Metro Guards offers Epping security guards for retail centres, construction sites, warehouses and office tenancies across the City of Whittlesea. Every officer we roster is a licensed security officer, ISO certified, CM3 certified and an ASIAL Gold Member, backed by 17+ years running static guards, mobile patrols, alarm response and CCTV monitoring through Melbourne's northern growth corridor.
Businesses choose our Epping security guards for shopping centres, warehouses, construction sites, offices and industrial facilities. Whether you need one static guard, scheduled mobile patrols or 24/7 site protection, we provide tailored security solutions backed by licensed officers and rapid local response.
Security Overview in 2026
Anyone hiring security services locally should start with the numbers, not the sales pitch. Whittlesea recorded 17,975 offences in the year to March 2026, up 1.6% on the year before, according to Crime Statistics Agency Victoria data. The suburb carried the largest share of that total, with more recorded offences than anywhere else in the municipality, ahead of Thomastown, Mill Park, Lalor and Mernda.
Zoom out, and the picture holds: Crime Statistics Agency Victoria logged 468,711 criminal incidents across the state in the year to 31 March 2026. Set against a suburb still absorbing new estates, a growing industrial footprint along Cooper Street and a shopping centre pulling shoppers from across the north, that statewide baseline is the floor, not the ceiling, for what a construction site security or retail security guards contract needs to plan for.
This isn't one kind of site repeated across the postcode. A security company here has to run four or five different playbooks at once — Pacific Epping and the High Street retail strip need loss prevention and CCTV monitoring, the Cooper Street industrial precinct needs warehouse and K9 security, Epping Station and office tenancies need concierge and gatehouse security, growth-corridor construction sites need overnight access control, and Northern Hospital and community facilities need static guards balancing public access with restricted areas.
