Public & Community

Melbourne Public & Community Security Guards

PUBLIC & COMMUNITY SECURITY

Metro Guards: Melbourne Public & Community Security Guards

Melbourne's public and community spaces play a vital role in education and social wellbeing. With high daily foot traffic and open-access environments, they face security challenges including trespassing, vandalism, antisocial behaviour, etc.

Regular campus patrols
Gate supervision & controlled access
Active CCTV monitoring
Emergency support

Metro Guards provide professional and experienced security officers to protect schools, council facilities, places of worship, libraries, cultural centres, and public venues 24/7. We help create a safe, welcoming, and well-managed environment for everyone.

Full-time and Part-time School Security Services

Educational environments across Melbourne, such as Carlton, Footscray, Sunshine, and Frankston, require safety protocols to safeguard students, staff, and visitors. Metro Guards strengthens campus security by monitoring perimeters, preventing unauthorised access, and supporting emergency procedures.

Our trained school security officers ensure only authorised individuals enter while maintaining a welcoming, safe, community-friendly environment.

  • ID verification for staff, contractors, and visitors, and ongoing patrols throughout playgrounds, classrooms, buildings, and parking areas.
  • Gate supervision during drop-off/pick-up and rapid response to incidents involving student safety or property protection.

24/7 Council Facilities & Civic Property Protection

Melbourne facilities such as libraries, community hubs, municipal buildings, and public service centres across areas are vulnerable to vandalism, antisocial behaviour, and unauthorised loitering.

Metro Guards supports councils by managing entry and exit points with strict access control and patrolling public spaces to deter disturbances. We help councils maintain safe and functional community operations across busy precincts. Our security guards maintain law and order by:

  • Monitoring CCTV and alarm systems
  • Handling visitor screening and maintaining orderly queues
  • Supporting after-hours programs and events
  • Fast response rate to emergencies

Security for Places of Worship & Cultural Centres

Melbourne's religious and cultural sites, such as mosques, temples, churches, and cultural halls, often host large gatherings, posing high security risks of vandalism, overcrowding, or unauthorized access.

Metro Guards enhances protection by providing trained guards with cultural awareness and respectful conduct. Our approach focuses on safety without disrupting the welcoming and spiritual atmosphere.

  • Managing crowds during services, festivals, and ceremonies, and monitoring entrances to prevent unauthorised access.
  • Conducting patrols around prayer halls, courtyards, and public areas, and coordinating parking and traffic flow.

Comprehensive Public Space Protection

Beyond schools, council facilities, and places of worship, Metro Guards provides comprehensive security coverage for all types of public and community spaces across Melbourne. Our community-focused approach ensures every venue receives respectful, professional protection.

From libraries and community centres to cultural venues and public events, we deliver consistent, welcoming security that maintains safety while preserving the open, accessible nature of community spaces.

  • Site assessments to identify vulnerabilities and create community-appropriate security plans.
  • Flexible deployment options including full-time guards, part-time coverage, or event-based security.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Say – Security Guard Services in Melbourne

Don't just take our word for it. Hear from businesses and organizations across Melbourne who trust Metro Guards for their security needs.

"I wanted to share some feedback with you on the lovely boy we had at Malvern East on Tuesday.He was absolutely fantastic. As our queues of customers rapidly grew throughout the event, he quickly became the first point of contact for many of them. He greeted everyone with a smile, engaged in conversations, and clearly communicated our promotion, all while keeping customer safety as his top priority. He made it very easy for me to trust that he could manage the crowd and ensure everyone stayed safely away from the main road.At one point, when traffic began to back up from our site onto the main road and freeway, he immediately brought it to my attention, closed the carpark, and started directing traffic, a quick decisive action that made a massive difference.Although he was originally scheduled to finish up at 10 pm, the queues were still super long. When I asked if he could stay later, he was more than happy to help. After making a quick phone call, he stayed on until midnight, which was such a huge support.I truly hope this feedback can be passed on to him. He did an outstanding job on the night, and I’m very grateful for his professionalism, initiative, quick thinking, and willingness to go above and beyond."

"All 3 of the guards provided by Metro Guards were organised, on time and keen to deliver the service that best work for our group. This allowed us to have a tailored setup that suited the requirements of our event, rather than the guards telling us how they will work. I had a number of guest at our event comment on the polite and helpful manner of the guards working at our event. Our experience with Metro Guards was nothing but positive. Even when we had last minute changes to our booking, Metro Guards were able to provide an additional guard at short notice. Metro Guards will be my first point of contact for any future security needs."
