Production Security

Safeland provides specialist film and TV production security across unit bases, studios and locations. We work closely with Production Managers, Location Managers and Line Producers to keep people, assets and reputations safe.

Security Management & Planning

Experienced Production Security Managers develop robust, risk-based security plans for your unit base, studio and locations. They coordinate security operations and secure top-tier lead guards with proven film and TV experience.

  • Threat and risk assessments for each location
  • Security plans aligned with call sheets and schedules
  • Clear reporting lines into production and locations

On-Set & Unit Base Guards

Licensed security guards protect cast, crew, visitors and physical equipment. Our teams are used to working in live production environments and require minimal direction.

  • Access control at unit bases and studios
  • Protection of vehicles, technical equipment and high-value props
  • 24/7 guarding for sensitive or remote locations

Talent Support & Close Protection

From discreet assistance off-set to overt close protection, we ensure performers can move and work without disruption, while their security and privacy are protected.

  • Licensed close protection officers for film and TV
  • Discreet or overt presence based on risk profile
  • Escort between hotel, unit base and set

Traffic Control & Marshalling

Traffic marshals manage vehicle movement around unit bases and locations, supporting both safety and smooth logistics.

  • Traffic marshals for public roads and private estates
  • Use of appropriate traffic control equipment
  • Coordination with locations and local authorities

On-Set Medical Cover

Trained medics provide on-set medical support for cast and crew. Our medics act as first responders and liaise with local emergency services if required.

  • First aid and trauma-trained medics
  • Support for stunt days and higher-risk scenes
  • Medical reporting aligned with your H&S processes

It's what we do

Our team understands the pressures of filming schedules, confidentiality and talent welfare. We design security plans that support, rather than slow down, your production — whether it’s a long-running series, a one-off drama or a feature film.

Production Security FAQs

Do you only work in the UK?

+

Not at all - while we are based in the UK, we support productions filming internationally. Please contact us with your locations and schedule and we will outline what we can provide.

How early should we involve you in our production?

+

The earlier the better. Involving security during pre-production allows us to assess locations, plan for cast movements and align with your call sheets and logistics from day one.

Can you work alongside existing in-house security teams?

+

Yes. We often integrate with in-house security, location departments and H&S teams, providing specialist production security and close protection where needed.
