We're now on the hunt for exceptional Security Officers to join us. But not just anyone! We're searching for the top 1%. The elite few.
A tried-and-tested solution to tackling antisocial behaviour.
Antisocial behaviour is a common problem within town and city centre locations. As well as being unpleasant for visitors and residents, it has the potential to adversely impact on footfall, the revenue of local retailers and more broadly, on the reputation of the area.
Our award-winning City Centre Security Officers – also known as Town or City Centre Rangers – have been active in several locations, including Andover, Winchester, Salisbury, Basingstoke and Fareham since 2017. We also serve Southampton, Amesbury, Eastleigh, Portsmouth, Devizes and beyond.

All our officers are provided with a uniform and smartly dressed. They do not look like police officers but are clearly identifiable as fulfilling an enforcement role. They can deal directly with a defined range of antisocial issues, managing them professionally and effectively – and as required, escalating and reporting anything relevant to the appropriate authorities.
Officers will usually conduct their patrols in pairs and be trained in areas including conflict management, first aid and mental health first aid and crime scene management. They are available 7 days a week, 365 days a year and at any time of the day.
All customers are provided with daily electronic reports and have regular meetings with our team, to review and update on our officer’s progress.
