CSM Security

Last week, our Operations Associate, Michelle Jarvis, and her EDD Wilson successfully renewed their NCTAS-P reteam accreditation, achieving the highest possible pass rate in both Odour ID and Conventional Search disciplines.

A huge congratulations to Michelle and Wilson on this outstanding achievement. Everyone at CSM is incredibly proud to have such a dedicated handler and NCTAS-P accredited EDD as part of the team.

Well done, Michelle and Wilson!

Search Dog Oakley has been out in Chester City Centre this morning looking for people carrying controlled drugs.

Oakley only worked for short periods of time today, and had lots of breaks to make sure he stayed cool in the hot weather.

Cheshire Police work closely with Chester Racecourse to make sure everyone visiting the City has a safe and enjoyable weekend.

CSM Security is pleased to announce that, following our recent Security Industry Authority (SIA) Annual Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) assessment conducted by the SSAIB, we have successfully retained our approved status in Key Holding, Security Guarding (SG), and Door Supervision (DS) for the 11th consecutive year.

We are also proud to have achieved ACS approval for Close Protection, making CSM Security one of only 23 companies currently accredited in this specialist area.

In addition, all members of our senior management team have recently completed and successfully passed the Behavioural Analysis of Events, Individuals and Crowds (RQF) qualification, further strengthening our expertise in risk assessment and event security management.

We are equally delighted to announce that our Managing Director, Spencer Martin, has achieved his Level 4 Diploma in Spectator Safety Management (RQF), demonstrating our continued commitment to professional development, industry excellence, and the highest standards of service delivery.

These achievements reflect CSM Security’s ongoing investment in training, compliance, and operational excellence, ensuring we continue to provide our clients with the highest levels of professionalism and security expertise.

As the event season gets into full swing, our specialist event security teams have been working tirelessly across the country, delivering professional security solutions at both indoor and outdoor events.

Over the past few weeks, CSM teams have supported a wide range of operations, providing event security, close protection, enhanced search teams, pit and crowd safety management, NCTAS-P accredited explosive detection dogs, and fully accredited drug detection dog teams.

From sold-out performances by Super Furry Animals to major boxing events promoted by Gorilla Promotions, and from family fun days to large-scale outdoor events attracting tens of thousands of attendees, our focus remains the same: professional planning, effective deployment, and keeping people safe.

Every operation we deliver is built around one clear priority — ensuring that everyone gets home safely.

A huge thank you to our dedicated teams and valued clients for their continued trust and support.

We’re delighted to welcome Michelle Jarvis to CSM Security as our new Operations Associate.

Michelle joins us with extensive operational experience within the Detection and Security Dog industries, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise that will play a key role in the continued growth of our canine services.

We’re also pleased to welcome Michelle’s two Labradors to the team: Wilson, an NCTAS-P accredited Explosive Detection Dog (EDD), and Jet, who is learning the skills set to become an accredited Drug Detection Dog (DDD).

Their combined experience, professionalism, and capability will further strengthen our commitment to delivering high-quality canine security solutions to our clients.

Please join us in welcoming Michelle, Wilson, and Jet to the CSM Security family.

Yesterday marked a proud moment for CSM Security as we completed one of the most high-profile deployments possible during a Royal visit by His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen.

It was an honour to play a key role in the inner cordon and cathedral security, alongside supporting multiple operational functions throughout the day, including Movement and asset protection of crown jewels. This level of delivery is only possible through extensive planning, coordination, and the dedication of a highly professional team.

A huge thank you to every member of the CSM team for their outstanding work, as well as to our client for their trust. Special recognition also goes to our on-staff Trauma Medic, CP and Ops Planning Managers, and our valued service partners — Events Conwy for communications hire and MERE Supplies for providing top-tier trauma medical kits.

It’s been a busy and productive week for our Drug Detection Dog (DDD) and Explosive Detection Dog (EDD) teams.

Over the past seven days, our DDD teams have been deployed across eight separate operational tasks, while our EDD teams have supported three specialist deployments.

A strong reflection of the dedication, professionalism, and readiness of both our handlers and their dogs, who continue to deliver high standards of detection capability wherever they are required.

CSM Security Consultants LTD, a company that has been accepted onto the NCTAS-P programme and directly employs, or deploys contracted in, accredited EDD teams, is proud to be a NCTAS-P Affiliated company.
