Experienced and Non-Invasive Close Protection

Capricorn Security Group has been supplying the TV, Film, Sport & Media industries with licensed Close Protection Services since the SIA was formed in 2003. We provide a non-invasive service on either a one to one basis or as a Close Protection Team, for overt and covert protection, depending upon the client’s requirements. We conduct comprehensive threat and risk assessments to determine the best solution for our clients, ensuring a cost-effective service without compromising on quality.

The bulk of our operational experience is working with Celebrities from the world of TV, Film & Music, as well as home grown and International Sports Stars, when working on TV projects and other assignments in the Region. Our role is to protect our clients from threats or unwanted attention from over enthusiastic fans or eager paparazzi. We can also provide a secure transport service between locations.

For over 10 years, Capricorn Security has also worked hand in hand with Local and National TV News Crews (including Granada Reports, ITN & Sky News), when faced with reporting from difficult filming locations and potential hostile environments. Our ability to respond quickly to the escalation of events is second to none, and It’s at times like these where our experience is key, as keeping alert and calm under pressure is a necessity.

 

Specialist Covert Protection Services

We have also in recent years, conducted covert protection operations, accompanying investigative journalists on many assignments all over the county, on special projects and factual hard-hitting documentaries.
