Why Choose Business Security Guards to Protect your Property?

Business security guards provide a number of advantages to businesses of all shapes and sizes. Whether you are a small store, a mid-size office, a warehouse, a parking facility, a condominium, a large corporation or any other type of business, there is a business security guard service that can keep your company, your property, your clients and your staff safe.

When many people think of business security guards, they immediately think of a guard standing or sitting at the entrance of a location, monitoring the scene from a stationary location. However, that is just one type of business security guard.

Stationary guards are a great choice in a wide variety of different situations. They are especially valuable at guarding a smaller area or specific object or portion of a location. You usually see these guards in smaller stores, clubs, restaurants and other locations where a constant, visible security presence is required. Hiring a static guard in addition to your existing security surveillance system is an excellent idea. A guard can react instantly to any situation and immediately work to protect your property.

Other Types of Business Security Guards

There are a number of other types of business security guards. Each type of guards has different advantages that make them more appropriate for one type of work or another. For example, concierge security is excellent for condominiums, apartments, high-rises and office buildings. These guards work from a command area that is frequently located in the lobby of a building. Not only can these guards protect your property, but they also work to assist residents, employees and visitors. Concierge security guards can even accept packages on behalf of individiuals in the building. This greatly increases both security and convenience. These security guards work to restrict access to the building when necessary but they can also make rounds throughout the building, monitor surveillance cameras and perform a wide variety of other duties as well.

Mobile patrols are another type of business security guard that can come in handy in a variety of different situations. These guards work best in larger areas where there are multiple locations that could be susceptible to break-ins, theft, property damage and other criminals situations. Mobile patrol security guards are able to cover a large area and inspect both inside and outside of your business for increased security. As they are on the ground and on-site, these guards can quickly and easily react to changing situations as they develop. Once again, these business security guards are a great complement to your current security system.

Business Security Guards and your Business Security System

Security guards work in conjunction with the security system that may already be in place in your business. Whether you have an alarm system, surveillance cameras, bars and gates or another form of security, a business security guard will be able to strengthen and improve security on-site. Not only is the presence of a uniformed security guard a crime deterrent, but guards are able to react much more quickly than any other security tool. When guards work in conjunction with an existing business security plan, you are providing your company with the best in business security.

The Value of Security Guards

There is nothing that replaces the physical presence of an on-site security guard. While other forms of security technology are certainly vital to a security system, the incredible value of security guards cannot be overlooked. The first point of value in a security guard is that they act as a visible crime deterrent. Criminals can easily spot a uniformed security guard on-site and they understand that the guard can see them as well. This immediately keeps a property more safe than one that does not have security guards present. Mobile security guards can also keep criminals away from your location. They will monitor your site from a clearly-marked vehicle in order to check out the situation and to let the world know that your property is protected. 

But this isn't the only value in security guards. They offer a wide variety of different skills and talents that make them an incredibly important part of your security protection system.

Trained Security Guards offer many Advantages

Security guards are on-site so they are able to get a closer, more intimate look at their surroundings. While security cameras can also keep watch over your property, there is simply no replacement for actual security guards on the scene. Even if you use your security guard team to monitor your surveillance cameras, the additional advantage of a security guard is that he or she is able to move freely around your property in order to investigate any situations that may arise. Even stationary guards who remain in one location at all times are able to get 360 degree views of all situations. Security guards are also able to notice possible situations immediately and to pull up additional information, contact dispatch or any company officers for further details, request resources and adapt to a changing situation as soon as possible.

Security guards perform a wide variety of different functions. This skill is by far the number one advantage of having security guards on-site. They are adaptable and functional in a wide variety of different situations.

Security Guard Teams Complement your Security Services

Security guard teams can react in real time to whatever is going on around them. This is crucial for security. A security guard or security guard team can complete the security system at your home or office by using the alarm systems, bars and gates, surveillance cameras and other pieces of security technology to offer additional protection.

Whether you are holding a concert, a dance or a wedding, event security is an issue that you will have to address. Our team of security guards offer the very best in trained, efficient and professional event security. Whenever there are large groups of people getting together it is a good idea to hire event security to maintain order and protect guests and valuables. Many event venues require the booking of event security in coordination with the booking of the event space. If you are planning on holding a special event let us help draw up your event security plan.

Your event security needs can vary substantially depending on the type of event you are holding, the expected attendance, the size of the venue and the level of security you wish to maintain. Through a detailed consultation with our event security experts we can help design an event security plan that is good for you. If you are holding a corporate event or wedding where the majority of guests are familiar to you we can deploy an event security team made up of a few low-profile individuals dressed in blazers and dress pants. These guards will blend into the crowd and ensure that no unwanted guests arrive and that no property is tampered with. These security guards are often hired to meet the requirements of an event space.

If you are holding a large scale event such as a concert or sporting event chances are

you will have a  need for event security. When holding events where a large number of patrons are paying to attend it is vital to provide sufficient security to keep the audience safe. Many concert promoters or event planners hire our event security personnel to maintain order at their events. This need is dramatically increased when these events serve alcohol. When events serve alcohol the chance for security issues increases and event security is needed to escort overly intoxicated patrons off the premises. Our event security will also intervene in any physical altercations that may occur and call the necessary authorities if need be. Our event security staff who work in this capacity are often very high-profile and dress in police tactile style uniforms as a means to deter any security issues from arising.

Our event security staff can be hired for a variety of events including:

• Weddings
• Corporate Events
• Dances
• Sports Events
• Speeches
• Concerts
• Plays
• Fundraisers
• Plus Many More

In addition to mobile security guards one of the many security options we feature is Static Guards. While our mobile security teams are trained and equip to maintain patrols and guard large areas, our static guards stay put in one particular place to maintain security over a smaller area or guard a specific item that is fixed in one location. The static guards we employ are used in countless private and commercial enterprises to maintain a constant level of security. Our guards become closely acquainted with the property and people associated with their station and often monitor alarms and closed-circuit TV cameras.

Residential Use

Many large condominiums and apartment buildings employ our static guards as their primary means of security. By placing a static guard at the entrance to a building the owners can effectively monitor who comes in and out of the location. Our trained and professional guards are successful because they make every effort to familiarize themselves with the tenants of the building.  This form of access control is a fantastic way to provide security and peace of mind.

Commercial use

While we do deploy some of our staff to resiidential entities our static guards are more widely used in the commercial setting. Many stores or businesses hire our static security guards to maintain a visible presence at the entry way to their store. The presence of a marked security is a large deterrent for crime.

A static guard may work in a team with one of our mobile guards who maintains a patrol around a certain area while the static guard remains to block the entry and exit of any would be criminal. A static guard could also maintain watch over security camera feeds. Hiring a static guard to work in tandem with your security surveillance system is an excellent way to prevent crime from happening since it allows the guard to react to it instantly. Simply having a security camera only allows you to react to the crime after it has occurred.

Emergency Response Services

SafeTech Alarm Systems offers emergency response services in order to provide our clients with superior protection.

In the case of a fire alarm, the fire department is notified. Should a break-in be detected, you may have either your local police department respond or a private guard company respond. These are emergency response services. Depending in what region you live in, police often have a registration fee and a false alarm charge. Therefore, you may contact your local police,or SafeTech Alarms for the rates in your area.

The Way to Have the Emergency Response Services

For a low monthly fee, you may choose to be registered with a private guard service rather than using the police for emergency response. In busy metropolitan areas, like Toronto, this may be a good choice. Most private guard service companies offer four free alarm dispatches per year where as the Toronto Police charge $80.00 per false alarm dispatch. In the case of Security Guards, all security officers are properly trained and fully equipped to handle any situation and knowledgeable at emergency response techniques.

Once the police or guards arrive, they will conduct a perimeter check of your premises, looking for any visible signs of forced entry. If a break-in has occurred, the police or guards will notify the station, who will report their findings to you.

Emergency Response and Private Security Guards:

SafeTech Alarm Systems' private guard division can have an on-site security guard posted at your home, place of business or special event. This is perfect for emergency response services, for protecting your property from theives or other criminals or for maintaining order.

Our paid duty officers have been used in a variety of ways to ensure the security of our clients and their property. Some examples include:

• Securing family and guests at weddings.
• Securing crowd control at concerts.
• Keeping the peace on a picket line.
• Watching over a construction project.
• Securing entire buildings and parking lots and even chaperoning individuals
  to and from a special event.

There is no better substitute for the physical presence of a security guard.
