Celebrating 10 Years of Vigilant Security

This month marks a significant milestone — Vigilant Security Services turns 10 years old. What began as a small team of 8 officers in London has grown into a nationwide operation with over 400 professionals protecting businesses, communities, and critical infrastructure.

We are grateful to every client, officer, and partner who has been part of this journey. Here’s to the next decade.

Mobile Patrol Expansion

We are pleased to announce the expansion of our Mobile Patrol coverage to three new regions: Yorkshire & Humber, the South West, and Northern Ireland.

Mobile patrols offer a cost-effective alternative to static guards for sites that require regular check-ins rather than 24-hour coverage. Our fleet now includes 40 marked vehicles, each fitted with GPS tracking, dash cams, and direct radio contact with our control centre.

The Rise of Drone Security

Drone surveillance is no longer a futuristic concept — it is a practical tool we are now deploying at select high-value sites. Our CAA-certified drone operators can:

• Conduct perimeter inspections of large estates in minutes
• Respond to alarm activations with aerial reconnaissance before ground teams arrive
• Provide live overhead feeds to our control centre during major events

Drone operations are conducted strictly within UK Civil Aviation Authority regulations and only in airspace approved for commercial UAV use.

Awards & Recognition

Vigilant was shortlisted for the Security Company of the Year award at the 2024 ASIS UK Chapter Awards. We are proud of this recognition and of the teams who make it possible.
