What types of businesses will need updated security in 2020? Serious threats and crime are expected to increase in the New Year. It is more important than ever to protect your guests, employees, property, and inventory.
These Special Security Needs Will Affect Many Businesses, But The Top Three Include:
Hospital and Medical Environments
Medical communities have very unique security challenges. Constantly filled with both patients and medical providers, combined with people who tend to be emotional and stressed.
A quick response from a highly trained security guard can make all the difference and prevent a tragedy from happening.
Another growing concern is the contents inside medical facilities and hospitals. Drugs and prescription medications are prime for stealing.
While hospitals tend to have security measures in place, such as color codes to announce the different type of situations, implementing tougher stringent is necessary. Especially areas such as pharmacies, infant rooms and storage areas.
This is why so many hospital settings are hiring security guards to monitor public areas and entry points, reduce potential acts of violence or threats, and mitigate any incidents.
Security guards also provide valuable customer service and make a great impression. A uniformed officer greeting guests, able to give directions, escort visitors and answer any questions.
Security guards can also promote a sense of well being. In our troubling times, guests and employees can feel more at ease and comfortable. Peace of mind they are in a safe place.
Commercial Parking Lots
Parking lots have become a host of security issues. Full of people and vehicles, during operating hours. Anything can happen, from violent altercations, theft, shootings, and robberies. Even after hours, illicit transactions, burglary, and car theft, often take place.
The larger the parking lot, the more difficult it can be to monitor with just security cameras. The problem can be compounded when the sun goes down, with insufficient lighting, obstructions, and multiple levels.
The physical presence of security guards can easily address these concerns and more. Actively patrolling the parking lot during the day to prevent any mischief and criminal activity and at night to deter any illegal activity.
