Double the Protection with Security Dogs and Handlers

Posted by admin on February 9, 2012 at 9:19 am. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

We understand that you will want to keep your premises protected at all times, which is why we here at Digital Security Services can offer fantastic security dogs and security dog handlers.

Our security dogs and security dog handlers can often replace multiple security officers, as the canine can become a physical and psychological deterrent. Therefore, not only can they offer double the protection, but they can cut back on your security costs. How fantastic is that?

Security dogs and handlers are ideal in situations with criminals and youths, and can ultimately provide the security guard with the protection they need to handle difficult situations.

Animals have better senses than humans, which is why they can identify whether a tracker is on a property before a guard does. The dog will ultimately bark loud to inform the officer that there is a criminal onsite or scare away the trespasser.

We are a leading security company that specialises in security solutions for a variety of purposes, such as event security, site patrols and so much more. We can provide our security dog handling services for a short, long term or permanent contract. As well as being man’s best friend, our security dogs can also quickly become your company’s new best friend.

Whatever your security needs, you should be sure to make us here at Digital Security Services your first and only port of call. Contact us today to find out more.

 

Corporate Event Planning? Think security

Posted by admin on January 25, 2012 at 3:19 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

If you are the designated event planner for your company you want everything to go without any complications. However, trying to keep track of everything is near impossible. One of the things that you should definitely hand over to a professional company is the event security. Security at corporate events is not only necessary for preventing any party crashers from entering the event they can also help to clamp down on any potential criminal activity.

Thieves know that at events such as these people are usually wearing their best and most expensive attire. Often they can be practiced in spotting and taking expensive jewellery items. If the event is a charity ball or auction then it may be the case that many attendees will be carrying large sums of money that they will try and target. Also, as the champagne and other alcoholic beverages flow throughout the night, people become slightly more careless with their belongings and may leave bags or coats unattended. Security officers will provide protection against theft. This works in two ways by firstly keeping an eye on any potential crimes being committed and also, by simple being a present show of force, can act as a deterrent.

Event security guards can also keep the event private. They can take control over checking that only those who are strictly invited are allowed to enter. Security at an event takes some of the stress out of your job so you can relax and concentrate on ensuring everything runs smoothly and everyone had a good time.

 

Why Key Holding Companies are a Necessity

Posted by admin on January 15, 2012 at 3:17 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

Key holding is concerned with what could potentially happen after you leave your home or workplace. We realise how much every individual values their possessions and guaranteeing their safety is a good way to ensure your peace of mind. With so many incidents that could possibly happen, having a trusted key holding company in place to react to any eventuality is the best way to protect your assets.

Key holding by security agencies like us may not mean having personnel inside your home while you are away but having officers on standby in case something goes wrong. This is especially beneficial if you leave for an extended period of time; on holiday for example. The simplest thing, like a faulty socket or an appliance that has not been switched off, can cause the greatest of catastrophes. Key holders are able to prevent these incidents from escalating.

Security officers are able to alert you about any events in case you need to return. They can be a more long term service or a onetime necessity depending on your personal circumstances. Trusting your keys to a professional company also stops you from worrying that your house sitter is throwing a party at your expense or that your neighbour is comparing your home to theirs. We pride ourselves on security and discretion with years of experience to make sure your home’s security is not compromised just because you are not there.

 

Security Mobile Patrols for Your Business

Posted by admin on January 5, 2012 at 3:10 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

For any business owner crime and theft is a major concern and one of the best ways to combat this problem is to hire an agency like us that offers mobile patrol services. We know that the best way to fight crime is to prevent it happening in the first place. Having our security officers on site can make any potential criminal reconsider before they even commit a crime.

If a criminal is aware of mobile patrol officers present in the area of their intended activity then this can deter and stop their plans. Mobile patrol services are trained and have real experience in prevention of criminal activity. They serve as your response and protection for however long it takes for the police to arrive. That the team will already be situated on your premises means that in the eventuality of any type of incident they are in prime position to act.

Also the patrolling officers will know their client and can advise them on the procedure to follow next. The team also provides an advantage when there is no one on site in the case of an alarm being raised. If the owner is away from the property they can secure the site until either the client or the police are able to attend. Security patrolling is the best way to keep your companies premises safe protecting both employees and property with an efficient and specific service tailored to your needs.

 

Protect your Company with Security Personnel

Posted by admin on December 21, 2011 at 3:21 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

With the reliance on technology at an all time high, where everything is becoming computerised with many different devices, it is not suprising that companies are becoming more and more concerned with security and the safety of their assets. If you own a company that has a central property for business or holds merchandise and products then it is well worth considering security guard services.

Security services can be a number of different things depending on the requirements of the company. We are flexible in our service and aim to provide the most specific security possible. Security can range from permanent guard staff to day or night protection. Depending on the nature of business it may be worth considering a round the clock service. Thieves are one of the main concerns for businesses that trade expensive and valuable goods on a daily basis. Leaving this kind of stock in an unsecure location overnight can be increasing the chances of theft and attempted break ins.

Having security guards stationed visibly within or around the building not only gives you protection against the event of a break in but also acts as a potential deterrent. Deterring thieves is a much better way to protect you and your business than merely a response team that act during or after the theft has occurred.  We are committed to ensuring the best service from security guard companies and maintain the highest standards of security guarding.

 

The Importance of Security

Posted by admin on December 14, 2011 at 3:18 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

Security used to be reserved for the rich and famous classes of society but in today’s world the importance for merely basic security is beginning to affect everyone. The rate of theft and petty crime is high and, with the feeling of community spirit seemingly decreasing, the need for security guard services is on the rise. This is especially important for office buildings, schools, religious places and apartments. These locations are often hotspots for trespassers and thieves. Security guards are able to provide the ultimate protection for both property and people.

In addition to physical security by a guard it is a good idea to use security measures such as CCTV, other video monitoring systems and alarms. These companies usually provide these services readily. The different type of security is based on the building and other factors. For example, residential security typically employs a guard on a twenty four hour watch to only allow residents and authorised persons into the building. This differs to security guarding in a department store who would be required in trading hours but the store would be protected by an alarm system otherwise. These measures allow you to function on a day to day basis knowing that you have the best protection possible. With so many different service options available from security guard companies, you can be protected and have peace of mind on any budget range.

 

Choosing the Right Crowd Control

Posted by admin on December 7, 2011 at 3:11 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

When organising or hosting an event on a large scale it can be a complex challenge to ensure all aspects conform to the ideal of what you are trying to create. Private events can be tricky to manage and maintain as an exclusive event. This is where a security company can help keep the party or other such event solely for those who it is intended for. However, there are a number of things to look for when choosing the best event security.

The security company you opt for should only employ security officers that have acquired the correct qualifications and licenses. It is always a good idea to check for any additional certification such as first aid training that may be relevant. This not only allows for your event to have the optimum security protection but also allows for protection against any unexpected eventualities. Choose a company with an excellent reputation with much experience and expertise. The event stewards you choose should be familiar with your local area to be able to attend to situation based on their understanding of the people and environment.

Lastly, for a one off event it is best to avoid companies that require you to sign a long-term contract but request a reasonable fee for the hiring of their guards. It is good to draw up or ask for a specific breakdown of costs and prices so that extra services are not charged for and the budget can remain on target.

 

Children and Events

Posted by admin on November 22, 2011 at 11:04 am. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

We believe in a friendly, informative approach to managing child-oriented events. The threat of crime and violence can be just as prevalent at a children’s event as at a city music festival, so our event security services are designed to be as flexible as possible.

If you’re organising a child-friendly event or attending an event yourself, here are a few tips to consider alongside our event security services.

•    Make sure children understand what security representatives look like in terms of clothing, so they know who to go to for help. Make sure they know exactly who to head for in an emergency.
•    Make sure the child understands what to do if they become separated or lost – find an event steward or security professional.
•    Make sure each child has a copy of their adult supervisor’s name and contact details on their person. Lanyards with plastic pockets work well.
•    Be clear about the boundaries of where they can go – a child can disappear in a crowd very easily (only to be returned 3 minutes later in the capable arms of one of our security officers!)
•    Weather can change any time, to make sure all adult supervisors are carrying adequate weather provisions for each child.
•    Kids are vulnerable to crime too, so don’t let them become targets by carrying purses obviously.

 

Think Ahead to 2012 Festival Security

Posted by admin on November 17, 2011 at 11:02 am. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

Although the likes of Glastonbury won’t be revisited during 2012, the popularity of festivals in the UK looks set to increase further with the addition of Olympic events, local festivals and new ventures. We’re already looking to 2012 and developing security plans for various festival events. Is your event covered yet?

In 2011 we provided the likes of event stewards, dog handling teams and mobile response units to a diverse spectrum of festivals. Regardless of festival type and atmosphere, we believe in a sensible, serious approach to festival security. Our handling of festivals has led to longstanding relationships with numerous clients, helping us to develop our crowd management and security teams to an exceptional level.

When it comes to reliable festival security and organisation, the key is to prepare early and afford as much time as possible to create event security services and protocols to adequately cover the event. The scale of the festival is, of course, very important, but scale is something we know how to handle. We apply the same exceptionally trained professionals to all festival settings.

Is your festival a local event for a small crowd? Is it a nationally attended festival aimed at teens? The key to our success is in knowing the trials and tribulations particular crowds can present. For example, music festivals frequently result in crowd control issues, arts festivals are typically quieter affairs. Our teams aren’t just there to prevent violence. We believe in comprehensive training, a finely-honed eye and exceptional performance.
