What is residential close protection?

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

In Shortlands, our residential close protection sits within a complete close protection offering, so cover can scale up or down as your needs change. 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 Shortlands. 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 Shortlands cover running smoothly, with the flexibility to adjust.

SIA-licensed officers

BS 7858 vetting & screening

The people protecting your Shortlands premises are thoroughly vetted to BS 7858, so you can be confident in who's on site — not just that they hold a licence, but that they've been properly background-checked.
