Manned Guarding

Manned guarding is protecting property against unlawful entry, damage or being stolen. It can also refer to protecting an individual against harm or assault that may be caused by others. Manned Guarding can be the physical presence of a guard or a controlled patrol to deter possible harm or damage to a person or property. Manned Guarding can be a security guard on site who does regular walk rounds to check the property or who protects a vulnerable individual from potential threat or harm. It can also be guarding keys that are securely stored and used in emergency response situations or locking and unlocking admission to premises at pre-arranged times and ensures the security of the property as well as controlling the admission of selected personnel out with normal trading hours. Larges organisations with sensitive information, example hospitals, large banking industries, may use manned guarding to monitor who enters the premises and the reasons for their visit, especially outside normal working hours. The key holding service may also be beneficial to these sectors as it protects the keys offsite and records who requests and uses them and why. People of high importance or status may use manned guarding to protect them against unwanted attention and possible threat, especially in a highly public place, for example an event or concert.
