Metro Guards provides security services in Ringwood, from static security guards to mobile patrol security, alarm response and concierge, for offices, retail and construction sites across Melbourne's eastern suburbs.
Every officer is licensed by the Licensing & Regulation Division (LRD), Victoria Police, and we hold ISO certification, CM3 certification and ASIAL Gold Member status, backed by 17+ years working the Maroondah corridor.
Why Ringwood Needs Professional Security Services
Maroondah recorded 9,027 offences in the year to 2025, a rate of 7,847 per 100,000 residents, up 13% on five years earlier, according to the Crime Statistics Agency Victoria. Property and deception offences dominate the local count, with 5,179 offences reported across the municipality in 2025.
That local trend sits inside a wider state pattern. Property and deception offences across Victoria rose 3.9% in the year to December 2025, driven largely by theft from motor vehicles, which increased by more than 7,000 incidents statewide, per data.vic.gov.au's crime data release.
For a suburb built around a single mega-retail precinct, that changes the risk assessment for local businesses. A security company needs to cover a fourth-largest-in-Australia shopping centre, a train station interchange, a run of commercial towers, and residential streets stretching out to Ringwood East, Heathmont and Croydon, all on different risk profiles and different clocks. Static security guards built for a Bourke Street-style retail strip don't map onto a precinct built around one enormous shopping centre and a station forecourt, which is why security services in Ringwood need to be planned site by site rather than sold off a generic template.
