Politicians working in the UK can be targets for citizens who feel that they have the right to threaten or intimidate them into making decisions. With making important decisions comes pressure to persuade the public that the right choices are being made in their best interests.

No matter how big or small your premises, our local government security guards and staff will protect staff and visitors alike.

We have been working with public sector authorities for over 20 years, which means we provide security of the best quality and have extensive knowledge in public sector security.

At Vigilant Security Services we pride ourselves in retaining a high customer service rate because we listen and deliver to our clients.

Protecting the public: How Martyn’s Law challenges local Authorities

Martyn’s Law places an urgent responsibility on local authorities to strengthen public safety, with a legal duty to prepare venues for terrorist threats. Local Authorities must act decisively, upgrading procedures, and making better use of existing technology to comply with legislation and protect lives.

Our Public Sector Protection Services include a combination of physical and electronic security to achieve this.

Technology Can Do Much of the Heavy Lifting

Upgrading CCTV systems to high-definition IP models with built-in deep-learning artificial intelligence enables smarter security. These systems can detect behaviour patterns, flag anomalies, and act as the first line of defence—providing proactive protection rather than just passive recording.

Access control systems play a vital role in enhancing security by instantly ‘locking down’ doors when threats are heightened. When integrated with intelligent CCTV, they create a unified defence, delivering complete protection through rapid response and proactive monitoring.
