Looking up from your task to see a weapon pointed at you by an intruder is certainly a horror any businessperson hopes will never materialize, yet so many potential dangers are increasingly commonplace in today’s world. Armed and masked thieves discreetly approaching payment registers, gangs of hooded looters simultaneously storming into a store and pillaging valuable products, even the seemingly innocuous larceny so easily committed in the chaos of now mostly masked crowds are all variations of prevalent crimes that can manifest in a living nightmare. Recent pandemic influences are only accelerating this trend as they increase poverty, mental instability, substance abuse, and many other motivating factors behind criminal acts, as well as broadening opportunities for theft, vandalism, and mayhem.

These expanding dangers necessitate a strong defense and a proactive approach to handling potential perils. The phrase “the best defense is a good offense“ truly does apply here, as the anticipation of various specific threats and correlated preventative measures can be the difference between a crime committed with lethal aftermath, and a crime averted. Studies demonstrate that the occurrence of many different crimes is reduced by a significant percentage when visible security guards are utilized properly. This research also shows that guard presence increases the detection and arrest of criminals by the police, helping to keep likely offenders off the streets. A consideration of established tactics will show clear and obvious points of risk, such as the primary entrance and payment registers, and the associated strategies for defending them effectively.

A prominent component of excellent protective service is comprehensively analyzing the form and function of any business and the related security needs, and then developing a suitable plan to be executed using the best available tools, resources, and protocols. The right security firm is one that will not haphazardly send uniformed bodies to an address, but instead will actively participate with a client in the research and development of the proper protection plan, ensuring the highest possible chance for success and client satisfaction.
