Network Rail Southern Region Security Assistance
Lingwood Security recently provided security cover on the Train Strikes based in Wessex. This was additional cover in Kent, Sussex, and Wessex teams that we already had on the Strategic Crime Intelligence, Security and Welfare Services.
Our Security Officers duties are to:
- Deter crime, trespass and reduce anti-social behaviour on and around NR infrastructure;
- Identify potentially suicidal persons and make interventions;
- Respond to operational incidents;
- Maintain intelligence reports;
- Assist other parties (TOCs, BTP etc.);
- Assist with major incident response;
- Provide support to other stakeholders in joint operations and major incident response;
- Support railway staff in keeping the infrastructure and railway environment safe and secure;
- Temporary repairs to fencing and/or other access points.
Our security service is 24-hours and works round 365 days of the year. We have a committed team to helping the public on train lines.
