A planning estimate built from published density rules of thumb, not a security assessment. The firm number comes off a site survey that weighs sightlines, incident history, asset value and local licensing.

How to use it

  1. Enter your site's floor area and the busiest number of people on site at once.
  2. Add how many entrances must be staffed and your daily coverage window.
  3. Pick a risk level — it tightens the area and crowd ratios the estimate uses.
  4. Read the recommended guards on post, plus the officers needed to staff the rota.
