Why local authorities need to protect public spaces

SECOM offers an array of public building security options for local authorities to proactively and reactively maintain community safety. Our systems are designed to deter vandalism, monitor potential threats, and ultimately ensure public safety and security. 

While public incidents still occur regularly in local authority spaces, the funding and presence of police is inconsistent. As police involvement in public safety incidents decreases, local authorities are turning to proactive security solutions. That’s where SECOM can help, offering cutting-edge protection for your staff, buildings, and the public.
