Security Guards Orange County - Does Size Really Matter?

By Linda Edwards


Are you are looking to set up your safety firm? You have not thought about the types of safety guards you need for your business, but you have seen the media representation of safety officers and safety officers. There are several things to consider when selecting security guards Orange County for your business. This article highlights some pertinent considerations to keep in mind when finding a reliable defense company.

The most common hindrances in service delivery in this field include low pay, poor training availability, no benefits, the prevalence of unlicensed protection company, lack of regulation enforcement, high turn-over, company requirement to use personal vehicles on the job, layoffs, lack of cooperation with local police, high crime, and a host of other problems. Despite these challenges, many people find a good career in protection.

Screen Your Guards Qualifications; in many states, officers are mandated to have a specified amount of training before they can begin working as defense officers. If your state is one of these states, ensure that your defense guard company is compliant. If you are in a state with no state requirements for guard certification, ensure to investigate the kind of training that is being offered by your defense firm, consider it seems adequate.

It is always hard to find a good protection guard. There are several factors that make it difficult to find a good officer for your project, event or building. There are many competent and professional guards in the industry, but there is little oversight for officers who choose to overlook their duties. The job of a protection guard is lonely and often they operate alone and without backup. In the end, they have only their ethics and work ethics to guide them.

Get more training in your profession, job interests and seek management training if available from any source possible. Training creates professionalism and opportunity for a guard. Be a good communicator. Share information with clients and ask to help when possible. People look to professional safety officers for support and appreciate clear communication skills.

Using the same analogy of the office block, 'the public' are the people who do not necessarily work in that building, but they come to visit or use the facilities in some way. Again, your safety guard needs to be able to command respect, while respecting others and communicate, both verbally and non-verbally the protocol of your client.

Depending on the structure of your contract, on-site supervisors may not be included. In case your contract doesn't require on-site management, how does your security firm remotely supervise its officers? Outside of the typical spot checks by the company's field supervisor, the two approaches of remote supervision that are most successful are: Officer Check-Ins and Officer Tour Tracking Systems.

In summary, in the argument over brawn vs. Brain, the brain will win every time. By using your brain when starting out your business, you can ensure you think about; what their needs are, who your customers are and what type of safety guard is going to fulfill those needs and select the most appropriate trained and licensed guard - irrespective of size.
