Security services in Rochdale.
From distribution sites on the M62 to schools, care homes and town-centre offices, Clear Watch Security protects Rochdale premises with SIA-licensed officers, mobile patrols, and keyholding and alarm response.

Security in Rochdale
Security that fits how Rochdale works.
Logistics and manufacturing drive Rochdale’s economy. Kingsway Business Park sits on Junction 21 of the M62, Stakehill Industrial Estate is close to Junction 20, and Heywood Distribution Park serves the corridor further west. Sites like these hold valuable stock and vehicles, often run around the clock and can sit quiet at weekends, which is where much of our Rochdale work is.
We work across the borough in every sector: distribution centres, warehouses and manufacturing sites, schools, care homes, offices and retail. So we know the estates, the roads and what Rochdale sites need, from alarm activations on industrial units at night to keeping school sites secure after hours and in the holidays.
Our officers are directly employed, vetted and SIA-licensed. As an SIA Approved Contractor for Security Guarding and Keyholding, we agree cover around your site and report on every visit.

How guarding is checked
Every shift checked, from start to finish.
Guarding only works if the officer is on site, alert and doing what was agreed. This is how we make sure of that on every shift.
Checked at the start
Night shifts start with a video check of the officer’s uniform and SIA licence.
Check calls on every shift
Our control room makes check calls day and night. A missed check-in is escalated.
Supervisor visits
During the day, supervisors visit officers on site.
Relief cover arranged
Regular officers stay on your site, with relief cover arranged when they are off.
Reports you can see
Patrols and incidents are logged live on our reporting platform, and you can view them yourself.
Clear evidence from every shift
Know what happened on your site.
Guarding clients have access to our live tracking and reporting platform, so patrols, checks and incidents are recorded as they happen.
