Security Night Watchmen, or night security guards, provide overnight security deterrents and management, protecting the property, assets and its occupants.
Typically, a
nightwatchman will conduct foot patrols of premises but will mainly monitor the
CCTV cameras for any suspicious activities. They are a constant deterrent against
intruders and can summon assistance very swiftly to deal with any issues
arising.
The UK’s association with night watchmen began in the 13th Century. Wikipedia explains:
The
streets in London were dark and had a shortage of and poor quality artificial
light. It had been recognised for centuries that the coming of darkness to the
unlit streets of a town brought a heightened threat of danger, and that the
night provided cover to the disorderly and immoral, and to those bent on
robbery or burglary or who in other ways threatened physical harm to people in
the streets and in their houses.
The
anxieties that darkness gave rise to had been met by the formation of a night
watch in the 13th century, and by the rules about who could use the streets
after dark. These rules had for long been underpinned in London and other towns
by the curfew, the time (announced by the ringing of a bell) at which the gates
closed and the streets were cleared. Only people with good reason to be abroad
could then travel through the city] Anyone outside at night without reason or
permission was suspicious and potentially criminal.

Overnight
security guards remain one of the most effective measures to ensure the
protection of your premises and personnel.
Today, a
property or facilities manager can hire night watch security guards, to protect
premises in the UK, from Property Security Group Limited (PSG). These
SIA-licensed security officers are well trained and supported by local
supervisors and management. They make regular check calls to PSG’s 24hr Control
Room to ensure their welfare and diligence.
At weekends
and on Bank Holidays, the security guarding cover can be extended to a Security
Concierge role during the daytime. Whilst this would primarily be a security
role it could also include supervising contractors, supporting lone workers on
site, receiving deliveries etc.
Nightwatchman
duties are not confined to internal roles. They are often deployed as gatekeepers
at industrial premises, as guards for car compounds, construction site security
guarding, security for List X premises, as security nightwatchmen for
factories, warehouse security guards, protecting country estates, overnight
security for residential properties, business park security – and a whole host
of other deployments.
