The Pros Of Having Residential Patrol Security

For a VIP or celebrity living in the UK, it can be difficult to feel truly safe in your home with the uncertainty of what boundaries fans or others may do. This is what makes residential security so important.

In this blog post, we are going to discuss the main benefits of residential patrol security services as well as what you can expect from your bodyguards when enlisting their help.

What Is Residential Patrol Security?

Residential security is simply the name given to protective services taken to protect someone’s home. This can be in the form of CCTV cameras, access control systems or physical security guards standing in various areas of your home (residential patrol services, more specifically, refer to the latter).

As we briefly mentioned above, residential patrol security is usually used by high-profile individuals such as VIPs, celebrities, politicians and much more – however this can be applied to just about anyone if you are concerned about your safety at home.

Residential security services aim to provide people with a sense of security at home if they do not feel so already. At Gallantry Group, we aim to provide our clients with a complete service of personal protection and guarding your home against intruders.

What Can Residential Security Guards Do?

A common question that we are asked is what exactly residential security guards are able to do, however, this entirely depends on where you are living. Our team operates in the UK so let’s discuss the responsibilities of a bodyguard in the UK.

Patrol Your Premises

In the UK, security guards are allowed to patrol your property, both indoors and outdoors to make sure that there is nothing amiss about your home at any point. Their job is to make sure that your home feels secure and safe meaning that patrolling is an important part of their job.

Our team at Gallantry Group is also trained in providing close protection services to each of our clients. If you are in need of an escort of bodyguards, our team is here for you!

Monitor Doors and Access Points

To make their job easier, some residential security guards can have access to some CCTV footage for your home to keep an eye on multiple places at once for security purposes. While this may seem somewhat invasive, it is done only with your permission and with your security in mind.

At Gallantry Group, we ensure to keep a professional mindset throughout and would never invade your privacy if you were not comfortable with us doing so. Professionalism is an important factor for us and we aim to maintain this while you are under our care.

Respond to Emergencies

Another of the main aspects of residential bodyguarding is the response to emergencies that guards need to have in and around your home. Having a quick response time is imperative to the safety of you and your family, this is why it is stressed so much by so many agencies.

What Are The Benefits?

Now that you understand residential security more, it is important to discuss all of the benefits of such services. As with any other form of security, residential security aims to make VIPs feel secure.

No matter if you are at home and just want to feel comfortable in your own home or perhaps you have some valuable items at home while you are away that need guarding, security guards are always available to help protect your property.

Preventing Assault

One of the most important aspects of residential security is to prevent physical harm from coming to you from unwelcome outsiders. Door guards will have prior knowledge of all of the access points in your home and will guard vigilantly to make sure that no one can reach you without your permission.

In most cases, physical assault in the comfort of your own home is unlikely, however, if you are a particularly high profile person, it can be a good idea to take the safety measures to have a security guard on your premises.

Increases Your Sense of Security

The main reason why people might decide to have a security guard on their premises is because they provide celebrities with an increased sense of security while in the comfort of their homes.

Making sure that you feel comfortable in your surroundings is something that the team at Gallantry Group takes very seriously. We work tirelessly to meet all of your security needs and will respect your privacy while doing so.

Protect Your Property and Valuables

If you are away on a business trip or perhaps just a holiday with family and friends, leaving your home completely unattended can be a daunting task – luckily, residential security can also help you here!

Living in a wealthy area or having a large home can put you at risk of burglaries, whether you are home or not, which is why residential security services are invaluable to someone with a high public profile.

Quick Response Times

Having fast response times to emergencies is vital to ensure VIPs’ safety, meaning that bodyguards must always be prepared for any eventuality. As we briefly discussed, guards are thoroughly trained to respond quickly and effectively to threats to make sure that you remain unharmed and safe.
