A visible presence
A uniformed officer on the gate or in the building tells anyone thinking about trouble that the site is watched, and there is someone there to deal with it if it starts.

Manned guarding
Security officers on your site, when you need them
A camera can record what happens, but an officer can stop it. With manned guarding, a uniformed TFM officer works on your site for the hours you agree, controlling who comes and goes and keeping watch while your site is at its most exposed.
Cover for the hours you choose
Tell us the days and hours you need covered, whether that is nights, weekends or a set period while a site is open or empty, and we will plan the officers around them.
What you get

What's covered

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What does a manned guard do on site?
A TFM officer controls who comes on and off the site, patrols it during the shift, deals with anything that happens and reports back to you. We agree the details with you before the first shift.
Can I have guarding just for nights or weekends?
Tell us the days and hours you want covered and we will tell you how we can plan the officers around them.
