NOTE

Many of Security’s responsibilities are carried out in accordance with instructions issued by the Community Association – Security does not make the rules up..

ALWAYS RING ‘000’ FIRST, THEN SECURITY

The security officers work in teams of two – a controller, who stays in the Gatehouse to be always readily available, and a rover, who walks or drives around the estate checking locks, pump rooms, etc and keeping eyes open for anything of concern.
