24 hour protection - Safety and security for vehicles

Car parks can be particularly vulnerable during the hours of darkness. 24-7 Security Solutions can combine security patrols with electronic surveillance to ensure the protection of car parks throughout day and night.

24-7 Security Solutions can provide trained uniformed security officers at your car park to monitor all the movements which incorporate the facilities of entrance and exit and monitor and remove if necessary any unwelcome visitors and escort or direct all the allowed visitors.

National statistics show that around 30% of vehicle crimes occur in car parks*. The Safer Parking Scheme, run by the British Parking Association for the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), is designed to show drivers where they can park safely.

One hundred and ninety-four car parks in Yorkshire are proud holders of the Park Mark®, which is only awarded following a rigorous Police assessment. This takes into account a number of crime reduction criteria, including use of lighting, staff patrols, CCTV and other measures which create a safer parking environment suitable for the local area.

Journalist Nick Ross, presenter of BBC’s Crime watch programme for 23 years, is a strong supporter of the scheme. He comments: "Car crime has halved in the last 10 years or so, mostly because of sensible counter-measures. It’s a real success story. Manufacturers have put in better locks, motorists have learned to remove valuables and park in safe environments, and car park operators are doing their bit too. If you want to stay safe it's worth watching out for the Park Mark® logo".
