7 Types of Security Worth Investing In
Safety first
If you have any security worries for either yourself, your property, your business or an event, then here is a list of seven types of security that may be worth looking into.
We may not need it all the time, but extra security can be a weight off our minds. This could be for times such as for your company in the evening, personal safety or your home when you're away. A security officer can make a big difference to your level of stress and allow you to relax.
1. Static Guards
A static guard can work for both Private & Public Sectors and provide an immediately identifiable presence. This role includes patrolling, ensuring public safety and proactively dealing with any incidents that may have occurred. This could be day shifts or night shifts on site.
2. Concierge Duties
A concierge officer is usually based at the reception area and performs the duties of a receptionist as well as acting as a deterrent in the role of a security officer. This is a great option to make clients, employees, etc. feel safe by having security in the building at all times. An additional benefit of a concierge officer is the cost saving of only having to pay one person to do a security job and receptionist job rather than two.
3. Key Holding and Alarm Activations
This role enables the security company to look after the property's keys which helps to minimise the risk of them being lost. Also to protect anyone closing up late from potentially being hurt by intruders. The alarm responsive officers will respond to any situation when the alarm is raised saving you from doing this and potentially putting yourself in danger.
4. Mobile Patrols
A mobile patrol service consists of mobile security supervisors patrolling 24/7 in branded patrol cars. These vehicles are equipped with the latest technology so that we can provide an immediate response to any incident. These security officers hold a SIA licence and work shifts around the clock depending on when they are needed.
5. Stewarding
The role of Stewarding means being the security presence at concerts, festivals, shows and events. This entails making sure the general public are safe and the event runs smoothly. The security stewards are flexible workers with a positive and approachable attitude.
6. Close Protection
A close protection service is needed when there is a clear and present threat to clients, a family member or an employee. The service also ensures that the client feels safe when out in public or traveling, keeping them safe from any potentially dangerous situations. These close protection officers are well trained, always prepared and disciplined.
