We expect that you have ensured that CCTV surveillance systems and security guards are at the top of your security checklist during this festive period. However, we have an insight into the best security services you can use to protect your business this Christmas.
The Christmas season has traditionally seen an increase in crime and anti-social behaviour. Chancers will strike anywhere from burglaries to fly-tipping and trespassing.Furthermore, alcohol at Christmas parties or tensions from Christmas shopping can make the most innocent people change their behaviour and commit an anti-social behaviour offence.
What crime affects businesses during Christmas? (And how to tackle it)
Retail
Retail crime doesn’t just equate to theft. According to the 2021 BRC Festive FAQs, there were over 400 incidents of violence and threats against retail staff daily. The laws against individuals who cause these offences are strict enough, making it easier for people to threaten staff with no regard.
Tackle this with security guards who will work as a team in these environments. We suggest outsourcing at least two security guards to one store. This way, they can strategically plan where to place themselves to deter theft and reduce violence and threats.
Construction Sites and Vacant Properties
Due to unoccupied space and expensive equipment left on site, the construction industry and vacant properties face high levels of offences during Christmas alike. Theft costs the construction industry 800 million pounds annually. Thus, a security service that features mobile patrol or manned guarding will prove beneficial in these situations.

Key-holding and Alarm response
Let us hold a copy of the keys to your business in our secure location. If the alarm on your premises is activated, a member of security team will visit and check on your business. Upon inspection, we will ensure everything is secure and inform the relevant authorities and contact you if anything has been damaged.
Mobile Patrol
With a mobile patrol service, security guards will visit your sites randomly to ensure that everything remains as it should be.
CCTV and surveillance monitoring
A CCTV and surveillance system is essential for all businesses; however, when accompanied by a CCTV operative, the level of protection is taken higher.

A CCTV monitoring service is that should any crime occur, an SIA licenced officer will handle the situation by working alongside the police, further helping to resolve the problem.
