Coulsdon Business Profile
Our Coulsdon roster numbers 135 people who live inside a 10-mile radius. Fifty-five of them are SIA-licensed and accepting work, and 15 have cars, which makes alarm response and patrol rounds practical. Every officer is screened to BS 7858 and paid via PAYE, and each patrol visit is confirmed with GPS book-on and written up in a digital report for the client.
