Knight Security and WRSCIC, a Kingswood non-profit community interest company
Over several years Kingswood has been a target for many burglaries and unsavoury individuals that have targeted our homes and our families. Many residents decided to take a stand against these criminals and decided to open a non-profit community interest company, so they could employ an external security company, to patrol the area and protect our homes and families. We took advice from a retired high ranking Police Officer with the Met, who recommended Knight Security.
Knight Security Patrol Officers and canine units have patrolled the area now for nearly four years. During this time, they have considerably cut crime in this area and our members feel much safer and secure again.
OUR MEMBERS RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING SERVICES.
- A Close Protection Officer with specialised vehicle and Dog Unit during the silent hours, working 7 x 12 hours shifts per week, 52 weeks a year. On average each Security Officer drives 90 to 100 miles covering the roads on the Estates, per 12-hour shift.

In a world currently filled with such adversity and a political landscape of such uncertainty, it is more important than ever to reinstate a sense of community and security. We residents in Kingswood are in a fortunate enough position, to be able to take control of our circumstances, set an example to our children, and to better the local community by enabling residents to feel safe and secure in their homes, whilst cutting down on crime. By standing together as one community, we can and will continue to make a stand against burglary and crime.
If you are interested in joining the security patrol scheme, please contact Wendy Llambias quoting your house name.
We look forward to hearing from you.
