Nobody should simply be given an address and told, "Be there for 8 pm."

📋 Before the first shift, somebody needs to understand the site.

Where are the entrances?

What areas are restricted?

Who is authorised?

What happens during an emergency?

Where are the keys?

Who should be contacted?

What are the actual duties?

Good site instructions remove guesswork.

An officer walking onto a site completely blind is unfair on the officer and dangerous for the client.

Preparation doesn't need to be complicated.

It simply needs to happen.

For licensable security work, checking an SIA licence should be basic housekeeping.

🪪 Don't simply assume the company has checked it.

Look at the licence.

Check the photograph.

Check the expiry date.

Check that the licence covers the work they're actually carrying out.

Professional suppliers should already have systems for checking their officers, but clients shouldn't feel uncomfortable asking either.

You're allowing somebody responsibility for your premises, customers, employees or property.

Asking whether they're properly licensed isn't insulting.

It's sensible.

A uniform doesn't automatically make somebody a security professional.

Ask awkward questions.

A decent security company won't mind.

👮 Who supervises the officers?

What happens when somebody phones in sick?

How are officers vetted?

Who do I telephone at 2am?

Will you visit our site beforehand?

How often will management visit?

What happens if an officer isn't suitable?

Will we regularly get the same people?

And importantly: what happens when something goes wrong?

Don't be dazzled by brochures, badges and promises.

You're buying a service delivered by people, often when nobody else is around.

You need confidence in those people and the company behind them.

Everyone has a budget.

We understand that.

💷 But security isn't something you want to discover you've bought badly after an incident.

Saving £1 an hour sounds attractive until officers regularly arrive late, shifts aren't covered, uniforms are poor, nobody answers the telephone and you're constantly explaining the same instructions to another new face.

Cheap security can become expensive management.

There's nothing wrong with asking suppliers to justify their price. In fact, you should.

But compare what you're actually receiving rather than simply looking at the number at the bottom.

There's no sensible single answer.

The cost depends on the hours, location, duties, responsibilities, required experience, and whether you're asking for days, nights, weekends, and/or Bank Holidays.

💷 But one thing is worth remembering: the hourly price isn't the security officer's wage.

The supplier still has wages, holiday pay, National Insurance, pension contributions, insurance, uniforms, recruitment, training, supervision, administration and cover to think about.

A suspiciously cheap hourly rate usually means something somewhere is being squeezed, and quite often, that's the person standing on your gate at 3 am.

A twelve-hour security shift is a long time.

But you're paying for twelve hours of security, not two hours of work spread across a twelve-hour period.

👀 Depending on the site, an officer could be controlling access, checking vehicles, completing patrols, watching vulnerable areas, checking doors and gates, dealing with visitors, recording incidents and simply noticing when something doesn't look right.

There will naturally be quieter periods, and that's normal.

But quiet doesn't mean switched off.

A good officer remains alert because incidents rarely announce when they're incoming.

🤔 So if that's what you're expecting from an officer, how much should you realistically expect to pay for one?

Not only are we focused on keeping businesses and people safe, but we are also focused on helping those unfortunate throughout our communities and in doing so, we give a nugget of each full-time settled invoice to our chosen charity at that time.

Could you be the next full-time beneficiary of our services, and in doing so, feel the gift of knowing you are playing a part in the community?

This year is Cash for Kids in Cumbria because their team of helpers really do play a massive part in the lives of children less fortunate than your average family.

Not just at Christmas time, but all year round, they surprise and assist families and children falling short in today's challenges.

Like a famous shopping brand famously says.... 'Every little helps'; and indirectly it would mean you are helping too, and at no extra cost to yourselves.

Together we can improve the lives of the young, unfortunate kids and families.

Not every business needs a security guard, and this is worth saying from the start.

👮 Sometimes better lighting, locks, CCTV, fencing or simply changing a working practice can solve the concern.

But if you've got people coming and going, valuable equipment, an empty site overnight, previous thefts, unwanted visitors or staff working alone, having someone physically there can make a considerable difference.

A good security compan𝘆 shouldn't immediately tell you that you need three guards and a twelve-month contract, but they should first understand your concerns.

Security should have a purpose, not just simply fill a chair.

🤔 And if you do need somebody there, what should that security officer actually be doing for the hours you're paying for?

Does the above include you? Take a moment to reflect.
