Why Choose Advance Guarding for Security in Sussex?
Sussex presents unique security challenges. The county’s mix of bustling coastal towns, rural estates, major transport links and thriving business districts requires a security partner who understands the local landscape. Our Worthing base positions us perfectly to respond rapidly across the entire region, with typical response times of under 30 minutes to most Sussex locations.
We work closely with Sussex Police’s Business Crime Team and the Safer Sussex Business Partnership to stay ahead of emerging threats. Recent data shows shoplifting and business crime remain significant concerns across the county, with Brighton and Hove, Crawley and coastal areas seeing the highest concentrations of reported incidents. Our intelligence-led approach means we can advise on the most appropriate security measures for your specific location and sector.
Every security officer we deploy holds a valid SIA licence, has passed enhanced DBS checks, and receives ongoing training in conflict resolution, first aid and customer service.

Mobile patrols are particularly effective for businesses with multiple sites across Sussex, vacant properties awaiting sale or development, and premises that don’t require a permanent security presence. Our patrol officers use GPS tracking and real-time reporting so you always know when your site has been checked.

Construction Site Security
Sussex has seen significant construction activity in recent years, from major housing developments in Crawley and Burgess Hill to commercial projects in Brighton and infrastructure works across the county. Construction sites are prime targets for theft of plant, materials and fuel, as well as vandalism and unauthorised access.

We work with contractors and developers across Sussex to create bespoke security plans that protect your investment without disrupting your build programme.

Security Dog Patrols
Security dogs provide an exceptional deterrent and detection capability. Our dog handlers and their trained protection dogs conduct patrols of industrial estates, construction sites, warehouses and large outdoor areas where a canine presence significantly enhances security effectiveness.
Dog patrols are particularly valuable for large perimeters, rural locations and sites where intruders might otherwise evade detection. All our dogs are fully trained, insured and handled by experienced SIA-licensed officers.
