About Us

Founded by a former police officer, Vanguard Response Group was created after recognising that private individuals, landowners and organisations sometimes need specialist, practical support outside the scope or immediate priorities of public services. Our purpose is simple: to provide calm, capable and discreet support—helping clients identify risks early, prepare effectively and respond with confidence.

Our consultants are former police officers or military personnel, bringing practical experience in risk assessment, incident response, operational planning and security. We support clients across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex through search support, drone and thermal services, and independent security consultancy.

Every assignment begins with a careful assessment. We establish the objective, consider the risks and permissions, and deliver clear, proportionate support with discretion and professional care. Vanguard complements—and does not replace—the work of the emergency services.
