perimeter access.
One guard. Multiple sites. Cost-effective cover across Plymouth’s business parks, retail estates, and development zones. Random patrol times keep sites unpredictable, which is exactly what deters opportunists.

Drake Circus, Armada Way, the Barbican, Plymouth’s retail zones need more than cameras. Our guards deter theft, manage difficult customers, and keep staff feeling safe on every shift.
Building sites across Devonport, Derriford, and the city’s regeneration zones are high-value targets. We provide overnight guarding, K9 patrols, and access control so your plant and materials stay where you left them.
Over 18,000 students live and study in Plymouth. Accommodation blocks near the university need around-the-clock cover, access control, concierge guarding, and rapid response to incidents.
Plymouth’s port and logistics facilities hold significant stock around the clock. Our Plymouth security guards secure loading bays, monitor CCTV feeds, and control who enters, keeping your stock, equipment, and staff protected on every shift.
From Plymouth Pavilions events to seafront festivals and corporate functions, our team manages crowd flow, checks access, and responds fast to incidents. SIA-approved, uniformed, and experienced in large-venue environments.
Hospitals, GP surgeries, and care homes need calm, discreet security. Our guards handle access control at Derriford Hospital surroundings and community health sites, protecting patients, visitors, and clinical staff without disruption.
We are not a faceless national firm. We are a real team with real accreditations, 11 years of experience, and guards who show up on time, every time.
We are SIA Approved Contractors, ISO 9001:2015 certified, SafeContractor approved, and NASDU associate members for K9 operations. Every guard carries a valid SIA approval certificate; we check it, not just list it.
When you call at 2am, someone answers. Every incident gets a full written report with images, timeline, and police reference numbers where applicable. You are not left guessing what happened on your site.
We can mobilise security guards Plymouth-wide fast, often within 24–48 hours of an approved quote. Once deployed, we use our REMS guard tracking system: QR check-ins every 45 minutes, live incident alerts, and full shift reports direct to you.
No absenteeism surprises. Where cover issues arise, we resolve them in advance, not by leaving your site unguarded. You get a dedicated account manager, not a new voice on every call.
We price in line with UK government and public sector rates. Our price-match promise means if a verified competitor quotes the same service on the same terms, we match or beat it.
More importantly, we do not cut costs where it matters. Our guards are trained, vetted, and briefed for your specific site. Paying less for security that does not show up costs far more in the end.
