Cities and Municipalities

Your Trusted Security Partner

Securing public spaces: an essential mission

Cities and municipalities are facing an increasing number of security challenges: protecting public buildings, securing sensitive infrastructure, managing events, preventing risks and preserving public order.

Because security is essential to the proper functioning of public services, local authorities need reliable partners who help protect citizens, municipal employees and critical infrastructure.

Our conviction: local authorities should be free to focus on their core responsibilities while we take care of their day-to-day security.

Simplified access to recognised security solutions

The modernisation of the legal framework governing private security, notably through the 2017 Jambon Law and a recent ministerial circular published in the Belgian Official Gazette, highlights the possibilities available to public authorities to engage private security companies in compliance with the applicable legal framework. It confirms that many assignments—including the surveillance of public buildings, site protection, secure transport, escorts and video monitoring—may be entrusted to specialised operators. Certain “static security” duties may also be outsourced.

In this context, Protection UNIT provides cities and municipalities with a comprehensive approach combining human expertise, innovative technologies and training.

Streamlined collaboration through the Central Procurement Agency

Following a public procurement procedure, the Central Procurement Agency selected Protection UNIT as its sole provider of security solutions. Affiliated organisations therefore benefit from:

  • simplified access to our services;
  • negotiated terms;
  • rapid implementation;
  • a turnkey solution;
  • no need to organise a new public procurement procedure.
