The aim of security is to protect people and property from the ever-present risks of fire, flood, theft, vandalism, terrorism and occasionally, industrial espionage.

Our security services fall into four main categories:

Manned guarding
Mobile patrols
Keyholding with rapid alarm response
Security advisory service

Manned guarding
Manned guarding is the provision of suitably trained, screened and uniformed Security Officers, who have been contracted to provide a physical security presence at an agreed customer's premises. This service is usually charged by an hourly rate.

Nowhere does Elite Security promote quality
more so than with our individual Security Officers, for these are the people who will be working directly with our customers on a daily basis, and therefore, their performance is of paramount importance to our overall success.

To ensure that we deliver a service that is totally commensurate with our customers' manned guarding requirements, we adhere to rigorous selection, screening, and training procedures.

All potential Elite Security employees undergo an intense selection process which exceeds British Standards, and includes each candidate completing a searching application form, that has been specifically designed to be far more revealing than any self-initiated curriculum vitae could ever be. Screening is then carried out which includes a thorough investigation into the individual's background over the immediate, previous ten years, with written references from former employers being mandatory. This can of course, be extended to cover a twenty year period, should it be a prerequisite for the contract, or considered necessary to maintain the integrity of a particular assignment.

Every Security Officer employed by Elite Security is specifically selected to serve a particular customer, and therefore, each individual is tested to ensure that they have the correct aptitude for that position. Only then will they undergo the extensive training necessary to provide them with the relevant skills and knowledge to satisfactorily undertake the assignment.

Mobile patrols
When a customer feels it unnecessary to employ the permanent presence of a Security Officer, but simply wishes to ensure the ongoing integrity of their premises, they may request the provision of our mobile patrol service.

This entails an agreed number of
recorded but random visits to their assignment, by a uniformed Mobile Supervisor in a suitably liveried patrol vehicle. During each visit, thorough security checks are carried out and anything untoward is reported and recorded.

For Health & Safety reasons, all Mobile Supervisors are in regular contact with our 24-hour Control Room, and to confirm their exact whereabouts at any specific time, all Elite Security patrol vehicles are fitted with satellite navigational systems which act as a tracker of their location.

Keyholding with rapid alarm response
Where certain customers rely totally on alarm systems for their silent hours security, they may require Elite Security to provide them with a keyholding service.

This involves the customer's
unmarked keys, or other means of gaining access to their premises, being held in a suitable, secure, Elite Security Group location. Ideally, this should be no more than 20 minutes away.

In the event of an alarm activation, Elite Security will attend the premises as quickly as possible, to investigate the cause. Should it prove to be a false alarm, we will reset the system, secure the premises once again, and advise the customer of the situation on the morning of the next working day.

Should the alarm activation prove to be more sinister, the police and the customer's after hours contact will be notified immediately. We would then await the arrival of the customer's representative and the police, and offer whatever assistance may be necessary to both. Once again, we would remain in place until such time as the premises had been re-secured and the alarm reset. Full incident reports would be initiated and forwarded to the customer in due course.

Security advisory service
Based on our many years of security experience, the Elite Security Group senior management team are readily available to offer good, sound security advice to our customers, whenever it may be necessary, and often during monthly minuted meetings. This advisory service is currently free to all existing Elite Security Group customers.
