Openshaw Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you send a guard to Openshaw at short notice? We can arrange short-notice guards through our 24/7 control room, subject to availability. With 120 SIA-active officers in our network within 10 miles, there is a large local pool to draw on. The officer books on by GPS and you receive a digital report. ### Do you provide event staff near the Etihad Stadium? Yes. We supply SIA-licensed event security and stewards for stadiums and arenas, including the Etihad Stadium, Joie Stadium and Manchester Regional Arena. For events over 200 people, our free audit can cover readiness for Martyn's Law. ### Where are the Openshaw crime numbers? Our tiles come from Police.uk, and the Manchester force's submissions there are currently incomplete. Rather than show partial figures, we suggest a free on-site audit, which looks at the specific risks to your premises. ### Can you protect warehouses on Clayton or Tavistock industrial estates? We can. Wholesalers form 5.7% of the city's business count, compared with 3.6% for Britain as a whole. Gatehouse control, yard guarding, mobile patrols and alarm response are all available for warehouses and distribution units. ### Can patrols help with off-road bikes? Off-road bikes are one of the Openshaw police team's priorities. Patrols and CCTV towers on yards, car parks and construction sites help deter riders from cutting through, and our reports give you a record to share with the police.
