Site walk
A manager visits, walks the perimeter with you and notes entry points, lighting, blind spots and existing camera coverage.
SWP Security Services started with two night patrols and a van. We now run static guarding, mobile patrols and remote camera monitoring across the region, mostly for clients who found us through someone we already work for.
Every officer is vetted, uniformed and briefed on your site before their first shift. Nothing is subcontracted out.
A retail unit on a high street and a fenced plant yard need different things. We walk the site first, write down where the weak points are, then price the smallest arrangement that actually closes them.
If a cheaper option will do the job, we say so. You get the assignment instructions in writing before anyone starts.
Guards stay in contact with the control room on a dedicated channel.
Scan points around the site prove each round was walked in full.
Keys held in a graded safe, signed in and out on every use.
Incidents, visitors and faults logged and emailed the next morning.
Every officer is screened before deployment and the paperwork is available to you on request. We do not put unchecked staff on a site.
The officers on your site are on our payroll. You are not paying a margin to an agency that then hires whoever is available.
Patrol scans, shift logs and incident reports are kept for twelve months and can be pulled for an insurer or a landlord.
Straightforward sites can be covered within a week. Larger contracts take longer because the vetting and the site brief take longer.
A manager visits, walks the perimeter with you and notes entry points, lighting, blind spots and existing camera coverage.
You get a plan with hours, officer numbers, patrol frequency and a fixed weekly cost. No obligation and no automatic renewal.
Named officers are assigned and briefed on site. They meet your contact, learn the layout and read the assignment instructions.
Shifts begin. Reports arrive each morning and a manager reviews the contract with you at the end of the first month.
Small management team, long-serving officers. You get a direct number rather than a call centre.
We had three break-ins on the yard in one winter. SWP put a patrol on it in four days and moved the scan points to where the fence was actually being cut. Nothing since. The morning report is the part I did not expect to rely on, but I read it every day.
Our previous firm sent someone different every week and none of them knew where anything was. The two officers we have now have been on the reception desk for over a year. Residents know them by name, which has done more for complaints than any camera.
They connected to the cameras we already had rather than selling us a new system, which is what everyone else quoted for. An operator caught someone in the loading bay at two in the morning and talked them off the site over the speaker before we even got the call.
We only needed door cover for a four-day market, and they were the one firm that did not try to push us onto an annual contract. Officers arrived early, were polite with stallholders and handled two arguments without any of it turning into a scene.
The duty desk is answered around the clock. Emergency cover can be on site the same night if the situation calls for it.
