Government departments face increasing pressure to provide secure and functional properties for various public sector areas, including MOD residential buildings, university halls of residence, schools, and colleges. VPS offers comprehensive security solutions to protect properties at every stage of their lifecycle, whether occupied or vacant.
From clean and clear services, to implementing security barriers and CCTV, monitoring and alarm response to property inspections, VPS conducts thorough risk assessments to evaluate the likelihood and impact of each, then makes recommendations for tailored security solutions that evolve and adapt in accordance with the associated risk.
Potential Risks
Theft | Vandalism/Arson | Fire & Flooding | Squatting/Illegal Trespassing
Amidst the shifting political landscape, government departments are frequently tasked with achieving greater results while operating with fewer resources.
Risk Mitigation
An empty or occupied property is at risk of opportunists causing damage and stealing fixtures or fittings. If refurbishment or redevelopment is happening to the property, expensive tools and machinery must temporarily be stored on site, which can attract criminals.
Mitigation:
VPS can deploy controls to detect and prevent unwanted or unlawful access, as well as protect assets inside properties such as fixtures, fittings and materials left on site. In addition, we can deliver security through occupation securing and making use of government buildings that are still fit for occupation.
Government properties are targets for arsonists, as well as susceptible to escape of water from damaged or burst pipes, causing unwanted and unnecessary refurbishment works and cost.
Mitigation:
VPS safeguards buildings at every stage of their lifecycle, offering real-time alerts and monitoring services to prevent and mitigate fire incidents. Additionally, our solutions detect water loss and have the capability to shut off the water at its source, effectively minimising any resulting damage.
Criminals, squatters and opportunists may try to gain access to property and cause damage or undertake unlawful activities.
Mitigation:
VPS can deploy controls to detect and prevent unwanted or unlawful access, quickly dispatching a SIA security guard to deter or move on anyone entering the premises. In addition, our security by occupation solution ensures that the government property is protected by our live in Guardians.
