Introduction
Manned security is literally the use of people to secure an area. The role of manned security has developed a great deal in the last 10 years with the Government making it harder for criminals to man events which can in turn lead to drug trafficking. It is important when considering which company (such as Bernic UK) that they have the relevant experience and British Standards indicators such as BS 7499: 2008 and BS 7858: 2008.
1. More ROBUST than CCTV
Physical patrols can cover large areas at any time unlike security cameras which are fixed and can break down.
2. Physical appearance & VISIBLE approach
A deterrent is always better than a cure. Having “men on the ground” is both reassuring for law abiding individuals, but it also puts off potential trouble makers.
3. Proactive and can COMMUNICATE directly
Manned security can seek out specific problems and communicate in plain English back to base using a variety of means.
4. SOLVE matters/problems instantly
Having a “human touch” means situations which may be sensitive do not get out of control. Issues can be isolated and moved.
5. Patrolling routes can be QUICKLY established using latest systems (Reslink)
Manned security is also about organization. Having a set patrol route and a given time table means operationally the work is controlled and managed to maximum efficiency.
Conclusion
In conclusion Manned Security offers a flexible and real time approach to venues. It can be scaled up or down depending on the size of the event. The reaction time of individuals is quick and allows for a human interface if there is an issue or emergency situation. Bernic UK endorse both BS 7499: 2008 and BS 7858: 2008 practices and are members of the Security Industry Authority (SIA), Bernic UK can also boast their Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) accreditation in recognition of our high standards, ethical approach and professional values and expertise.
