Security companies, increasingly numerous in Europe, have become a necessity in recent times to ensure the protection of individuals and property. Private security companies provide clients with security agents, close protection personnel, or dog handlers. They offer various services.
Close protection
Close protection involves providing you with a CPP (Close Protection Officer) to ensure your safety during your travels while considering the laws in force. The CPP, more commonly referred to as a bodyguard, has generally undergone training in this regard. Their main functions involve securing the places you frequent or visit and the immediate surroundings. Sometimes, depending on the client’s status and context, close security teams are required. A bodyguard is primarily responsible for protecting you against potential threats to your life. But also against overflow, disturbances, or external intrusions of which you may be the target. Generally, close protection is requested by politicians or public figures, large business executives, or legal professionals.
Home guarding
This service consists of ensuring the protection of your belongings in your home (house or apartment) against potential intrusions. The private security company carries out several actions that keep your home active even in case of absence, thus preventing any external intentions of burglary or intrusion. The guard assigned to your home will have the mission to perform regular rounds, collect your mail, turn lights on or off, open and close windows, water the plants, and mow the lawn.
The mission here mainly consists of physical guarding. However, it can happen that technological means are added: remote surveillance, alarms…
Vehicle guarding
This is a solution offered to individuals looking for a way to park their vehicle for a given period. This option allows you to secure your car, scooter, camper van, or trailer in a private, secure area. Therefore, there is no longer a need to search for a free parking spot if you lack space at home or if you go on vacation.
Generally, this type of service gives you the opportunity to receive compensation in case your vehicle is vandalized or suffers any inconvenience during the guarding period.
Business guarding
For your business, security is essential. The risks faced by a company are numerous: burglary, industrial espionage, theft or destruction of equipment. To allow you to be somewhat sheltered from these incidents, a private security company offers several services:
- Control and surveillance of access to your company’s site;
- Constant guarding and protection of the site;
- Conducting surveillance rounds on foot or by vehicle;
- Welcoming and directing the public;
- Monitoring the functioning of various technical equipment of the company;
- Control of the internal security system;
- Immediate intervention in case of an incident.
An increasing number of private security companies, in addition to classic services, offer more technical services. This includes, for example, the manufacturing or installation of alarms, surveillance systems, or access control. All these combined services optimize your security.
