The Importance of Armed Security Officers

Why Hire Armed Security Officers?

You may feel like you've done enough to guarantee the safety of your business and its employees, but unless you have an armed security guard on staff, there's always the risk of being targeted by criminal elements, possibly by those with violent intentions. With public mass shootings in the news every week, and with robberies and homicides occurring on a daily basis across this state, there can be little doubt of the need for professional security services. Don't get conned by those who are only peddling a sense of being protected instead of real protection.

Won't Standard Security Systems Be Enough?

Many large security companies offer several means of securing your business, primarily through the use of cameras, display signage to deter impulse crimes, motion-sensor equipped alarm systems, and remote monitoring. Cameras, while useful for prosecution and as a deterrent to impulse thefts, will do little to discourage professional criminals or those for whom consequences carry little weight. The same can be true of any prominently displayed signs alerting those on the premises about the presence of an alarm system or security camera monitoring. Truthfully, most alarm systems will do little to prevent crime; while possibly useful for alerting local authorities to a crime in progress, by the time an alarm system is triggered, it's already too late to prevent your business from becoming another crime statistic. Remote monitoring of cameras, doors, or other sensors has the same drawback. By the time it's useful, you are already the victim of a crime or attempted crime.

How Do Armed Security Guards Helps?

The open employment of armed security guards is the only way to truly deter real criminals. The presence of a trained, highly skilled security officer at your business will help keep all but the most fixated of criminal elements from considering you or your business an easy target.
