On April 3rd and 6th, most of the UK workforce will be at home to celebrate Easter, but criminals likely won’t be.
Bank holidays are prime opportunities for thieves and vandals to commit crimes without being caught, or at least not easily.
Businesses and sites with CCTV and other security systems may not catch criminals in time, and for those completely unguarded, it’s an easy win for thieves. But you can’t change the bank holidays or keep people at work during them.
So what can you do?
During Easter bank holidays, it’s important to level up your security measures to deter criminals and catch any unauthorised visitors you may have in the quiet period.
The most effective deterrent for an inactive site or building is having a physical security presence. With manned guarding services, you can hire security guards to patrol and protect your property when no one is around, so criminals are less likely to steal from your business, and those who try will be caught and turned over to the police.
How will manned guarding services help?
Manned guarding services include one or multiple officers (depending on the size of the property and level of security required):
- Patrolling and monitoring sensitive areas
- Conducting regular perimeter checks to spot any suspicious activity or unauthorised access
- Opening and locking up the site securely
- Diffusing any instances of aggression
- And removing unauthorised individuals from the property
So during the bank holidays, when your staff aren’t around, your site and equipment are protected from theft.
How soon do I need to hire for Easter bank holidays?
It’s always best to prepare additional security measures as far in advance as possible, lining up a team of manned security guards for the Easter bank holidays to ensure protection when you need it.
We’d recommend booking a few weeks or days in advance, but we can organise a manned security hire with only a few hours’ notice if needed.
