01 Nov Private Security Benefits For Your Business
Security in your business has quickly become a non-negotiable necessity for most business owners. Whether the goods that you need protected are physical or intangible cyber goods, it’s important for the wellbeing of your business for them to be protected at all times. Some companies attempt to hire their own security guards, whether that’s by using individuals that they already employ to work temporarily as security guards, or by seeking out freelance guards.
Why you should go with a private security firm
While it may seem initially easy to find and hire a security guard, you’ll easily realize that a lot more goes into this venture than you originally anticipated. You want someone who’s not only trustworthy, but someone that has gone through the necessary trainings and certifications. It’s not enough to just hire someone who claims that they can keep you and your business safe, you need to hire someone that you know is trustworthy and knows how to get the job done.
It’s less expensive
Working through a private security firm is actually going to save you money. A professional firm has already done all of the necessary vetting, background checks, and trainings necessary. So you won’t have to invest anything into these areas, so you can be confident when a security guard comes to your site.
Why your business needs private security
Many small and medium businesses have a false sense of security. They don’t feel like they’re a large enough entity to be a target. This is dangerous thinking. It’s especially small businesses that need protection, as they may seem like an easier target to potential intruders. Having private security on site will give you the peace of mind that you need, and will also deter individuals who intend to cause harm to your business.
Certification for private security guards
Almost all 50 states require their guards to be licensed. In the state of Utah, a thorough criminal background check is performed on all licensed guards. The training the guards go through is quite thorough, ensuring only the highest caliber of guards be employed by us. In addition to these qualifications to become licensed, we take great care when selecting guards to hire and send to you and your business. We won’t be able to rest comfortably until we know that you and your business are safe and secure at all times.

Posted at 16:09h, 28 AugustI know I always feel safer when I see security guards present at events, so thanks for sharing this. I like your point about how a professional firm can also save a company time and money. I can see why relying on a security firm that already has trained and screen guards would be ideal for busy companies that don’t want to train their own.
