★★★★★5.0
★★★★★5.0SECURICO provides SIA-licensed security guard services for the government & public sector sector, covering manned guarding, mobile patrols, gatehouse and access control, key holding and event cover — UK-wide. Officers are vetted to BS 7858 and backed by a 24/7 operations centre.
From a single building officer to a managed team across a local-authority estate or framework contract.
Public sector security carries an extra weight of accountability: officers represent the body they work for, deal constantly with the public, and have to meet procurement and compliance standards that the private sector often doesn't. The work ranges from managing access and aggression at council receptions and customer-service centres to securing libraries, leisure centres, depots and public buildings, and protecting empty or sensitive sites out of hours. SECURICO supplies enhanced-vetted officers trained in conflict management, equality and the calm, even-handed public interaction these roles demand. We work to framework and contract requirements, provide auditable reporting, and integrate with in-house teams and CCTV control rooms. We cover local-authority buildings, customer-service centres, leisure and cultural venues, depots and public realm. Every officer is SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted — often to enhanced levels — and backed by our 24/7 control room.
Security guard services the government & public sector sector trusts
SECURICO provides professional security guard services for the government & public sector sector — manned guarding, mobile patrols, gatehouse cover and key holding, built around the risks specific to your sites and backed by a round-the-clock operations centre. We shape every contract to the setting rather than dropping in a generic guard.
Every SECURICO officer is directly employed, holds a valid SIA licence and is vetted to the BS 7858 British screening standard — never subcontracted. That means the standard you're promised is the standard that turns up, whether you need a single overnight officer or a managed team across multiple sites.
