Education Security


Smart, Safe, and Supportive Security for Education
At FIRST Security, we understand that universities and schools are more than just places of learning — they’re vibrant communities that depend on safety, trust, and connection. Protecting these environments requires more than standard security — it takes experience, adaptability, and a people-first approach.
As New Zealand’s leading security provider, FIRST Security brings proven expertise across the education sector — from large university campuses to local schools. We understand the daily balance between maintaining safety and creating a welcoming atmosphere for students, residents, faculty, and staff.
Our approach combines:
- Specialist knowledge – Our teams are trained to navigate the unique dynamics of education environments, including open campuses, residential halls, after-hours events, and visitor management.
- Integrated solutions – We deliver complete security coverage through on-site officers, mobile patrols, access control, and advanced monitoring technology.
- Community connection – Our officers are approachable, professional, and focused on building trust, helping students and staff feel safe and supported.
- Smarter investment – With budgets under increasing pressure, we design cost-effective, tailored solutions that work smarter — not harder — to protect your people and property.
When you partner with FIRST Security, you gain more than a provider — you gain a trusted partner dedicated to safeguarding your learning community so it can thrive.
