CCTV

Leisuresec adheres to British Standards guidelines for the operation and management of CCTV; monitoring surveillance equipment in public areas, private homes and businesses.

Our operatives are monitored to ensure they comply with the Data Protection Act, 1998 (DPA), the Human Rights Act, 1998 (HRA) and the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act.

We follow and create best practices in obtaining reliable information that may ultimately be used as evidence in criminal proceedings.

Private businesses & domestic residences

We provide external CCTV monitoring to private businesses and domestic residences, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  We can detect potential intruders and intervene directly with our Mobile Patrol Officers or by informing local Police services.

24/7 CCTV

Offering peace of mind

CCTV monitoring is a cost effective, efficient security option for your home or business that will give real peace of mind.  Even if it’s just while you are on holiday or if you want to know your family are well protected while you are away on business.  Leisuresec can provide a tailor made service.

Once our installation experts connect your CCTV to our control room monitors we can view all your cameras and take action as required.  From simply sending an audio message to a trespasser, to alerting the Police or sending trained security operatives to protect your property Leisuresec can provide a cost effective alternative to the expense of a 24 hour on site guard.

Door Supervisors

Providing welcoming, professional people who will create the right impression as customers arrive at your venue, combined with the skills, training and licenses to de-escalate challenging situations and maintain security.

 

Door Supervisor

To find the right door supervisors for your venue, we start by properly understanding your customers, your brand and your business environment. With many years’ experience across hospitality, leisure and other business sectors, we are adept at finding optimal solutions that deliver great customer experiences at lower overall cost.

Finding the right individuals

After consulting with you and understanding your unique requirements we will present you with profiles (including CV, photograph and references) of a selection of specifically chosen candidates. You decide which applicant you would like to interview and once you’ve made your selection we will ensure your chosen door supervisors are inducted to your venue procedures.

We will ensure their performance is monitored by our dedicated compliance team and where necessary remove and replace door supervisors who don’t make the grade; no delay, no drama. We recognise the potential for conflict in the door supervisor role and where our risk assessment indicates a need we include the use of professional bodycams as part of our service.

Door Security Guards

Hybrid hospitality security roles

With all the changes since COVID, few businesses can afford to take a narrow view of security roles. We are helping forward-thinking organisations to rethink the people they are recruiting for bar work, waitering and reception.

Increasingly we are placing friendly, customer-oriented individuals in customer service roles who are also trained and licensed to carry out security duties. A key part of this is providing essential backup when a situation, such as a forced ejection, legally requires a full complement of licensed security staff.

How may we help?

Patrol Monitoring & Reporting

We make use of several tools for patrol monitoring; allowing you to choose those best suited for your property.

Bodycams: Our Mobile Patrol Officer will record each full patrol and upload the footage to a secure cloud server for you to view.  The camera records the time and date on each frame, and enables you to see for yourself each patrol our Officer conducts.

Focal Point:  The mobile phone app used by our Mobile Patrol Officer has a GPS function which can be used to track the patrols from start to finish.  We will upload the data for you to access on demand, no waiting for us to email reports to you.

Guard Tour Patrol: We will install Points at key areas for the Mobile Patrol Officer to touch as they pass through.  This information is then downloaded and emailed to you.

Taxi Marshals

Leisuresec has over a decade of experience providing Taxi Marshals to a number of town and city centres, and has worked with Councils and Bid Partnerships to pilot and develop Taxi Marshal schemes. 

London Taxi

How Leisuresec Taxi Marshals can benefit your city centre:

  • They present a friendly and helpful face to your city.  Dressed smartly, approachable and with good communication skills, Leisuresec taxi marshals help encourage visitors to return to the city.
  • They will help to keep the night time economy successful by making sure your city centre is safe and welcoming to visitors.  With conflict management and customer care training, our marshals will be selected carefully to match your requirements.
  • They keep local businesses informed about any problems or troublemakers, using the Pubwatch scheme.  Working in partnership with other local businesses often helps to foresee and prevent disturbances.
  • Taxi Marshals can help to reduce the pressure emergency services face each weekend by reducing the risk of road traffic accidents, using conflict management training to diffuse escalating situations and providing first aid if required.
  • They provide support to anyone in distress or vulnerable, making sure they are safe; our SIA licensed Taxi Marshals are DBS checked, screened and trained in customer care.
  • They help to prevent crime and can act as the eyes and ears of local law enforcement, especially when using body-worn surveillance equipment. These cameras can be essential in evidence gathering, as well as deterring criminal activity and anti-social behaviour.

We have agreed to extend the initiative with Leisuresec plc, whose marshals must take much credit for the success of the Council’s innovative pilot, reducing illegal ‘pick ups’, controlling taxi queues, improving the safety of vulnerable persons, and dealing with confrontational situations.Testimonial

Allocating keyholding duties to an employee may seem like a good idea but it might end up causing you problems. 

  • Is this part of their contract? 
  • Have they received any specific training? 
  • Can you guarantee they are always available?

You could be putting your staff at risk, and in turn opening your company to legal action.

Recognising Terrorist Threats

Terrorists can choose from a broad range of potential methodologies that may be used when they carry out an attack. These can vary from small scale attacks, where a bladed weapon is used to undertake a localised attack, to large scale atrocities where truck bombs have been used to cause mass devastation, or layered attacks, where a combination of attack methodologies are used to cause maximum disruption.

Security and Christmas

Christmas is a very busy time of year for the security industry, with increased footfall in retail, entertainment and nightlife establishments, such as shops, bars, restaurants and even hotels with family and friends visiting from across the country. Many cities also host Christmas Markets, that bring large crowds to already busy areas. On the other hand business properties that look empty, can also be targets for criminal activity.
