Security Guard Services
Security guards are instrumental to risk management for many businesses and organizations. Generally, they provide a visual deterrent to unauthorized activities and are often the first to discover or verify irregularities, damage, or emergencies that can jeopardize assets or increase liabilities. In 1972, a vigilant security guard at the Watergate office building, Frank Wills discovered a taped door lock leading to five arrests that revealed the Watergate scandal.
Security functions can include access control, fixed and random patrols, policy enforcement, directing pedestrian or vehicular traffic, monitoring CCTV installations, responding to alarms, escorting patrons and employees, mitigating hazards, opening or securing facilities, and incident management. Often, security guards are ambassadors, warmly greeting and assisting guests, while inspiring confidence in safety and well-being. Good security teams are well-integrated and critical to the daily operations of many clients.
