Our Local Knowledge Enhances Your Protection
At VIS Protection, our office in Dublin provides us with unparalleled insight into the city's diverse security challenges. Our strategic partnerships with local law enforcement and security agencies enable us to anticipate and respond effectively to emerging threats. We offer tailored risk assessments based on detailed analysis of local crime trends and individual client profiles, ensuring our solutions are precisely aligned with your needs.
Dublin is home to several high-profile neighbourhoods, each with unique security considerations. For instance:
Ballsbridge: Known for its embassies and affluent residents, this area often requires heightened vigilance against burglary and property crimes.
Howth: A picturesque coastal area popular among high-net-worth individuals, where privacy and personal safety are paramount.
Dalkey: A haven for celebrities and business leaders, necessitating advanced close protection services to mitigate risks such as stalking or unwanted attention.
​​​​Recent crime statistics underscore the importance of robust security measures in Dublin. For example, theft and related offences in the Dublin Metropolitan area reached 2,522 incidents per 100,000 people in 2023—nearly double the national average.
Additionally, areas like Dublin City Centre, Pearse Street, and Tallaght have been identified as hotspots for criminal activity, including robbery and extortion. High-profile individuals, businesses, and families in these areas are particularly vulnerable to targeted crimes.
