Security guard services
SIA licensed security officers
Manned guarding, traffic management, concierge, K9 handlers, mobile patrols and event security across the North West.
Manned Guarding
If you require a physical presence, hourly patrols or a visual deterrent from crime, our manned guarding option will suit you. All DMS security officers are SIA licensed and carefully selected by our recruitment team to ensure the DMS high-quality standard.
We provide SIA professionally trained uniformed officers acting as a permanent presence on your project or premises. With our visual deterrent and immediate response, this live presence can deter intruders on site and reduce losses by burglary, arson, vandalism, anti-social behaviour and malicious damage.
Our SIA manned guarding solution provides a tried and tested approach to meeting security needs on construction sites, vacant premises, out of hours warehouses, shopping centres and more.
Manned guarding can also include:
- Lock up / open up
- Keyholding
- Meet and greet visitors
- Log in and out duties
- Full internal / perimeter patrol (optional GPS reports)
- First point of contact to emergency services
- Fire extinguisher visual checks
- Admin duties
Additional option: a GPS tracker that can track our security guards' locations. Reports can be processed to provide evidence of patrols and guard presence. Great to use for lone working capabilities.

Traffic Management
A DMS traffic marshal / banksman can ensure you are legally compliant to provide traffic management to your project. The management and organisation skills a traffic marshal brings to the project ensure the safe movement of vehicles, pedestrians and the public.
These specially trained personnel can offer a quality gate management system to your site which can dramatically reduce the workload of site management or foremen.
With the Gatemen package you get much more than just a person at the gate:
- A visual deterrent from crime
- A delivery management service, able to quickly direct and arrange the offloading of deliveries
- A delivery schedule monitor responsible for ensuring deliveries arrive at allocated times
- Access control to avoid unauthorised personnel
- A regulator of car parking
- An appointed key holder
- Importantly, an excellent first impression to your site to meet and greet visitors

Concierge
A concierge can be a vital part of any apartment building, hotel or large office building. Acting as an integral part of your team, our concierge service can carry out reception duties, meeting and greeting guests, security duties and, importantly, ensuring your customers' satisfaction.
DMS can supply professionally trained, uniformed, SIA security officers in a concierge role, all of whom are made aware of the site-specific assignment instructions to ensure you receive the highest level of service designed around your requirements.
What a DMS concierge can bring to your business:
- A welcoming face to meet and greet guests
- Day & night security cover
- Security management
- Reception duties
- Visitor management
- Signing for deliveries
- Managing delivery schedules
- Attendance logs
- Issuing passes
- Keyholding
- Booking shows, taxis and event tickets

K9 Dog Handlers
DMS provide dogs for a variety of reasons but the results remain constant: thieves and vandals do not like them! Our dog handlers are NASDU certified.
DMS recognise the requirement for guard dogs on clients' sites and have formed a variety of solutions designed to meet your project's needs:
- Option 1: Guard dog based on site in a kennel. This solution is strictly for a small site with a complete perimeter fence line.
- Option 2: The K9 manned guarding team, based on site at any hours agreed with the customer and patrolling together at least every hour.
- Option 3: The mobile patrol guard dog team. This team can make regular visits to business premises or just respond to an alarm activation.

Mobile Patrols
We have a dedicated team of mobile patrolling security supervisors patrolling our clients' properties and sites out of hours. They can offer a cost-effective security solution to any project or premises at any time.
When opting for our mobile security patrol service, our mobile officers will visit your premises at agreed schedules and carry out any agreed activities to ensure the continued security of your site.
What can be included in your patrol:
- Full internal / external patrol
- Full perimeter patrol site check
- Window, door and vulnerable points check
- Facilities check
- Kitchen check
- Fire extinguisher check
- Clear desk auditing
- Accompanied visit, walking round with site management
- Keyholding
- Meeting emergency services
- Void property check

Car Park Attendants
Our car park attendants provide a professional service to car parks throughout the North West, to deter common problems such as vandalism, theft and anti-social behaviour.
Our car park attendant service reduces risks and deters crime, plus provides many other benefits including:
- Car park management
- Meet and greet customers, clients and visitors
- Visual deterrent from crime
- Money handling
- CCTV monitoring
- Barrier / gate control
- Admin duties
- Keyholding

Access Control Officer
If you wish to rent or purchase an access control system, we can provide a trained SIA access control officer to complete the admin duties surrounding the software. Clients have legal and ethical responsibilities to accurately monitor who is on their premises. An access controller can use our system to manage site facilities; this not only stops unauthorised entry but also records and stores site reports such as:
- Time and attendance
- Fire roll call
- Travel to work
- CSCS card validity checks
- KPI reports
- Temperature screening

Event Security
For events and larger parties, DMS can provide SIA professional, experienced and validated security staff.
Security at such events helps to control access for personnel entering the event, manage crowds and keep a proactive approach to potential threats or risks.
Our trained SIA staff will be inducted prior to the event, and our in-house NEBOSH qualified Health and Safety Manager will complete risk assessments before works commence to ensure all risks are limited and a method of works is in place and communicated.
