Choosing The Right Security

Guards

As a security agency, we cannot stress enough the importance

of having the right kind of security guard to secure your

property: whether it is a commercial building, a

sprawling estate, or your own home. Having a physical

presence that monitors the property acts as an effective deterrent against any kind of

security threat.

Choosing the right security guard

When a client calls us, most of them ask for security that

looks the part rather than a guard who would be best

suited for the job. The very first step in selecting the ideal security personnel is to match the skill sets of that guard to your specific requirements.

Monitoring a home requires a different set of abilities as compared to securing a

commercial property.Identifying skill sets

After we have noted the requirements of our client, the next step is identifying the right personnel. This is

how we do it.

Core competenciesWe match the core

competencies of the personnel to the security needs of the client. If a

guard has excellent surveillance and detection capabilities, then they are

selected for securing a large complex.

On the other hand, if someone can manage

crowds and logistics better, they are selected for

providing security at events.Thinking on their feet

Mental agility is one of the most important

characteristics of a security guard.

All personnel are trained in detecting and diffusing high-risk situations, but a guard

who can adapt their measures deals with the situation in faster, more

efficient manner. Security personnel must know when to stick by standard procedures and when to change tactics.

This helps the guard to provide maximum protection to the

client.Talk the walk

Verbal skills are a highly important aspect of security services. A security guard

should posses the necessary verbal skills to communicate with their clients, their team members, and with people

around them.

These skills are especially important for guards

working in verticals where they have to interact with

the public – such as VIP security, private parties, and mall security. Verbal

skills can also help a guard mitigate a rising situation, especially in public places.

Get the bestThe right security guard does

not have to think about training or protocols when they deal with a situation.

They simply react to a security threat, and guided by their core skill sets, they provide

the right response to a critical situation.
