Birmingham is a major city in the UK that attracts tourists and new residents every day. The high activity in the area creates a strong need for safe parking. Our team sees that every business in the city depends on a secure parking space. A protected site gives the public confidence and supports smooth daily operations.
But regarding site protection, unwanted activities can be a serious issue that can’t be easily managed. One such business facility, which is renowned for its secure underground and multi-storey parking spaces, comes across this struggle. For a period, the parking lot became a shelter for unwanted activities. Homeless individuals seeking refuge and a rise in drug-related issues. The reputation of the car park was affected as so the safety concerns both users and employees.
Despite the car park’s advanced structure, these issues persisted and the management needs a professional solution to ensure the facility was safe, inviting and compliant with industry safety standards.
The team began looking for strict but smart security support that could detect and stop unwanted behaviour. During our first meeting, the parking team were unsure about the right type of security service they needed. They wanted a clear and reliable plan that could protect their users and improve the overall experience.
Solution
The Innovative Security Solution suggests the team a CCTV surveillance and manned guard support to provide an active, visible security presence and immediate response capabilities.
With the CCTV cameras placed strategically throughout the car park and trained security guards stationed at key points, the entire area was under constant monitoring. Since then, each incident has been recorded along with 24 hours of manned guarding, leading to the reduction of the homeless entry and drug use in the car park.
Result & Benefits
As a result, the car park received recognition for its commitment to strict security and safety. The management’s efforts, supported by Innovative Security Solutions, led to the car park being awarded the prestigious “Best Carpark in the UK” award.
Looking ahead, the parking facility continues to maintain strict security standards with the support of Innovative Security Solutions. Their experience serves as a valuable lesson for other businesses in similar industries.
