As the #1 SIA-Approved contractor, Churchill Support Services are well-positioned to provide security for your premises. Whether it be a small office building, a municipal council chamber, or a celebrated town hall, we ensure any problems on the outside don’t impact what happens within.

Government buildings will naturally face a variety of security threats, from protesters rallying around the entrance to targeted attacks aimed at spreading terror through the community.
Security guards are crucial to seeing off any and all threats, and are able to control access to the premises, challenge suspicious individuals, and provide advance warning of serious threats. Not only are they a visible deterrence, but their presence provides a level of stability that fosters trust and co-operation between citizens and their local government.
For larger premises, mobile security patrols are the perfect security solution. Our highly trained officers will patrol the boundaries of your site, ensuring those who are considering criminal action see them and think again. Should a security threat arise, our mobile patrols will respond rapidly, and if needed, intervene to stop any crimes in progress.
Mobile patrols are ideal for areas with a high population of government buildings and agencies – this way, our officers can supply top-notch security for multiple premises at the same time.
CCTV has come a long way from its inception. Here at Churchill, we lead the industry in developing cutting edge techniques to detect and respond to security threats.
Our control centre is open 24/7/365, and can actively monitor thousands of cameras at the same time. Should our highly technical system detect a potential threat, our experienced operators will immediately review the situation and organise a timely response. As such, our CCTV package is best used in tandem with other services, including having officers on the ground to respond to said threats.
Churchill’s joint key holding and alarm response services are a crucial component of securing your premises. We will hold a copy of your keys at an off-site location, allowing us to respond to lock and unlock requests. This avoids the security nightmare that is lost or stolen keys, which can have serious ramifications for local government operations.
The proper investigation and resolution of triggered alarms is also imperative, and with Churchill’s average response time of 30 minutes, we aim to secure your premises as quickly as possible.
With local government fulfilling a broad array of functions, many of their activities and the nature of their material will be sensitive or delicate. This makes it critical that access to certain rooms are limited and controlled, to avoid data leaks or harmful interference.
Churchill’s sophisticated access controls are an excellent way to tackle this. From simple systems like ID cards and fobs all the way to facial recognition and biometric scanning, we provide the exact arrangements you need to secure your restricted areas.
Our solutions are tailored to your specific premises and security requirements, guaranteeing that you’ll receive a personalised, first-rate service each and every time.
Churchill Support Services are in the top 1% of ACS-Approved Contractors and are SafeContractor approved. Additionally, all our officers are highly trained and licensed by the SIA.
A rapid response is vital to protecting your site. With our average response time of 30 minutes across the UK, our officers will attend quickly to resolve any potential or genuine threats.
Whether you require static guarding, mobile patrols, CCTV, Keyholding or security for an event, Churchill Support Services offers the right security solution for you and your premises.
The presence of security guards provides an effective visual deterrent, turning away potential criminals and shielding your property from vandalism, theft, and other crime.
With our security guards able to adapt and fulfil multiple roles such as concierge duties and conducting risk assessments, you can keep costs down without compromising on vital services.
As seen over recent years in the US and Brazil, government buildings are entirely vulnerable to being compromised, and while local government is less likely to be the target of a mob, they still have endless security concerns to get to grips with. These can range from petty vandalism (530,000 cases last year) to public disorder (590,000 cases), which can not only cause damage to government property, but also play havoc with public perception.
A reduction in law and order, especially around the centre of local government, can put re-election bids into jeopardy and call into question the authority of the council. Therefore, securing your premises with Churchill is of the utmost importance.
Our security officers are trained to perform a wide variety of responsibilities, and will follow security best practice at every occasion. Their duties could include:
Churchill’s security guards are available 24/7, year-round. Our aim is to provide security that works for you, and part of that is scheduling our services in a way that is convenient and fulfils your specific needs. Whether that means having security in overnight, just in the daytime, or indeed round the clock, our officers are here to help.
This includes all holidays, so if you need security over Christmas, on New Year’s Eve, or over Easter weekend, we have you covered.
Not at all! Our specialist team have experience across a broad range of sites, from small one-room businesses to massive multi-building compounds.
In all cases, we implement a security solution package that addresses key areas of concern, no matter the size of the premises. While different buildings may need multiple or more numerous security measures, we bring our same dedication and professionalism to each and every posting.
Due to our customized approach to security solutions, we have no standard pricing plan. Our prices are instead based on the type and number of services provided, and as a result, are highly flexible.
This grants you greater control over what your budget is spent on – and allows us to tailor our services to provide your premises with the specific security it requires.
All of Churchill’s security guards are fully accredited by the Security Industry Authority (SIA), meaning their training is the best in the business. We pride ourselves on our People First approach, and invest great time in meticulously training our staff to equip them for work in the field.
All of our staff undergo an extensive 5-year vetting process before they enter our service, which underlines their proven honesty and integrity.
As you might expect, the timescale to install CCTV is highly dependent on the size of the premises, and how complex the site is. We start by examining the location, marking down any entry points and possible blind spots, before planning your custom layout.
While some installations can be completed as quickly as one day, some bigger projects may extend to a week. However, all our installations come with the same quality guarantee that Churchill is renowned for.
Churchill Support Services are a nationwide company, and offer our security solutions to all locations in the UK. We manage an expansive network of professional security officers and operations managers, allowing us to offer the same high standard of service everywhere in the country.
For a rundown of what services we can offer where, feel free to contact our knowledgeable team.
To ensure full coverage of the site, all entry points and blind spots need to be covered, as well as any key or restricted areas. Consequently, there is no size-fits-all when it comes to CCTV, as we will first need to assess the size and layout of the premises.
Our specialist team will then make the decision on how many cameras are needed to properly secure the site.
