Manned Guarding

Passive cameras can only record a crime, they cannot stop it.
True security requires an alert, professional human presence on-site to deter criminals,
manage access, and respond instantly to threats before they escalate.

At Fetch Fire & Security Ltd, we provide elite, SIA-licensed manned guarding services tailored to your business.
Founded and led by former emergency service professionals, we bring real-world Police and Fire service experience to your frontline defence 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

What is Manned Guarding? The Cost of Crime Our Core Guarding Services Why Choose Fetch Fire & Security Ltd? FAQs

Manned guarding is the deployment of physical security officers to protect your premises. Unlike basic alarms, a guard provides an active, adaptable human shield.

Our SIA operatives protect your business by:

·        Preventing crime through high-visibility uniform patrols
·        Controlling site access for staff, visitors, and deliveries
·        Responding instantly to break-ins, fires, and medical emergencies
·        De-escalating conflict and removing trespassers from the site

Business crime across the UK is rising rapidly, threatening operational continuity and staff safety:

·        Retail crime now costs UK businesses over £4.2 billion every year.
·        Retailers face a staggering 5.5 million shop theft incidents annually.
·        Frontline UK workers face 1,600 violent or abusive incidents every single day.
·        Commercial property robberies have spiked by 55% according to recent data.
