Control Room
Kestrel Guards has its own 24 hour Control and Communication Centre which is constructed and inspected to the specification of British Standard 7499 and staffed by our own trained experienced security personnel. It is equipped with a Tagtronic Guard Monitoring system, Digital Voice Recording for all calls and GPS Tracker system linked in real time to all company vehicles.
The Control Centre directs, monitors and supervises every aspect of the Company’s operation round-the-clock, receiving and processing information, assessing situations and maintaining communication with emergency services, client contacts, mobile supervisors and patrols and security personnel on site.
Locks and Unlocks
We can unlock and lock your premises at the time you require. Our SIA licensed Security Officers are trained to secure your premises at the end of your working day or unlock them at the commencement of it.
Mobile Patrols
Mobile Patrols are a very cost effective form of security. Security officers driving one of our fleet of GPS Tracker linked, liveried company vehicles in radio contact with our control room, make an agreed number of visits at irregular intervals to your premises to ensure they are secure and at the same time may check on utilities, equipment or plant (eg heating, lighting, water) and can also check on the correct functioning of any installations if required.
All vehicles are fitted with GPS Trackers which stream live location and status information to our control room and the patrols are monitored by a patrol monitoring system in order to provide management information when required.
Guard Dogs
Trained guard dogs and handlers, each registered individually with the National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU), observing the Home Office Code of Practice are supplied in accordance with the Guard Dog Act 1975, to provide a highly skilled addition to the security of certain high risk and vulnerable sites.
Screening
All security personnel are screened to British Standard 7858 – for the Screening and Vetting of personnel employed in the manned guarding security industry. Screening is conducted by a NSI trained vetting officer and SITO trained vetting controller.
The personnel files, which are inspected by the National Security Inspectorate (NSI), cover every period of past employment, personal references, periods of unemployment, proof of identity documentation, credit checks, training records and evidence of former military service, where applicable.
Vacant Properties
We can provide documented Property Inspections to comply with your insurance company requirements and these inspections can be complimented by Mobile Patrols or our Temporary Alarm System to reduce the risk of damage, illegal occupation and theft.
