60% Reduction in False Alarm Call-Outs
Regional Retail Park (Hull)
Challenge
A retail park was experiencing 15-20 false alarm activations per month, resulting in unnecessary mobile response costs and operational disruption. Previous providers had not identified the root causes.
Solution
SPS implemented an integrated approach: CCTV monitoring connected to our 24/7 control room for visual verification before dispatch, plus a systematic review of alarm sensor placement and sensitivity settings by our technical team.
Results
False alarm call-outs reduced by 60% within three months. Annual security costs decreased by £8,400 while maintaining full coverage. Root cause analysis identified faulty PIR sensors and environmental triggers, which were resolved.

Academy Trust (6 schools)
Challenge
A multi-academy trust managing six schools needed consistent security across all sites, including unlock/lock-up services, keyholding, and technical maintenance. Previous arrangements involved multiple contractors with inconsistent standards.
Solution
SPS deployed a unified programme: daily unlock/lock-up with GPS verification, centralized keyholding through our 24/7 control room, and planned technical maintenance across all sites. One point of contact, one reporting structure.
Results
Caretaker time saved across the trust totalled 18 hours per week. Security incidents reduced by 45% in year one. Standardized reporting enabled the trust to demonstrate compliance to governors and Ofsted.

Food Processing Facility
Challenge
A 24/7 manufacturing facility was using separate contractors for guarding, CCTV, and alarm response. Coordination gaps meant incidents were sometimes missed, and accountability was unclear when issues arose.
Solution
SPS implemented a fully integrated security model: on-site guards working directly with our control room monitoring CCTV and access control, supported by rapid mobile response for perimeter breaches. All services connected through one reporting system.
Results
Response to perimeter breaches improved from 18 minutes (average) to 6 minutes. Theft incidents reduced by 70% in the first year. Client now receives unified monthly reporting with trend analysis and actionable insights.

Logistics Hub Perimeter Security
Distribution Centre (West Yorkshire)
Challenge
A 250,000 sq ft distribution centre was experiencing regular perimeter breaches and attempted cargo theft. Existing static CCTV provided limited deterrence and reactive response was too slow.
Solution
SPS installed upgraded CCTV with analytics and remote monitoring through our control room, integrated with mobile patrol routes optimized using GPS data. Guards received real-time alerts from control room operators during patrols.
Results
Perimeter breaches reduced by 85% within six months. No successful cargo theft incidents recorded since implementation. Insurance premium reduced following security upgrade demonstration.
