Collaborating with local authorities to ensure community safety

VGS Residential Security Patrols collaborate with local police, Safer Neighbourhood Teams, and Neighbourhood Watch groups to combat crime and strengthen the protection network for local communities.

Thanks to the success of our local partnerships, VGS Ltd has established several ‘Information Sharing Agreements’ with local police, enabling both parties to exchange crucial information on national and local crime activities.

As a security company dedicated to serving entire communities, not just individual clients, our partnership with local police benefits everyone, especially the local residents. Sharing vital information confidentially allows us to prevent crime before it happens. We’re also able to deploy our security teams quickly during situations when the police may not be available—something that’s becoming more frequent.

Environmental Consideration

We prioritize environmental protection just as much as we prioritize our clients' safety. VGS is committed to reducing its carbon footprint without compromising the quality of our service. To achieve this, we’ve adopted a ‘green’ approach to our patrol fleet, gradually replacing traditional petrol and diesel vehicles with eco-friendly hybrid and electric alternatives wherever possible.

Due to the patrol-based nature of our operations, the mileage limitations of many electric vehicles make them unsuitable for some of our 24-hour patrol areas. In these cases, we opt for smaller, low-emission vehicles and encourage our officers to drive responsibly by turning off engines when stationary.

Join our team

Our service is only as effective as the team we deploy, which is why VGS Ltd is built around its people. If you have what it takes to thrive in one of the fastest-growing security companies in London and the South East, contact us today.
