Sentinel Protection Sàrl has been operating in Geneva since 2001, giving it more than twenty years of experience in private security. The company is registered with the Commercial Register of the Canton of Geneva.

Yes. Sentinel Protection has obtained all the necessary authorizations from the Department of Justice and Police of the Canton of Geneva to carry out private security and private investigation activities (decree of 15.02.2001). The company also carries civil liability insurance up to CHF 10,000,000 per claim.

Sentinel Protection operates mainly in Geneva and the Canton of Geneva, as well as throughout French-speaking Switzerland (notably Vaud, Fribourg and Neuchâtel) and more broadly across Switzerland depending on the nature of the assignment. The company’s offices are located in Cologny and at Place du Port, in Geneva.

Sentinel Protection works with private individuals, figures from the entertainment, political and business worlds, as well as companies and institutions: watchmakers, jewellers, jewellery manufacturers, auction houses, museums, banks, hotels, construction sites, private residences and estates, foundations and international organizations.

Sentinel Protection and Sentinel Security Systems are part of the same group (Sentinel Groupe). Sentinel Protection provides human security services (agents, bodyguards, guarding, intervention). Its sister company, Sentinel Security Systems, designs and installs technical security equipment: video surveillance, alarms, access control, fire safety systems. The two companies complement each other to offer comprehensive protection, both human and technological.

Close protection involves calling on one or more experienced bodyguards to ensure the physical safety of a person or their family, during their travels, in public places, at their workplace or at home. Sentinel Protection offers armed or unarmed agents depending on requirements, for ongoing or occasional assignments, in Geneva and throughout Switzerland.

This service is aimed in particular at business leaders, celebrities, political figures or anyone exposed who wants discreet, tailor-made protection.

Yes. Sentinel Protection offers a close protection service specifically dedicated to children, intended for exposed families or those considered public figures. Agents are trained to adapt to children and teenagers and are made aware of managing the emotional impact that close protection can have, in order to preserve family balance.

An alarm response service involves sending an agent on site as soon as an alarm is triggered, in coordination with a remote monitoring station, to verify the cause of the alert and intervene in the event of an actual break-in. Sentinel Protection provides this service for all types of sites in Geneva and Switzerland, in coordination with its subsidiary Sentinel Security Systems for the installation of alarm systems.

Sentinel Protection offers nine main families of surveillance services: construction site surveillance, parking surveillance, house-sitting during holidays, event security, security for sensitive sites, site guarding, permanent surveillance, patrol surveillance and bailiff/building caretaker services. Each service can be combined and adapted according to the profile of the site to be protected.

Sentinel Protection secures construction sites against theft, vandalism and intrusion through pedestrian or motorized patrols, available 24/7, at every stage of the project. The service includes a security audit of the site, access control for authorized people and vehicles, and verification that workplace safety standards are properly applied. Construction site video surveillance can be added through the subsidiary Sentinel Security Systems.

Yes. Sentinel Protection provides agents for the surveillance of private car parks in Geneva: access control and coordination, night patrols, traffic regulation during events, collection of parking fees and information for users. This service is particularly useful during events generating a significant influx of vehicles.

While owners are away, Sentinel Protection watches over the home through night patrols, daily access checks and simulated occupancy (opening/closing shutters). The company also offers house management services: watering plants, collecting mail, caring for pets and checking installations (heating, refrigerators).

Event security covers all the services required to ensure the smooth running of a public or private event: receptions, concerts, exhibitions, private views, weddings, trade fairs or sporting events. Sentinel Protection’s agents control access, manage ticketing, oversee VIPs, anticipate crowd movements and provide close protection if necessary, taking into account Geneva legislation on event organization.

This involves protecting sites of high value or particular risk: watchmakers, jewellers, jewellery manufacturers, auction houses, museums and banks. Sentinel Protection deploys a deterrent presence there, close protection of people on site, and agents trained in both mediation and rapid intervention in the event of an incident.

Guarding consists of site surveillance 365 days a year, 24/7, on foot or by vehicle, for residences, businesses, banks, hotels or construction sites. Sentinel Protection also manages the opening and closing of premises, badge-based access control, operation of an emergency call centre and first aid in the event of a risky situation.

Permanent surveillance is a continuous protection system, 24/7, suited to businesses, banks or construction sites that want to fully outsource the security of their premises and staff. It includes management of access and keys, installation of alarms and video surveillance, control patrols and a prior security audit to define the most suitable arrangement.

Patrol surveillance consists of regular or random rounds by security agents, at fixed or variable times, to check the opening and closing of sites, verify sensitive access points (doors, windows, lighting, stock) and detect any anomaly. This service, available 24/7, has a strong deterrent effect against theft, break-ins or vandalism.

The bailiff (or building caretaker) service involves entrusting a security agent with the reception, screening and access control of an establishment: staffing the lodge, reception, switchboard, handling parcels and deliveries, and accompanying visitors. It can be provided day or night, 7 days a week, on an occasional or permanent basis.

A security audit identifies gaps and weaknesses in the protection of a business, residence or event, in terms of people, logistics and technology, and then proposes suitable measures. Sentinel Protection carries out various types of audits: comprehensive audits, fire safety audits, malicious-intent audits and physical security audits, in ongoing consultation with the client.

Yes. Sentinel Protection organizes tailor-made training for the in-house security and protection teams of its clients in Geneva and Switzerland: up-to-date knowledge, introduction to new techniques and technologies, practical simulations, behaviours to adopt in an emergency, theft prevention and managing difficult clients.

Valuables and cash transport involves securely and discreetly moving banknotes, coins, jewellery, works of art, sensitive documents or collections, within Switzerland or internationally, “door to door”. Sentinel Protection provides this service 7 days a week with discreet, trained and armed plain-clothes agents, notably on behalf of watchmakers, jewellers, banks and museums.

Yes. Sentinel Protection provides chauffeur-driven limousines and escort vehicles in Geneva and throughout Switzerland, for private or official travel, VIP airport transfers, or trips to hotels, train stations and business meetings. Chauffeurs are trained in defensive driving and can also provide close protection for the client.

Valet parking service (or private valet) provides secure handling of guests’ or clients’ vehicles during public or private events in Geneva. Agents specifically trained for this service park vehicles in a secure car park and return them at the client’s convenience.
