What Our Manned Guarding Services in Kenya Include

Patrols Regular foot patrols of perimeters, parking areas, stores and entry points Spots open doors, damaged fences and suspicious activity early
Incident response Acting on alarms, intruders, fires and medical emergencies, and calling backup or the police Reduces loss and harm when something goes wrong
CCTV monitoring Watching camera screens from the guardhouse or control room Extends the guard’s view across the whole site
Occurrence reporting Keeping an occurrence book and writing incident reports Gives you a clear record for management, insurance and the police
Customer service Greeting visitors, giving directions and keeping entrances orderly Creates a professional first impression of your home or business

How We Select, Train and Supervise Our Security Guards

A security guard is only as good as the training and supervision behind them. That is why our manned guarding services in Kenya follow a strict process from recruitment to deployment:

  1. Background vetting: identity verification, police clearance and reference checks for every recruit.
  2. Professional training: security procedures, access control, patrol techniques, report writing, fire safety, first aid and customer service.
  3. Site briefing: each guard learns your layout, entry points, procedures and emergency contacts before the first shift.
  4. Active supervision: field supervisors carry out unannounced checks on guards, day and night.
  5. Ongoing refresher training: regular sessions keep standards high and guards alert.

Frequently Asked Questions About Manned Guarding Services in Kenya

What are manned guarding services?

Manned guarding services place trained security guards physically on your premises to control access, patrol the site, respond to incidents and deter crime. It is the most visible form of security and works well on its own or alongside CCTV and alarms.

How much do manned guarding services in Kenya cost?

The cost depends on the number of guards, the shift pattern (day, night or 24-hour), the size of the site and its risk level. Guards in Kenya must be paid at least the government-set minimum wage, so be cautious of quotes far below the market rate. We offer a free site assessment and a personalised quote.

Do you provide 24-hour security guards?

Yes. We provide 24-hour security guards on rotating shifts, so your property is protected day and night, including weekends and public holidays.

Are your security guards trained and vetted?

Yes. Every guard goes through identity checks, police clearance and reference checks, then receives training in security procedures, access control, patrols, first aid, fire safety and customer service before deployment.

What happens if my guard is absent?

We send a trained relief guard, so your post is never left unattended.

Can I combine manned guarding with CCTV and alarm response?

Yes. Many clients combine on-site guards with CCTV monitoring and alarm response for complete protection under one contract.

How quickly can you deploy security guards?

Once we have assessed your site and agreed on the plan, we can deploy guards quickly, including at short notice for emergencies and short-term assignments.
