Uniformed officers can make all the difference between your premises becoming the target for undesirables. The presence of uniformed officers in your premises whatever the nature of your business acts as a foil for the plans of undesirables who costs business thousands of pounds each year.

Test Purchase
In an effort to assist our clients in the limitations of losses at till points Central Watch Security can carry out three types of test purchases.
- Procedural: A test purchaser will carry out a transaction at a till point and report on the accuracy of the till operator.

Experienced operatives can visit our client's premises and carry out random staff searches. An extension of this service is our Out of Hours service, where an operative will arrive at the premises prior to closing.
