Using our PSA licensed Security partners Darlex Security, we can offer our clients a fully inclusive security service including Keyholding, Alarm response, Mobile Patrols and Lock-up services. Combining these services can provide a range of advantages for businesses and property owners.
Keyholding
Keyholding involves a licensed security company holding the keys to your property, allowing them to access the premises in case of emergencies or when needed.
Advantages:
- Rapid Emergency Response:
In the event of a break-in, fire, or other emergency, a security company with keys can quickly access the property and respond, minimising damage or loss. - No Personal Risk:
Without Keyholding services, a business owner or employee may be required to attend incidents personally, which could expose them to risk, particularly during late hours or in unsafe situations. - Compliance & Insurance:
Some insurance policies require you to employ services of a professional Keyholder to reduce risk to you or your employees, improve response times, and to ensure compliance with safety regulations. - 24/7 Availability:
A professional Keyholding service ensures that your property is covered at all hours, without the need to rely on employees or external contacts who may not be available at all times or have their phone switched off.
Mobile Patrols
Mobile patrols involve trained Security Guards patrolling designated properties, often to an unpredictable random schedule, to deter crime, show a visible presence and to provide general security checks. Electronic reports and proof of attendance can also be provided to the client if required. Any irregularities discovered during a patrol are notified to the authorities or to the client via pre-agreed response criteria.
Advantages:
- Deterrence of Crime:
The visible presence of a security vehicle patrolling the area serves as a deterrent to criminals, reducing the likelihood of burglaries, vandalism, or other criminal activities. - Flexible Coverage:
Mobile patrols can be scheduled or done randomly, making it difficult for criminals to predict when security will be present – increasing the overall effectiveness of security efforts. - Monitoring Multiple Locations:
Mobile patrols allow a security company to monitor several locations in a given area, providing cost-effective coverage for multiple sites with fewer resources. - Inspection & Maintenance:
While on patrol, security officers can also perform visual inspections of the premises to check for potential hazards, damage, or vulnerabilities (e.g., broken locks, unlocked doors, windows left open by staff etc.).
Lock-up Service (Open/Close)
Our Open/Close service provides a range of benefits to businesses and property owners. This service involves the Security Company performing scheduled opening and closing of your premises, including securing and unlocking doors, gates, windows, arming/disarming alarm systems, and performing essential checks to ensure the property is secure.
A critical time for businesses in particular is when locking up, as quite often this involves cash being removed from the premises. This service removes the risk from you and your staff, and also the risk of lost keys etc.
Overall Advantages of Combined Services
The combined benefits of choosing all these services are particularly strong.
- Comprehensive Coverage:
With a combination of reactive and proactive measures, the property is protected at all times. Mobile patrols prevent incidents from happening in the first place; Open/Closing ensures both you & your staff are safe at vulnerable times; while keyholding and alarm response ensure that any emergencies are handled swiftly and professionally. - 24/7 Protection:
These services provide round-the-clock security, reducing the need for a client to worry about the property after hours or during off-peak times. - Cost-Efficiency:
Combining services often results in a lower cost than purchasing each service separately. Additionally, it may reduce the need for permanent dedicated on-site security staff or additional insurance premiums. - Seamless Coordination:
With all services handled by a single provider, there is improved coordination in responding to incidents. The company can integrate their keyholding, alarm response, and patrol efforts to ensure a quick and cohesive response in any situation. - Enhanced Reputation:
For businesses, having a reliable security provider enhances the reputation of the company, as customers, employees, and clients feel safe knowing that the property is well-secured.
At Intellisec, we provide robust, flexible, and comprehensive solutions for protecting your property. These services not only reduce the risks of theft, damage, or vandalism but also offer peace of mind and improve operational efficiency for business owners and property managers. By combining these services, companies can ensure they have a proactive and reactive security plan in place, making them more resilient against potential security threats.
