Reducing crime IN Salford

Salford City Council has a long history of providing community safety related activities. Our first CCTV control room opened in 1998 and shortly after we introduced the Quay Watch and City Watch manned guarding services. Since then we have continued to improve these services and in November 2010 we opened our new state-of-the-art CCTV control room. These services, complemented by a Police Airwaves radio system, include a digital CCTV recording and monitoring service, intruder and fire alarm monitoring services and a manned guarding response service.

Thanks to this significant investment, we are now able to provide a range of affordable security services to premises across Salford. Our aim is a simple one, to make Salford a safer place in which to live, work and visit. This, together with our attainment of the prestigious British Standards certifications BS 7958, BS 5979 and BS 8418, is our assurance that we will provide you with the highest quality of service.

Read on to find out more about the individual services we could provide to your Salford premises.

CCTV monitoring services

Our CCTV control room operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. We use digital recording equipment and retain all images for a period of 31 days. We use only experienced and fully vetted Security Industry Authority licensed staff and maintain a close working relationship with Greater Manchester Police. This partnership and our use of a Police Airwaves radio system allows us to respond promptly to crime trends and threats and communicate directly with police officers as required.

We remain flexible to the needs of our customers, and using our local knowledge and access to crime pattern analysis, we can tailor a service level agreement to suit you. We only fit fixed CCTV cameras as part of a public space monitoring scheme, but we are happy to provide you with impartial advice on the technologies you would need to adopt in order for us to access image streams from your cameras. We also have access to mobile CCTV cameras, which, subject to on-site power provision and a line of sight survey, can be installed at your location at minimum notice and so are ideally suited to temporary CCTV monitoring, for instance during building works or in the absence of on-site security staff.

Intruder and fire alarm monitoring

We also have an in-house Alarm Receiving Centre, certified to the British Standard BS 5979 (Code of practice for remote centres receiving signals from security systems) and can provide our customers with an intruder and fire alarm monitoring service. Our centre uses the latest Bold Gemini alarm receiving platform and all our monitoring staff are fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority. Our local presence, access to a Police Airwaves radio system and supplementary CCTV coverage across the city enables us to provide a totally unique service. Whilst we act as an Alarm Receiving Centre only, we would be pleased to advise you of your options regarding alarm transmission, including new digital communication devices which can often generate cost savings over hardwired transmission systems.

Manned security response

In addition to our intruder alarm monitoring service, we are also able to provide a complementary manned guarding response and key holding service. This service enables us to deploy a guard who will verify the nature of the alarm activation, contacting the police or others as required. Our centralised location within Salford and use of multiple vehicles and drivers assures you of the fastest response times.

Shop watch and pub watch radio scheme

If you manage a Salford shop or public house, you could also benefit from a partnership arrangement we have in place with Apex Radios. This Salford radio scheme provides radio subscribers with direct radio communication 24/7 to both our security centre and other radio users in your area. This instant two way communication can give extra protection to your staff, stock and customers with handsets available from Apex Radios on a rented basis.
