ON-SITE SECURITY POWER TO THE PEOPLE WHO EMPOWER YOU THE HEART OF YOUR PROTECTION It’s more than officers guarding your premises. People are the lifeblood of every business, so we don’t just protect them – we invest in them. Investing in better We’re investing in our people, so you can continue to enjoy complete peace of mind in the knowledge your people, premises and reputation are safe. All our UK security officers will be fully qualified Protective Services Officers (PSOs) by the end of 2020, because only the best will do. Officers are trained in our very own Learning & Development Academy, which is City & Guilds accredited, as is the PSO course itself. We’re raising the standard of security officers across the industry. Qualified to protect you PSOs are qualified in First Aid at Work, Counter Terrorism, Protective Services Methodology and Customer Experience. They’re also trained Fire Marshals. At the end of it, you’re in the safest hands, with smart, responsive and proactive officers who are proud to protect your business. 10,000 trained PSOs by 2020 Trained PSOs 2017 A fair day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.
