THERE ARE THREE THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN HIRING SECURITY GUARDS
What needs to be protected level of protection desiredWho is going to do the protecting
1) The first step is to determine what needs to be protected and what the guardâs responsibilities will include. Security guards can be posted at static locations to control entrances and check people entering and leaving the property, control crowds, give directions, accept/deliver packages, and discourage misbehavior. Patrol guards inspect the property for surveillance and to protect against fire, theft, vandalism, and illegal activity.
2) Security guards can be armed or unarmed, in uniform or plain clothes, posted on the property or as required. Surveillance can be manual and or electronic CCTV viewing distant and distributed locations. What is the level of security needed and what is the budget required for achieving that level?
3) When it comes to hiring security guards, it doesnât matter whether the guards are employed by an agency or hired directly by the end-user; interviewing is essential in order to find the right person for the position. The advantages of using a security guard service are that the company is licensed, background checks have already been made, prescribed training has been completed, and the guard can be removed easily since he works for the agency.
