David Pattinson

Managing Director

Dave started his working life in the NHS, 1983-1988 then wanted to work in security as a doorman in 1985 and is still currently working the doors, as it’s a passion to Dave.

From 1990 to 2000 he worked for and managed security officers for very large corporate companies. From then he set up and managed a pilot scheme in Blackpool street wardens for the local authority for eight years, moving on to training and development.

In 2005 he put his passion for training and development of people into action and set up his own company Tactical Training Services Limited. The company was set up to provide training in personal safety to various sectors, and to provide specialist training in the recognition and management of aggressive or violent behaviour, designed to improve the safety of individuals through bespoke training and development.

Based in Lancaster, Tactical has expanded considerably and provides a comprehensive list of training services across the North West in personal safety and security awareness, personal protection training.

In addition to this David also founded and developed a voluntary non profit organisation called Tactical Street Angels in 2012, which patrol the streets of Lancaster and surrounding areas feeding and supporting the homeless and less fortunate in his area, covering seven days a week operation.

The security section of Tactical, Tactical Security Options Ltd was formed in 2015, to provide professionally trained private security operatives, in the North West. They cover all of the following sectors: Manned guarding, security officers, static guards, retail protection and loss prevention officers, customer service meeting and greeting staff, reception and concierge, stewards, event safety officers, fire wardens, first aiders, spotters, door supervisors, response teams, extraction teams, close protection officers, residential security, street patrols, mobile and alarm response officers, boarding up services and house or business protection services.

David has also worked in and out of the UK working in the close protection sector since 1990, and is still currently actively working in this area.
