General Security Services

Trident Security provides a comprehensive range of professional security services designed to protect businesses, people, property and assets. Our services include manned guarding, mobile patrols, key holding and alarm response, event security, door supervision, construction site security, CCTV monitoring, concierge security, retail security and corporate security solutions.

We work with organisations of all sizes, from small local businesses to large commercial operations, delivering tailored security solutions that meet individual requirements. Whether you require a single officer for temporary cover or a fully managed security team, we can provide a solution that aligns with your operational needs and budget.

Our experienced management team works closely with every client to assess risks, identify vulnerabilities and develop a security strategy that provides peace of mind and effective protection.

The cost of hiring security guards depends on several factors, including the type of security service required, location, duration of cover, risk level and the number of officers needed.

For example, a construction site requiring overnight security may have different requirements from a retail premises, corporate office or public event. Additional considerations such as weekend cover, specialist qualifications, key holding responsibilities or CCTV monitoring can also influence pricing.

At Trident Security, we provide bespoke quotations tailored to your specific requirements. Following an initial consultation, we assess your site, identify any risks and recommend the most suitable level of protection.

While every project is different, investing in professional security can significantly reduce losses caused by theft, vandalism, trespassing and business disruption. In many cases, the cost of security is far outweighed by the financial and reputational protection it provides.

Trident Security is based in Nottingham and provides professional security services throughout the East Midlands and across the United Kingdom.

We regularly support businesses and organisations in Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Sheffield, Mansfield, Newark, Lincoln and surrounding areas. Our operational capabilities also allow us to support clients with multi-site operations and national security requirements.

Whether you require security for a warehouse, construction project, office building, retail premises or public event, our experienced team can deliver professional protection tailored to your location and requirements.

If you are unsure whether we cover your area, simply contact our team and we will be happy to discuss your requirements.

Yes. All frontline security personnel supplied by Trident Security hold the appropriate Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence required for their role.

The SIA regulates the private security industry throughout the UK and requires security professionals to complete recognised qualifications, undergo identity verification and pass criminality checks before being licensed.

Employing SIA-licensed security officers provides assurance that personnel have met nationally recognised standards and possess the knowledge and skills required to perform their duties professionally and legally.

In addition to maintaining the appropriate licences, our team receives ongoing professional development and refresher training to ensure compliance with current legislation, industry standards and best practices.

When you choose Trident Security, you can have confidence that your security personnel are qualified, professional and committed to delivering the highest levels of service.

At Trident Security, we understand that every client has unique security requirements. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, we develop tailored security solutions designed around your business, site or event.

As a family-run organisation, we pride ourselves on building long-term relationships based on trust, professionalism and reliability. Our management team remains actively involved in service delivery, ensuring high standards are maintained across every contract.

Clients choose Trident because of our responsive communication, experienced personnel and commitment to customer service. We focus not only on preventing crime and reducing risk but also on representing your business professionally and positively.

Whether you require ongoing security support or temporary cover, our goal is to become a trusted extension of your organisation.

Deployment times depend on the type of service required, location and availability of personnel. In many situations, emergency cover can be arranged quickly, particularly within the East Midlands region.

For larger contracts, event security or long-term deployments, we typically conduct an initial consultation or site assessment to understand your requirements before implementing a security strategy.

Our management team works efficiently to ensure suitable personnel are allocated and fully briefed before deployment. This helps maintain the highest standards of professionalism while ensuring your security requirements are met as quickly as possible.

If you require urgent security support, we encourage you to contact our team immediately so we can assess the situation and discuss available options.

Yes. Trident Security can provide 24-hour security coverage for businesses, construction sites, industrial facilities, residential developments and events.

Many organisations require round-the-clock protection to safeguard valuable assets, maintain site access control and reduce the risk of theft, vandalism or unauthorised entry. We can provide a combination of static security officers, mobile patrols and CCTV monitoring to deliver comprehensive protection at all hours.

Our 24-hour security solutions are tailored to each client’s specific requirements and can be adapted as circumstances change.

Whether you require short-term coverage or a long-term security partnership, our team can develop a solution that provides continuous protection and peace of mind.

Yes. We understand that security requirements can arise unexpectedly due to incidents such as break-ins, vandalism, fire damage, staffing shortages or emergency site closures.

Our team can assess urgent situations and provide temporary security measures designed to protect people, premises and assets until a longer-term solution can be implemented.

Emergency security services may include static guarding, mobile patrols, access control, alarm response and site monitoring.

By responding quickly and professionally, we help minimise disruption while reducing the risk of further incidents or losses.

If you require urgent assistance, please contact our team directly to discuss your situation.

Many of our clients operate multiple sites or require support in different regions. Our management team can coordinate security provision across several locations while maintaining consistent standards and communication.

Our nationwide capability allows businesses to work with a single trusted security provider rather than managing multiple contractors.

Whether you require security for a national construction project, a multi-location retail operation or a large-scale event, we can develop a solution that delivers reliable protection wherever it is needed.

Manned Guarding & Event Security

Manned guarding is one of the most effective forms of physical security available to businesses. It involves trained security officers being stationed at a site to provide a visible security presence, monitor activity, control access and respond to incidents.

Unlike automated systems alone, manned guarding offers real-time decision-making and intervention. Security officers can challenge unauthorised individuals, carry out patrols, monitor CCTV systems, perform lock-up procedures and provide assistance to staff and visitors.

Manned guarding is commonly used across construction sites, warehouses, office buildings, retail premises, industrial facilities and residential developments. The presence of a professional security officer acts as a strong deterrent against theft, vandalism, trespassing and anti-social behaviour.

At Trident Security, our officers are carefully selected and trained to represent both our company and our clients professionally, ensuring a safe and secure environment at all times.

Manned guarding offers a range of benefits that go beyond simply protecting property. The most immediate advantage is the visible presence of a trained security officer, which acts as a strong deterrent to criminal activity.

Security officers can monitor access points, verify visitors, patrol premises, respond to incidents and assist staff or customers when required. Their ability to make informed decisions and react quickly to developing situations provides a level of protection that technology alone cannot achieve.

Businesses often choose manned guarding because it helps reduce theft, vandalism, trespassing and unauthorised access. It can also improve employee confidence, enhance customer experience and demonstrate a commitment to safety and security.

For many organisations, the combination of physical security, professional customer service and incident response makes manned guarding one of the most effective security investments available.

The number of security guards required depends on several factors, including the size of the site, operating hours, level of risk, number of access points and specific client requirements.

A small commercial premises may only require a single officer, while larger sites such as distribution centres, construction projects or public events may require multiple personnel operating across different areas.

At Trident Security, we begin every contract with a consultation or risk assessment. This allows us to understand your site, identify vulnerabilities and recommend the most appropriate level of security coverage.

Our goal is to provide effective protection without unnecessary costs. By tailoring security provision to your exact requirements, we ensure your business receives the right level of support and value.

Yes. Night-time patrols are one of the most common responsibilities performed by professional security officers.

During overnight shifts, guards conduct regular patrols of the premises, checking doors, gates, fences, windows and vulnerable areas. These patrols help identify security concerns such as attempted break-ins, vandalism, suspicious activity or safety hazards before they become significant issues.

Night patrols are particularly valuable for warehouses, construction sites, industrial facilities, office buildings and retail premises that may be unoccupied outside normal business hours.

In addition to protecting assets, security officers can provide detailed reports on their observations and immediately escalate any incidents that require attention.

By maintaining a visible presence throughout the night, security patrols help reduce the likelihood of criminal activity and provide reassurance that your premises remain protected around the clock.

Yes. Professional reporting is an important part of our security service.

Whenever an incident occurs, our security officers record relevant information, including the nature of the incident, actions taken, individuals involved and any recommendations for future prevention.

Incident reports provide clients with a clear record of events and can be invaluable when investigating security breaches, insurance claims, health and safety matters or operational concerns.

In addition to incident reports, officers may complete daily occurrence logs, patrol records and site activity reports depending on the requirements of the contract.

This detailed documentation ensures transparency, accountability and effective communication between our security team and our clients.

Professional security is recommended for most public events, particularly those involving large crowds, licensed premises, VIP guests, cash handling or public safety considerations.

Security personnel help manage entry points, monitor crowd behaviour, enforce venue policies and respond to incidents quickly and professionally. Their presence helps reduce the risk of disorder, unauthorised access, theft and anti-social behaviour.

Depending on the nature of the event, security may also be required by local authorities, venue operators or licensing conditions.

Whether you’re organising a music festival, sporting event, corporate function, private party or community gathering, professional security can help ensure the event runs safely and smoothly while providing peace of mind to organisers and attendees.

The number of security personnel required depends on several factors, including expected attendance, venue size, event type, alcohol provision, risk level and licensing requirements.

A small private event may require only a few security officers, while large festivals, concerts or sporting events may require extensive security teams operating across multiple locations.

Before recommending staffing levels, Trident Security conducts a thorough assessment of the event and considers all relevant safety, operational and regulatory requirements.

Our aim is to provide sufficient security coverage to ensure safety and compliance while maintaining a welcoming environment for guests.

Yes. Trident Security can provide professional security services for festivals, concerts, live performances and other large-scale events.

Our event security teams are experienced in crowd management, access control, perimeter security, ticket checking, VIP protection and incident response. We understand the unique challenges associated with large public gatherings and work closely with event organisers to develop effective security plans.

Our officers are trained to remain professional, approachable and vigilant throughout the event, helping to create a safe environment for performers, staff and attendees.

Whether you are organising a local music event or a large-scale festival, our team can provide the support required to ensure the event operates safely and successfully.

Yes. Trident Security supplies licensed Door Supervisors for pubs, bars, nightclubs, entertainment venues and other licensed premises.

Door Supervisors play an important role in maintaining safety, preventing disorder and ensuring compliance with licensing requirements. Their responsibilities include checking identification, controlling entry, monitoring customer behaviour and responding to incidents when necessary.

Our Door Supervisors are SIA licensed, experienced and trained to manage challenging situations professionally while delivering excellent customer service.

By providing a visible and professional presence, Door Supervisors help venues maintain a safe and welcoming environment for customers and staff alike.

Event security encompasses a wide range of services designed to ensure the safety of attendees, staff, performers and property.

Typical event security responsibilities include:

  • Access control and ticket verification
  • Crowd management
  • Door supervision
  • Perimeter security
  • VIP protection
  • Bag searches
  • Incident response
  • Emergency evacuation support
  • Traffic and parking management
  • Liaison with emergency services

Every event is different, which is why Trident Security develops tailored security plans based on the size, nature and risk profile of each event.

Our goal is to create a secure environment that allows organisers and attendees to focus on enjoying the event while we manage safety and security behind the scenes.

Site Protection, Patrols & CCTV

Construction sites are among the most vulnerable locations for theft, vandalism, trespassing and criminal damage. Valuable tools, machinery, fuel and building materials can attract opportunistic criminals, particularly outside normal working hours.

Professional construction site security helps protect assets, reduce losses and ensure projects remain on schedule. Security officers provide a visible deterrent, monitor site access, conduct patrols and respond to suspicious activity before incidents escalate.

In addition to preventing crime, security personnel can help improve health and safety compliance by monitoring unauthorised access and reporting potential hazards. Many insurers and principal contractors also expect robust security measures to be in place before work begins.

By investing in professional construction site security, businesses can minimise disruption, protect valuable assets and maintain project timelines.

Security guards help reduce theft through a combination of visible deterrence, active monitoring and rapid response.

Criminals are far less likely to target sites where trained security personnel are present. Security officers monitor access points, challenge unauthorised visitors, conduct regular patrols and investigate suspicious activity.

They can also check deliveries, monitor contractor access and ensure valuable equipment and materials are stored securely. Many thefts occur because sites are left vulnerable overnight or during weekends, making security patrols particularly important during these periods.

In addition, security officers maintain records of site activity and can provide evidence and incident reports should an issue arise.

By reducing opportunities for theft and responding quickly to potential threats, security guards help protect assets and minimise financial losses.

Yes. Trident Security provides out-of-hours security services for construction sites, warehouses, commercial premises and industrial facilities.

Many incidents of theft and vandalism occur outside normal working hours when sites are unoccupied. Our out-of-hours security solutions provide a visible presence during evenings, nights, weekends and public holidays.

Services may include static guarding, mobile patrols, access control, lock-up and unlock procedures, alarm response and CCTV monitoring.

Every site has different requirements, so we tailor our security provision to suit the level of risk and operational needs of the project.

By maintaining security outside working hours, businesses can reduce risk and protect valuable equipment, materials and infrastructure.

In many cases, yes. Insurance providers often expect businesses and construction sites to implement appropriate security measures to reduce risk and protect assets.

Professional security services can demonstrate that reasonable steps have been taken to prevent theft, vandalism and unauthorised access. This may support insurance applications, policy renewals and claims processes.

While security does not guarantee reduced premiums, many insurers view professional security provision positively because it helps reduce the likelihood and severity of incidents.

Every insurance policy is different, so businesses should consult their insurer regarding specific requirements. However, investing in professional security often provides both operational and financial benefits.

A mobile patrol service involves trained security officers visiting a property at scheduled or random intervals to carry out security checks.

During each patrol, officers inspect vulnerable areas, check access points, look for signs of suspicious activity and ensure the premises remain secure. Patrols can take place during evenings, overnight or throughout the day depending on client requirements.

Mobile patrols provide an effective alternative to full-time static guarding and are often used by businesses looking for a cost-effective security solution.

The unpredictable nature of patrol visits helps deter criminal activity while providing reassurance that the property is being regularly monitored.

Key holding is a security service where a trusted provider securely stores authorised keys to your premises and responds when required.

If an alarm is activated, trained security personnel can attend the site, investigate the cause and take appropriate action. This may include checking the property, liaising with emergency services, securing the premises and providing detailed reports.

Key holding removes the need for business owners or employees to attend potentially dangerous situations, particularly during unsociable hours.

The service provides peace of mind while ensuring a professional response is available whenever needed.

Patrol frequency can be tailored entirely to your requirements.

Some businesses require one or two visits per night, while others benefit from multiple patrols carried out at random intervals throughout a 24-hour period. The frequency will typically depend on the level of risk, location of the premises and value of assets being protected.

Following a risk assessment, Trident Security can recommend a patrol schedule designed to provide the most effective level of protection.

Regular and unpredictable patrol patterns are often highly effective in deterring criminal activity and identifying potential issues before they become serious problems.

When an alarm is activated, our alarm response team is notified and attends the premises to investigate.

Upon arrival, officers conduct a thorough external and internal inspection where appropriate, looking for signs of forced entry, criminal activity or other security concerns. If an incident is identified, we can liaise with emergency services and take steps to secure the property.

Once the situation has been assessed, a detailed report is provided outlining our findings and any actions taken.

This service helps ensure that alarm activations are dealt with professionally and efficiently without placing employees or business owners at unnecessary risk.

Yes. CCTV monitoring forms an important part of many modern security strategies.

Our CCTV solutions help businesses monitor activity, protect assets and improve site security. Monitoring can be used alongside manned guarding, mobile patrols and alarm response services to create a comprehensive security solution.

CCTV systems provide valuable evidence in the event of criminal activity and can help identify security concerns before they escalate. They also act as a visible deterrent, reducing the likelihood of theft, vandalism and unauthorised access.

By combining technology with professional security expertise, CCTV monitoring helps businesses maintain a safer and more secure environment.

In many cases, yes. CCTV monitoring can provide a cost-effective way of improving security while reducing reliance on full-time on-site personnel.

Modern CCTV systems allow large areas to be monitored efficiently, helping businesses identify incidents quickly and maintain a record of activity. When combined with mobile patrols, alarm response or targeted manned guarding, CCTV can form part of a highly effective security strategy.

While every site is different, CCTV often helps reduce losses caused by theft, vandalism and unauthorised access. It may also improve operational oversight and support investigations when incidents occur.

The most effective approach is usually a combination of physical security measures and technology working together to provide comprehensive protection.
