Secure a signature level of protection with highly disciplined, professional and expertly trained close protection officers from ProFM Group.
Secure a signature level of protection with highly disciplined, professional and expertly trained close protection officers from ProFM Group.
With the UK’s rising crime rates making regular and uncomfortable headlines, as well as the ever-present threat of international terrorism and global threats, there’s never been a better time to invest in close protection. At ProFM, we understand that, and we’re proud to uphold superb standards and professionalism, which have seen us lead the way in VIP protection.
From Premier League footballers and sports personalities to stars of stage and screen, ProFM have a robust complement of close protection officers on hand to protect high-net-worth individuals from the unique threats they face. Plus, with round-the-clock support from our Control Centre, you know you’re in safe hands with ProFM.
The bread and butter of any comprehensive close protection services, ProFM can offer expert levels of coverage. With all of our officers screened and vetted for a minimum of 5 years, alongside industry-leading training protocols, you’re in the best possible hands with our close protection officers.
Trained to deal with a wide range of risks and incidents, from threats of violence and harassment to theft and assault, our officers can ensure your consummate protection throughout the day and night. All of this, coupled with ProFM’s stellar reputation for quality, means you can rest easy and go about your day without the background worries you might’ve previously had.
Close protection isn’t just about keeping people safe – our property and assets also carry substantial worth, whether that’s in terms of money, information or sentimental value. We understand that completely here at ProFM, and our complete close protection service encompasses coverage for your property, too.
Whether your assets are at risk of damage, theft or counterfeited (crucial if you’re working with confidential documents), ProFM can provide an expert level of coverage and protection to provide the peace of mind you deserve.
VIPs are always likely to be in demand, especially those who’ve gained fame on stage, on screen or in the news. That naturally brings with it a packed calendar of awards ceremonies, guest appearances and other special events, which all bring with them the inherent risk of danger. With ProFM’s comprehensive suite of close protection services, you’re always in safe hands.
Whether you’re in a private box or booth, or mingling with the crowds at a sports match or concert, ProFM’s close protection operatives are the ideal choice. Seamlessly switching between covert surveillance and a visible deterrent, you’ll always have sight of your protection while you enjoy your event.
The threats to your safety don’t sleep, and neither do our security services here at ProFM. Whether you’re in your home, at a hotel, or in a temporary residency, we can offer total coverage 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You’ll be able to rest easy knowing you’re constantly protected by a professionally trained, screened and vetted close protection operative.
There’s long been research that supports the effectiveness of a visible security presence, and that’s especially true for your residence. Criminals and intruders will be put off at that first hurdle, effectively nipping the issue in the bud and keeping you safe from threats that never had the chance to materialise.
Here at ProFM Group, we’re exceptionally proud to offer a diverse range of security services and solutions for businesses up and down the UK. From our expertly trained security officers, to sophisticated electronic security solutions, we’re able to provide a robust, tailor-made suite of security services no matter what you do.

Just like your circumstances, all of the close protection security solutions we provide are unique and delivered with personalised, first-class service.
From residential security and covert surveillance to expertly trained chauffeurs for your excursions, ProFM has you comprehensively covered.
All of our security officers undergo a rigorous screening and vetting process, as well as extensive training, to ensure complete protection.
An integral visual deterrent, the presence of close protection officers will significantly minimise the chance of theft, assault and other criminal threats.
Not only are they an exceptionally effective deterrent, but our close protection officers also act as a rapid response solution to any potential or genuine threats.
Wherever you’re based and wherever you travel, ProFM can offer that same level of professional, exceptional coverage.
Close protection is a more robust and singularly-focused service, and offers a greater level of protection for individuals, families and small groups. It offers a more self-contained service than security officers and mobile patrols, which – while exceptional services in their own right – are more focused on businesses, gatherings and events.
This service helps provide the peace of mind you deserve, and that might have otherwise been lacking without that additional layer of coverage. Plus, with a discreet approach to offering the security you need, you’ll never be far from the protection you need.
There’s a huge range of duties and responsibilities that you can reasonably expect from your close protection personnel. These include:
No. In the UK, carrying firearms is illegal, and close protection officers are no different. They’re also not legally allowed to carry other weapons, including tasers, pepper spray, batons and truncheons. Your expert close protection officer will instead be trained to defuse situations, de-escalate any issues, and offer you complete protection, using physical intervention and restraint where needed.
While you’ll find our headquarters directly between two of the North West’s major cities in Liverpool and Manchester, we’re proud to offer a comprehensive, nationwide service. We know that, as a VIP, you’ll often be travelling, and our coverage extends across the whole of the UK to guarantee you the level of coverage you’ll come to expect from the UK’s #1 ACS-approved security firm.
Close protection is often recommended for VIPs, high net-worth individuals, and those in positions of power, and for good reason. These are often people who face considerable difficulties and challenges, as well as offering a more attractive target for thefts and assault.
The truth of the matter, though, is that anyone can request close protection. This might be due to issues with harassment and stalking, concerns for personal safety, or when handling particularly expensive or valuable items.
All of our close protection officers are fully SIA-licenced, and undergo a comprehensive screening and vetting process to ensure that they’re able to offer the levels of protection and service you both expect and deserve. They’ll also have completed an officially recognised and robust Close Protection course, which equips them to deal with a huge range of scenarios and incidents.
Yes! Our close protection operatives are specifically trained to offer you the consummate protection you need, wherever you are. That extends to your home (or additional properties you may have), workplace, events, or any other areas where you might spend a good period of time (the gym or an educational establishment, for instance).
We’re also able to provide security officers who stay behind to ensure the continued safety of your home while you’re not there.
All of the solutions we offer for close protection services are tailor-made, and built to ensure that your unique circumstances are more than met. While this means we can’t provide an average price for our close protection officers, it does ensure that you’re always getting what you need at a competitive price point.
