There is a difference between being able to focus on the core business and having to deal with security issues all of the time when you hire the right security company. Security companies that provide quality service will have the necessary general liability and workers compensation insurance coverage, a proven model of supervision, state of the art electronic equipment to monitor their guards, and executives who can develop and implement a security plan, customize post orders, and train their security officers.
With regard to my experience in security consultation, I have worked with wholesale businesses going bankrupt and those that have been extremely profitable after hiring the right security company. Employee theft in the company was so rampant that the company, despite everything in the business model including the revenue and profits, was losing money because of the employee theft. It was just a matter of time before the right procedures were instituted and the company was earning profits almost instantly after hiring a new security company.
If a company has the mandatory insurance coverage required by law, it is easy to determine if it is insured. Clients or their representatives should review insurance certificates for additional insured before hiring a company. In order to be as thorough as possible, our clients should verify that the policies that the security company has are in effect by contacting the security company’s insurance broker. It is also possible to request that the broker notify them when the policy lapses or is cancelled so that they can plan accordingly. A number of companies that provide security services might purchase insurance, but then cancel it after obtaining a contract with the client.
Being able to supervise and hold security officers accountable for the job they are doing is the key to onsite security. Without effective supervision, only a few security guards will be able to perform their duties well. There is a proven model of supervisory practice which will incorporate both electronic monitoring of the site and onsite supervision by field supervisors. As part of the electronic equipment, the security officer also has the detex system, which generates a report indicating where and when s/he patrolled during his shift.
Clients are then able to feel secure, knowing that their guard is present and patrolling the building at all times. During daily shift rotations from a supervisor, the officer will be randomly inspected to ensure that their alertness, well grooming, professionalism and compliance with the post order is not compromised. about the task in front of him and allows the supervisor to facilitate further training for the guards.or the opportunity to provide continuing on the job training.
Security consultants serve as a liaison between a security provider and a client and are the face of a security company. In order for a customer to hire a security company, they should meet with their consultant first. Upon appointing that representative, the client will be provided with a security plan, written policies and procedures, and supervision and training of security guards.
The hiring business should know that the security consultant is experienced, possesses the necessary communication skills, and also has a deep understanding of the challenges facing the hiring business at the present time. A business manager who follows all the steps and understands them will be able to take the right decision on the first try. Investing carefully will make the difference between buying additional problems for good money and investing money that will provide peace of mind.
