Sparkbrook Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you put door staff on a Sparkbrook club? Yes. With 368 licensed premises within 5km, door work is a big part of our Birmingham operation. Each supervisor carries an SIA licence, and our controllers see each GPS check-in as the shift starts. ### Are K9 units available in Birmingham? Fifteen dog handlers from our network are based near Sparkbrook. Dog teams suit building sites, yards and large car parks, where an animal covers open ground in a way a person on foot cannot. ### How do you deal with vehicle crime around our premises? Police.uk logged 910 vehicle offences inside a mile in twelve months. We pair camera towers, monitored through an NSI Gold accredited monitoring centre, with irregular patrols, and keep footage that can be passed to West Midlands Police. ### Can you help a clinic or care provider? Health and care represents 7.5% of Birmingham firms, three points ahead of Britain. We place officers on front desks, run check-in calls for staff on lone shifts and cover evenings and weekends when the building is quieter. ### Does Martyn's Law affect our venue? If your venue's capacity is 200 or more, it will have Martyn's Law duties once the Act takes effect. We can review entrances, write search procedures and supply trained stewards, as we do for arts and nightlife venues around Sparkbrook.
