• Static Guard 
  GCC Security officers, who are trained to industry standard BS 7499:2013 and subject to extensive background checks, will patrol premises inside and outside, providing protection to construction sites, premises and equipment. They can carry out duties including verification of identity, surveillance and intelligence gathering.
   
• Key holding 
  Working to BS 7984-1 our security officers can ensure that your keys are secure and provide a service for tenanted and vacant properties. We are able to provide access support to staff, tradesmen, and contractors at weekends, in the evening, or as part of an incident response if an alarm is activated (24hrs a day).
   
• Incident Response 
  If an alarm activation is received, a mobile patrol will be dispatched to the site to try and establish the cause for the alarm and support the emergency services to resolve the issue and re-secure the premises. As the authorised key holders for out-of-hours incidents we provide support for major incidents such as Fire/Flood or rescue, and minor incidents such as the boarding-up of premises.
   
• Mobile Security Patrols
  Our mobile security patrols are a highly visible and effective deterrent response service where officers can provide regular, unplanned, or intelligence-led patrols throughout the day or night. Patrols can be both internal or external as per the customer's requirements and should an incident occur, we promptly implement your emergency procedures.  
   
• Security Surveys 
  We offer fully comprehensive security site surveys, which will provide both practical and technology-based solutions for your security challenges.
