Close Protection and Security Services

The crime rate in London has been rising steadily in the recent past. Cases of homicides, knife attacks, gunshots have all been reported by the Metropolitan Police. The Office of National Statistics has reported grim figures about criminal activities in London and the surrounding areas. Homicide cases increased by 23% in 2019 (compared to the 2028 figures), while knife killings increased by 28% in the same period.

Thefts, armed robberies, and drug offenses, all increased. From the Metropolitan Police records, the number of cases rose by 5% in the 2018 financial year. At the national level, police recorded over 5.8 million cases in Wales and England.

Criminals in London and the United Kingdom do not only target businesses, but also individuals, especially those they believe are financially well off, like VIPs, celebs, or business magnates. That's why if you fall into this category, you'll need security services and close protection. The nature of your work may also necessitate having bodyguards.

Why should you need a Close Protection Security Company?

London and the entire UK isn't safe for those who are rich. There are criminal gangs who are always planning on who to pounce on next.

Some of these criminals can even kidnap your child and demand a ransom. There are also rampant cases of armed robberies, carjackings, and terrorist activities. So if you have immense wealth, you need to hire a bodyguard to keep you safe from unwanted life threats.


Bodyguards can also protect you in case of a terrorist attack. Every emergency is unique and needs tailor-made solutions. 

Since situations change, our bodyguards undergo refresher training regularly. They are evaluated after each training to assess whether they are fit for security assignments. 

During the training, they are taken through counter-surveillance, first aid, venue security, incident management, route selection, and risk and threat assessment. Our company is owned by ex-special forces and we employ ex special forces and ex military bodyguards for hire. There are many ways our services can help you.

Some of these ways include:
  • Preparing you for any situation that might arise
  • Assessing the strength of your security system to boost it
  • Prevent any threats or criminal incidence from occurring
  • Seeing and hearing everything that goes on around you
  • Handling all other tasks related to security.

Bodyguard services

Because of the rise in criminal activities in London and the UK, there's a need to hire personal protection officers known as bodyguards or close protection officers. UK Close Protection Services has been offering security services to VIPs like entrepreneurs, celebrities, and politicians for many years. Our officers have specialized training to operate in high risk zones because they have worked as law enforcement and military personnel.  

There are many bodyguard companies in London, but not all of them are the same. When choosing a bodyguard company, you must consider what technology they use, the officers they employ, and the many years they have been working.
Bodyguard services
What else set's our bodyguard apart from the rest?  

Close Protection Services stands tall among other security companies. Our guards think logically before taking action. Our bodyguards have excellent situational awareness coupled couples with sharp eyes. They constantly scan environments watching out for any potential conflicts or situations that may harm the client. They can detect and stop potential accidents or attackers before they strike. Our bodyguards are aware that being proactive is better than being reactive when it comes to avoiding threats. 

Our close protection officers are also self-confident. This is a critical trait for all bodyguards. Self-confidence has nothing to do with being arrogant or feeling superior. Our bodyguards are self-confident in the sense that they know what to do to ensure our clients are safe. 

Attackers know how to read the body language of bodyguards, and will easily tell if a bodyguard is not up to the task. This means that a bodyguard with no self-confidence exposes his/her client to attacks. A self-confident bodyguard deters potential attackers and wards them off from the person they are protecting. The factual actions by bodyguards comprise only 20% of their work, the remaining 80% is about thinking ahead and prevention. That's why adequate training is necessary for security officers. 

Another reason why many people hire us is that our bodyguards are trustworthy, reliable, and dependable. Our bodyguards will always be available, and you can depend on them. They are reliable, making them worthy of your trust. 

We know how trust is important because there are certain personal issues you may need to disclose to the bodyguards to enhance your security. For example, your bodyguard may get to know about your medical problems, relationship issues, or business deals that you don't want other people to know. Other than just protecting you physically, our bodyguards will also ensure your confidentiality is protected. Even if you are dealing with issues that our bodyguards don't agree with, they'll keep their opinions to themselves and respect whatever you are doing. 

Communication is very important between a client and a bodyguard. Communication breakdown can cause a serious security threat. That's why we train our bodyguards on communication skills so they can communicate clearly, effectively, and in a way that can be understood. Our bodyguards also have excellent listening skills that enable them to take instructions.

Private Security Services

When you want to run a  successful operation, event, or business, you have to hire security personnel. Because you never know what may happen along the way. Whether you are just looking to boost your security for your event, or you want VIP protection service, it's always advisable to choose the best bodyguard company in London so you can be sure any potential issues can be dealt with before they turn into a threat.

We are the best among all security companies in London because we start our work by drawing a working plan. We have a team of certified security professionals that specialize in vulnerability assessments and can secure transportation to and from your home.

The plans help our personnel to keep order when situations arise and ensure everything needed for your safety and that of your employees are put in place.

Our guide is comprehensive, providing specific guidance and directions for practically all situations touching on security. 

Whereas we appreciate the fact that there is a myriad of situations that may crop up any minute, we pride ourselves on the fact that our employees are endowed with problem-solving skills. They are people who think on their feet. They can assess a situation very fast and act appropriately depending on how things unfold and protect you even in extreme or unexpected situations.

The good news is that our officers are all physically fit. This helps them because their work may involve lots of walking, running, scaling up walls, and even carrying their clients should matters get worse in the process of protecting them. They can also stand for hours while on duty and may be involved in a fight with those trying to attack the clients.

Physical fitness is also important when they want to chase and arrest criminals, or when they have to deal with situations that require stamina and strength. Even if you don't want your bodyguards to be involved in a fight, a situation may arise that it's only through a fight that they can save your life and their lives.

Being that they are physically fit and strong doesn't mean they are mean-looking. Our officers are very friendly and sociable but act professionally. Because they are friendly, your customer, visitors, and staff will find it easy to work with them. This helps in preventing tension between our officers and your customers, employees, and others.

Residential Security Services

In 2019, about 70,000 cases of burglaries were reported in London. Of these cases, over 40,000 targeted homes. That's why residential security has become more important in London and the UK than ever before.

As stated earlier, there's a general increase in cases of terrorism and crimes because of police cutbacks. With the reduced number of the police, thieves are having a field day, knowing that they won't get caught easily. Because there's less risk for criminals to get arrested, burglary has become lucrative in London and the thieves have organized themselves into gangs that terrorize people even during the day. These thieves mainly target the high-end areas in London where they know they can get rich people and good returns for their criminal activities.
