Urgent Guard isn’t just a booking line, it’s a platform that proves every officer is employed properly, fully compliant, and safe on shift. Here’s what the technology does for you behind the scenes.
Every officer on your site is a properly employed, fairly paid worker, and the platform makes it provable rather than just promised.
Licences and right-to-work aren’t checked once and forgotten. The system verifies and re-checks them continuously, and flags anything that lapses.
Lone-worker safety is built into every shift and watched by the 24/7 control room, so no one is ever truly on their own.
A UK-wide network of vetted officers means urgent cover, wherever your site is.
