Our Security Teams
Our security teams are made up of experienced local professionals, fully licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). Each member undergoes rigorous training and passes a comprehensive background check before receiving their SIA frontline licence, ensuring they are both highly skilled and thoroughly vetted.
They know the communities they serve, and they’re committed to building safer, more secure environments for businesses like yours. Whether it’s patrolling your area, responding to incidents, or simply being a reassuring presence, they operate with professionalism and integrity.
We work closely with our teams and our clients to make sure the service evolves with your needs. Monthly check-ins help us stay on top of any new concerns, so our guards can focus on what matters most to you.
Our Founders' Story
Local people
District Security was founded by professionals who all grew up in the South East and care deeply about the future of Brighton. We've seen how rising crime has impacted the city — especially its businesses — and we came together to do something about it.
Diverse expertise
Each founder brings something different to the table:
- A career in the British Army
- Years managing hospitality venues
- A background in banking and financial services
This mix of experience gives us a well-rounded understanding of risk, safety, and the real-world needs of local businesses.
Security that responds to reality
One of our founders saw the rise in crime up close while working in the hospitality scene—anti-social behaviour, theft, and violence affecting staff and customers alike.
We believe that coordinating the provision of reliable, professional security personnel is one of the most effective ways to make Brighton safer. A strong security presence protects people, deters crime, and gives business owners peace of mind.
