What is residential close protection?

Residential close protection in City of London — securing the home and the people in it, combining CP officers with residential security measures.

As part of our wider close protection in City of London, 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.

Free site assessment

Tell us what you need in City of London. We assess the premises, risks and hours to agree the right cover — with no obligation.

Written proposal & quote

You get a clear, no-surprises quote and assignment instructions in writing before anything starts.

Vetted officers deployed

SIA-licensed, BS 7858-vetted officers are matched to your site and briefed on your exact requirements.

Managed & reported

A named contact, monitored sign-in and regular reporting keep your City of London cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.

SIA-licensed officers

Every officer we send to City of London 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.

BS 7858 vetting & screening

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 City of London site.

Available 24/7 in City of London

Security doesn't keep office hours, and neither do we. Cover in City of London is available day and night, all year round, with someone real answering every call and message.
