Static security
SECURITY SERVICES IN LONDON
A consistent security presence at your premises helps manage access, monitor activity and give staff a clear point of contact. Orion provides static security for offices, residential buildings, commercial premises and other sites in London.
Security at a fixed location
Static security is based around an agreed post or building rather than visits between different sites. The assignment can focus on a reception area, entrance, gatehouse or another identified position. We establish the duties around how the premises operate and the people who use them.
What the assignment can include
- Managing agreed entry and exit procedures
- Checking visitors and directing deliveries
- Observing activity around the assigned post
- Keeping an occurrence log and recording incidents
- Following the site’s escalation and emergency procedures
Plan your service
Before the assignment starts, we agree the post location, shift times, access permissions, reporting arrangements and named contacts. Tell us about existing building-management procedures and any restrictions on the duties required. This gives the site team and the assigned officer a shared understanding of the role.
Define the post and handover
A fixed post needs clear boundaries. Identify whether the officer is expected to remain at the entrance, make internal rounds or cover more than one area. If a post would be left unattended during another duty, discuss the impact before including that task. The service plan should also explain breaks, shift changes and who can authorise a departure from the instructions.
Keep the site instructions current
Provide a nominated contact for day-to-day questions and an alternative for escalation. Visitor approvals, delivery arrangements and temporary access changes should be communicated through the agreed route. A useful occurrence log records facts and actions so the next shift understands what needs attention.

Questions about static security
Is static security the same as mobile patrols?
Static security provides a presence at an agreed location for the assigned period. Mobile patrols involve visits and checks. We can discuss which arrangement suits your premises.
Can the duties include reception support?
Visitor reception and access duties can form part of the agreed assignment. The proposal should clearly distinguish security responsibilities from other reception tasks.
