In addition, for high risk sites such as educational establishments we obtain enhanced CRB checks.

We are extremely proud of our SIA Accreditation and understand the importance of this to our clients. Having become an approved contractor within the first phase of this new initiative, AA Security are considered to be pioneers and among the elite top 10% of the security industry.
