Why Citywide
Why Businesses Choose Citywide
We recommend security based on the actual risks facing your property — not a generic guarding package. Before any deployment, we assess:
- The type and size of the property
- The hours during which security is required
- The number of entrances and restricted areas
- The people who regularly use the premises
- Previous incidents or known security concerns
- Existing alarms, CCTV and access-control systems
- The responsibilities expected from the assigned officers
SIA-Licensed Officers
Every guard holds a valid SIA licence. No exceptions, no shortcuts — verified before deployment.
Written Assignment Instructions
Each site gets documented protocols, daily activity logs and a named account manager.
Industry-Trained Staff
GDPR in corporate, HSE on construction, loss prevention in retail, guest focus in hospitality.
24/7 Operations
Long-term contracts, temporary cover, emergency response and periods of increased risk.
Commercial Arrangements
Officer Continuity & Cover
Where practical, Citywide aims to maintain regular officers who know the site. Planned replacement arrangements help protect continuity when a regular officer is unavailable — so cover never slips.
Long-term contracts, temporary assignments, emergency cover and periods of increased risk — all supported by the same continuity model.

Planned Replacement Cover
Planned replacement arrangements protect continuity when a regular officer is unavailable — so an absence never leaves the assignment unmanaged.

Security Buyer FAQs
Common Questions, Clear Answers
Straightforward answers to the questions security buyers ask before signing a contract. Still unsure? Request a callback and we’ll talk through your site.
Can Citywide provide the same regular security officers?
Where practical, yes. Citywide aims to maintain regular officers who become familiar with your site, post instructions and expectations. Planned replacement arrangements cover holidays, sickness and shift changes so continuity is protected.
How quickly can security cover be mobilised?
For most sites we can mobilise cover quickly, and emergency and short-notice assignments are supported nationwide. Timescales depend on location, hours required and the level of vetting the site calls for — we will confirm a realistic start when we quote.
Do I need a long-term contract, or can I get short-term security cover?
Both are available. We support long-term contracts, temporary assignments, one-off events and short periods of increased risk, with the same standards applied either way.
What happens if a security officer does not turn up for a shift?
Planned replacement cover is built into the assignment. If a regular officer is unavailable, a relief officer who is SIA-licensed and DBS-checked to the same standard is deployed, and your account manager is notified.
Are all guards SIA licensed and DBS checked?
Yes. Every officer holds a valid SIA licence, verified before deployment, and is DBS checked. This applies to relief and cover officers as well as regular site officers.
