When it comes to prevention and risk management, cutting corners should be the last thing on a business owner’s mind. It is important to implement various commercial security solutions for your business to protect it and ensure you can deliver your products and services securely, effectively, and safely. In this article, we will cover the various services available to commercial enterprises for covering all of the bases regarding security.
Security Officers
For retail, factories, condominiums, and commercial businesses, good security is non-negotiable. While it may seem that professional security is unnecessary for your team or business, security guards provide an additional layer of protection and peace of mind that not only improves the experience of customers and the satisfaction of your employees but also can boost profitability.
Security officers, or security guards as they’re commonly referred to, offer more than just protecting you, your team, and customers; they are highly professional and specially trained individuals who can secure property, possessions, stock, and people. Commercial security officers are available for short and long-term contracts, allowing flexibility. In our case, the dedicated team at Silbar Academy ensures that we train our staff to uphold our values and renowned level of professionalism.
Vehicle Patrol
A roving vehicle patrol is a cost-effective option for monitoring a large space or property. With this service, a trained patrol officer in a marked vehicle surveys your property during the specified timeframe (this can be a 24-hour patrol, overnight, or simply during working hours). Any evidence of criminal activity is recorded, and if necessary, local law enforcement is contacted. In most high-quality patrol services, the following is included and more:
- Rapid response to emergencies
- Trespassing deterrence & response
- Patrol of the entire outlined service area
- Access control – locking and unlocking services
- Maintenance reports
Event Security Staffing
Things can go wrong when people gather in venues or event grounds, and proper security should be there to keep things under control. The most important benefit is that security staff make your attendees & staff feel safe. When hiring a security team, they can go through a crisis plan with you and work out potential threats and how to manage them. There needs to be a plan, an understanding of the threat possibilities, and professionals on the scene to oversee. By doing your due diligence, you can rest assured knowing you are doing everything you can.
Armed or Unarmed Officers
When hiring security, it’s crucial to consult professionals to evaluate the threat level and the possible types of interventions that could be needed. You may think maximum protection would require armed officers to be present at your event, but this is not always the case. A professional security counsel can go through this with you, helping you evaluate potential threats and provide the proper protection you need. For example, only high-risk situations require armed officers – these are usually places with moderate to high-security risks expected or known, such as an event located in an area with a high crime rate, a building with past break-ins, and other similar situations.
Temporary/Emergency Officers
In cases with an elevated threat level for a certain period and you need security officers, temporary officers can be an excellent solution. Some businesses or commercial companies may not require 24/7 surveillance or security presence due to their advanced technology, preexisting security teams, and other reasons.
However, in times of need, it is good to know that solutions are available to you on short notice. Temporary or emergency security officers can provide a short-term service for covering nightshifts or important events/transactions. At Silbar Security, our emergency officers are available for fire watch, abrupt lockdowns, or surveillance during periods of heightened threat. If there is a lower level of risk, our temporary officers can be on call for condo complexes, shopping malls, and other businesses.
