Crime Scene Guarding


We understand the need to allocate valuable police resources strategically and effectively when securing a crime scene. Especially in today’s economic climate, when there is increasing pressure on crime and policing budgets.

It may not be the most efficient use of highly trained officers to have them tasked with guarding a crime scene when they could be better used on more complex duties relating to the crime.

With over three decades of experience in providing comprehensive security services throughout the UK and across Europe, Angleside is proud to introduce our specialised crime scene guarding services.

We offer:

  • Strategic partnerships with Local Authorities and Police Forces
  • 24-hour-a-day cover – 7 days a week
  • Security teams work from local offices for increased efficiency and faster response times
  • Provision of practical and technological resources like warning tape, cones, temporary barriers and mobile CCTV surveillance units
  • Central control and monitoring rooms
  • Meticulous record-keeping, reporting and inter-departmental liaison
  • Flexible contract lengths range from 1 day to up to a month or more depending on requirements
