Security companies can offer many services. Below is a guide to some of the ways that a security company can help your business.
Mobile Security Patrols
If your business is located on a large site, you may struggle to keep the perimeter secure. One solution to this problem is to hire a mobile security patrol. The mobile security team will use a vehicle to patrol your business property. The use of a vehicle will allow the security team to cover a larger area and to respond to security breaches with greater speed than if they were patrolling on foot. The security staff and vehicle will be clearly marked, which will act as a visual deterrent to anyone who is planning to target your business.
Cash Protection
If your business transports or stores large quantities of cash, you will need to ensure that this cargo is protected. Many attackers will target cash transport trucks. You can protect large cash shipments by hiring security personnel to protect the truck. The security staff are fully insured and licensed. In some cases, you will be able to hire armed guards who will help to deter armed robbers. If your business uses ATMs, security staff can also check these to ensure they have not been tampered with by attackers who hope to steal customers' personal details and bank number.
Alarm Monitoring
Many businesses are fitted with alarm systems. Unfortunately, while many of these alarm systems are very sophisticated and will easily detect any attack intruders make on your premises, the alarm is not always answered. Many people will hear alarm bells ring and will do nothing except hope that they are silenced soon. There is no point of investing in an advanced alarm system if no one is willing to respond to it.
A security company can offer your business an alarm monitoring service. The alarm will be connected to the security company's HQ. If the alarm is triggered, an alarm will sound in the security centre, which will alert the security guards on duty. As soon as the alarm sounds, the security guards will make their way to your business to check that everything is OK. If they find signs of an intruder, they will inform the local police.
