5 Steps to Maximise Your Bank Holiday Security

For most of us, a Bank Holiday weekend offers an extended break from the hustle and bustle of working life.

However, for criminals, Bank Holiday weekends can be a prime opportunity to capitalise on business shutdowns. There is an obvious higher risk of break-ins and vandalism when properties are closed and unattended, so it is important that security solutions are put in place to help deter these criminals and prevent any theft or damage.

ARM Secure offer a range of Bank Holiday security options, adapting our approach to suit the individual needs of the customer, in terms of property type, building characteristics and budget.

Below we have listed just some of the options available to you through ARM Secure, to help protect your property, people and peace of mind over the Bank Holiday weekend.

1. Manned Guarding and Mobile Patrols

If your Bank Holiday security requires a more permanent presence on site, ARM Secure can provide both manned guarding and mobile patrols.

Both options put a fully accredited SIA licensed security officer in place at your site, providing a visual deterrent across the Bank Holiday Weekend.

Manned guarding allows for regular checks of the entire property, throughout the duration of the booking, whereas mobile patrols allow the guards to constantly tour the site.

Putting a guard on site allows for rapid incident response and ensures that a fully trained officer is on hand to escalate any incidents accordingly. This reduces the risk of theft and damage, and therefore any interruption to your operation.

2. Temporary Intruder Alarms

ARM Secure also have the capacity to monitor any intruder alarms on site, handling the activation in a manner agreed with the customer during onboarding.

Most premises will have an intruder alarm system installed, but if not, ARM Secure also offer temporary intruder alarms, which prove popular for those protecting vacant properties.

Should an incident occur on site, these temporary intruder alarms provide our team with the opportunity to issue a rapid response, acting as an effective Bank Holiday security solution.

Our temporary alarms have an internal battery and 4G connectivity, meaning no site infrastructure is needed to get them operational.

3. Alarm Response & Keyholding

ARM Secure work with network of accredited security providers to offer a nationwide alarm response and keyholding solution.

This effective Bank Holiday security method sees ARM Secure dispatch one of our fully trained security personnel to your site in the event of an alarm activation, to assess the premises and escalate as required.

Doing this allows you to keep your staff safe, ensuring that if an incident occurs at your premises, it is dealt with by an expert SIA guard. We can also offer a 24/7 response, meaning that no matter when an alarm is activated, we can get to your business to deal with it.

All keys are held securely, in line with industry standards, or alternatively keys can be held on-site in a key safe, or with a trusted staff member.

4. Rapid Deployment CCTV Tower

For a modern, technical approach to Bank Holiday security, ARM Secure offer state-of-the-art CCTV towers.

These towers, with retractable masts, feature four cameras for 360-degree coverage to keep your site secure. The powerful integrated artificial intelligence helps enhance the detection ability of the towers, reducing the chance of false alarms.

There is no need for existing infrastructure. Our CCTV towers house powerful lithium batteries, charged from solar panels, and have 4G for connectivity, no matter the location.

ARM Secure can deliver these towers to suit, when required, meaning that your site can have temporary additional protection over the Bank Holiday weekend.

5. CCTV Monitoring

ARM Secure are one of the UK’s leading CCTV monitoring companies. Our team has been delivering fantastic service to our customers from our NSI Gold Remote Video Response Centre for over twenty years.

If you have a CCTV system in place, but it is not monitored, then it has limited impact in reducing the chance of crime on your site. However, if the site is monitored, once there is an activation, fully trained response operators can escalate the situation as required, including sounding an audible deterrent or alerting the emergency services.

ARM Secure can offer same day onboarding so if you are looking to enhance your Bank Holiday security, our team should be able to react quickly to get your CCTV system monitored in time.
