Manned Guarding London Security - Our Guards

At 1st Class Protection, we are proud to deploy manned guarding security officers and company guards, who come with a wealth of knowledge and experience in how to guard and protect a location and the people on site. Many of our company guards come from an Armed Forces and Policing background. All our manned security guards are inducted into the company by undertaking an intensive training programme at our Training Academy. This includes self-defence lessons and how to manage security breaches and threatening scenarios as discreetly and effectively as possible. Those in the industry revere our training programme, so much so that we regularly receive requests to train guards outside of our company to provide the very best of manned guarding services in London.

All our security guards hold the accredited SIA licence and undergo a DBS check before joining our manned guarding team. Furthermore, they are First Aid trained to respond to emergencies before the ambulance or police arrive.
