Crime Scene Guarding
Police Forces are under pressure to counter rising crime rates and terrorist activity, in spite of reduced front line resources and budget constraints.
Enhancing police efficiency
Securitas works in partnership with the Police, offering private sector security expertise to keep officers where they’re needed most – on the front line protecting people and local communities. Securitas provides professional crime scene guarding to Avon and Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Gloucestershire, Dorset, Wiltshire and West Midlands Police. We are the only security provider to deliver this specialist service and also work with Major Crime Investigation Units (MCIU), and national agencies such as the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA). Securitas Crime Scene Guarding is a flexible and cost-effective solution. We can get to crime scenes quickly, secure the area and work alongside Police Officers to protect the local community.
