Benefits of Hiring Security
If you are concerned about your property safety, hiring professionally trained and licensed security officers is critical. They can help you prevent numerous security risks; such as crimes, thefts, vandalism, and trespassers, to name a few. From deterring crime, to increasing surveillance, and maintaining order, here are some of the benefits of hiring security officers for your property.

A security officer’s presence deters criminal behavior
Professional security officers protect your facility by reducing risks including assaults, vandalism, violent crimes, and thefts. The presence of unarmed and armed officers that are trained to detect illicit activity and stop criminals before they can even make their first move will discourage them from targeting your business. Stopping crime before it happens not only promotes the dedication of safety of your business to clients and employees; but, reduces the loss of property or reputation as well as financial damages possibly incurred.

A security officer provides a sense of safety and security
Having trained and licensed professional security officers present in a business or location provides safety and security to the employees, clients, homeowners, residents, and business owners. Security officers work to protect clients from theft, property damage, vandalism, trespassers, intruders, and other threats to their safety and well-being.
The simple presence of a security officer can help to discourage unruly behavior from employees, customers, or residents. If a dangerous situation arises, security officers will respond immediately and maintain control until the police arrive.

Security officers maintain order
A security officer’s primary duty is to control conduct violations and enforce guidelines and regulations on the premises. They can act as a disciplinary officer to maintain order, ensuring that everyone follows the prescribed rules and regulations. Having a local security officer on the premises can minimize altercations between customers and employees or community members. Professional security officers are trained in de-escalating dangerous situations and are equipped with the tools and knowledge to directly respond to threats and challenges that may arise; and yes, contact emergency services if it is necessary.

Security officers increase surveillance
Security officers can patrol the premises, monitor activity on security cameras, operate a security gate letting people in and out of the building, and respond to alarms quickly. Some security agencies, like ours, utilize specific surveillance and management software that provides real-time updates of activity on the property to identify threats immediately or detect problems before they happen. In the event of any damage or criminal act, having live surveillance videos, images, and audio will aid criminal and insurance investigations.

A security officers on your premises can respond quickly and manage an emergency until the police arrive. In general, a police officer or emergency service may take up 20 minutes to show up in many cases; having a security officer will be that first responder and can help control the situation before it escalates. Security officers can also apprehend criminals using nonviolent de-escalation tactics and restrain criminals, if necessary, until law enforcement arrives. Security officers can be a huge help during a fire or other natural disaster, showing emergency services where to go and show people how to exit safely.
