Rural Property Security 26 March 2024

Estate security in rural areas requires a comprehensive approach, and ESG Security understands the unique challenges involved. We can tailor our services to address your specific needs, ensuring effective protection.

Risk Assessment and Understanding

We will begin by identifying the specific threats to your estate. These may include opportunistic theft, organised crime, vandalism or unathorised access.

We then move on to, identifying the assets that need protection – whether it’s valuable art, historical artefacts, livestock or machinery.

Layered Approach

Electronic Security

While electronic security (alarms, CCTV cameras and access control) plays a vital role, it should complement physical security measures.

Physical Security

Implementing physical security measures, e.g., security guarding, regular patrols etc., provides a layered defence. This approach deters, detects and ensures a timely intervention.

Police

Co-operating with the police can provide invaluable information on local crime and assist during emergencies.

It can also mean that disagreements relating to public rights of way do not get out of control.

ESG Security’s Approach

Security Guarding

This is where trained security officers provide a visible deterrent, monitor access points and respond swiftly to incidents.

Mobile Patrols

This is where a security officer in a security liveried vehicle, patrols the estate at random or agreed frequencies.

Guard Dog and Dog Handler

Well trained guard dogs enhance security by providing an additional layer of deterrence.

Remember – early detection and rapid response are critical, especially for larger properties like country estates. By combining electronic and physical security, you create a robust defence that safeguards both assets and people.
