Looking for personal protection in Durham? IGI Security Services provides licensed, professional cover throughout North East — day, night, weekends and at short notice.
Personal protection in Durham tailored to your routine — school runs, business, travel and social life kept safe without disruption.
As part of our wider close protection in Durham, this service is delivered by officers who are trained, licensed and briefed specifically to your premises. Close protection (CP) is the professional protection of a person from harm, harassment or intrusion. It combines advance reconnaissance, secure travel, residential security and a trained CP officer or team who manage risk discreetly.
Local knowledge matters. Our officers work regularly across Durham and North East, so they understand the area's layout, its busy periods and the kinds of incidents that occur — and that shapes how we plan your personal protection.
Executives, high-net-worth individuals and families, public figures, celebrities, diplomats and anyone facing a specific threat use close protection to move and live safely without a heavy, intrusive footprint. If that sounds like your situation in Durham, we can help — and there's no job too small or too large.
Tell us what you need in Durham. We assess the premises, risks and hours to agree the right cover — with no obligation.
You get a clear, no-surprises quote and assignment instructions in writing before anything starts.
SIA-licensed, BS 7858-vetted officers are matched to your site and briefed on your exact requirements.
A named contact, monitored sign-in and regular reporting keep your Durham cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.
Every officer we send to Durham holds a valid licence from the Security Industry Authority (SIA), the UK regulator for private security. SIA licensing is a legal requirement for security work — and we never deploy an unlicensed officer, whatever the pressure or timescale.
Our officers are screened to BS 7858 — the British Standard for vetting security personnel. That means identity, right-to-work, employment history and character are properly checked before anyone sets foot on your Durham site.
We operate around the clock in Durham. Whether it's a planned contract or an urgent same-day request, there's always a real person to answer, and we can often have a licensed officer with you quickly.
Emergencies don't wait, so we don't either. For short-notice cover in Durham — after an incident, a failed contract or a sudden threat — we move fast to get an officer on site.
Whether uniformed and highly visible or low-key and discreet, our Durham officers look and act the part — because how security carries itself changes how people behave around it.
Every shift in Durham is logged. You get time-stamped patrol records, incident reports and clear handovers — so your cover is fully auditable and ready for insurers or management.
Our Durham teams use the right tools for the job: real-time sign-in and check-calls, GPS patrol logging, body-worn video where appropriate, and integration with any CCTV or alarms you already have.
Full insurance is a baseline, not an extra. Our Durham cover is backed by public and employer's liability insurance, with documentation available whenever you need it for a tender or contract.
A typical Durham assignment might start with a call on WhatsApp, a same-day site visit, and a licensed officer on shift within days — sometimes hours for urgent work. From there, cover settles into an agreed rota with regular reporting, adjusted whenever your needs change.
There's no one-size-fits-all price for personal protection in Durham: a single event shift costs very differently to 24/7 permanent cover. Tell us what you need and we'll come back with an honest, fixed quote for the work described.

Not sure whether personal protection is the right choice for your Durham site? We'll tell you honestly. Sometimes a mobile patrol or monitored CCTV does the job at lower cost than a static officer — and sometimes only a full-time presence will do. We recommend what actually fits, not what's most expensive.
A good security team reduces risk without creating new ones. Our Durham officers are trained in de-escalation and safe, lawful conduct, so incidents are handled calmly and your liability is protected.
