FAQ

Welcome to our FAQ. When it comes to the security of your home, business, or person, we understand that trust is the biggest factor in knowing whom to hire. After all, who can be trusted to stay cool under duress, observant to threats, and consistently professional? In the end, experience is the best guarantee for success and at CBI Security we bring on many individuals with extensive backgrounds in military and police service for this very purpose. Our team has decades of experience using the best tools in the business to keep the property and personnel of our clients safe.

Below, you will find a few of the most commonly asked questions for those looking to hire a security firm along with answers and helpful links. If you have any questions that are not addressed here, or would like to learn more, feel free to contact us with your inquiries.

Does CBI Security provide armed security as well as unarmed security?

Our first priority is to protect you and your property while also choosing the most measured form of security for the situation. In most cases, an unarmed guard is enough to deter wrongdoing but if we assess that the risks are substantial enough, we can deploy armed security. Learn more about our practice and philosophy regarding armed security here.

Will CBI Security only respond to long-term contracts?

We recognize that not every client requires weeks-, months- or years-long protection coverage. At CBI, we are committed to being the best security option for every potential client and that includes making our services available for even short-term engagements. We can provide an officer for as little as four hours at a time. Find out more about our availability here.

How many other services does CBI Security provide apart from traditional security surveillance?

Effective security requires a holistic approach. To rely solely on traditional protective measures like CCTV surveillance or night patrol is to overlook all the tools and methods that have made security services more effective in recent years. At CBI, we leave no stone unturned and offer over a dozen different services. See a comprehensive list of our specialties here.

Does CBI Security only hire former military or will they consider anyone?

While we certainly value the experience and knowledge of men and women with backgrounds in security, we will look at the resume of any individual who meets our criteria. Regardless of work experience, all new hires will be put through rigorous training both in the field and in the classroom to ensure that they are equipped to provide the highest standard of security.

How does CBI Security support the community?

Not only does CBI feel driven to give back to the communities in which we serve, but we also believe that education is one of the best ways to help people protect themselves. To that end, CBI often sends representatives to schools, town halls, or any other type of community gathering to run seminars and pass out packets to parents and children.

Which areas does CBI Security actually service within their three-state operation?

Currently, CBI Security serves multiple counties in Utah, Arizona, and Idaho. By focusing on the most populous cities in these states we can help curb and reverse the trends of criminality in our own neighborhoods.

How does CBI Security utilize technology to do its job?

So much of security is staying abreast of constantly updating technology. As such, CBI utilizes the best technology available for both surveillance and protection. This is a topic that we explore often, both internally and in our published writing.

Can CBI Security help me know how to beef up security for my business long-term?
