About SWAT Security

SWAT Security (Swallow Alarm Technology) was founded by Mr. Geoff Gordon in 1980. The company started life working from home and was known as Alarm Technology.

In 1983 the company merged with Swallow Security Services and renamed Swallow Alarm Technology, which quickly became know as SWAT Security our bell box logo initials.

Premises were purchased in Brook Street, Selby in 1983. In 1984 the company became NSCIA. Approved (now called N.A.C.O.S.S) and has now grown into one of the leading security companies in Yorkshire and Humberside.

The NSCIA. Is known as the NSI (National Security Inspectorate) which has broadened its scope to cover approval and inspection of all aspects of the security industry. SWAT Security are proud to be NACOSS Gold approved for the installation of Security, CCTV and Access Control equipment of the highest accolade in the industry. N.A.C.O.S.S. (National Approved Council for Security Systems) is the technical division of the NSI.

Inspectors regularly inspect the company to ensure the rigorous standards for system design and installation, quality control, British Standards, maintenance of systems, minimising of false alarms, training of staff and customer. Liaison are met at all time.

In early 1997 we purchased Corunna House, an 18th Century Georgian house in Ousegate, Selby which is where our headquarters are still today.

How Much Does it Cost?

Normally a lot less than you would think! We not only carry a range of the best equipment that money can buy but also a range of “value for money” equipment for the job that really has to be done to a limited budget. The one thing we have learned over the last few years is that the most expensive is not always the best, although its quite often is. Cheaper equipment can quite often be perfectly acceptable.

Our expertise ensures that you will know exactly what you are buying and if it is “budget” that it is not rubbish and that it is good value for money. We offer a free surveying and quotation service on site.

For smaller jobs we can quite often give a quotation over the telephone. A written specification and quotation will then be dispatched for your approval.
