    Brief

    Essex County Council seeks licensed security operatives to deliver a 7-day-a-week patrol service across three major town centres (Braintree, Chelmsford, and Colchester) for three months. The service aims to provide visible security presence to reassure residents, deter anti-social behaviour, and gather evidence of any incidents. Licensed operatives will patrol agreed routes within town and city centres to enhance public safety and community confidence. Suitable suppliers should have experience in uniformed patrol services, trained and licensed security personnel, and the capacity to deliver consistent coverage across multiple locations.
