Security guards both on foot or in a marked vehicle, is the most effective way to keep your customers, employees, tenants, and communities safe. It is also a great way to show just how much you appreciate them.
Benefits of Residential Security Patrol
Having employees, patrons, and tenants walking into the parking lot, especially after the sun has gone down, knowing they are secure and someone is watching out for their safety, is priceless.
Safe communities are always in high demand and have a hire property value. Would be criminals and trespassers think twice about striking a business or neighborhood with a security guard. Unlike video surveillance, a guard, whether on foot or in a marked car, is not only a deterrent, they can take immediate action.
Most criminals have mastered the art of technology and know several ways to outsmart video cameras.
In this day and age, customers and employees want to know management cares. Unfortunately, workplace violence can strike just about anywhere, and your employees know that. Having an armed or unarmed security guard discourages something from happening or quick response if there is an altercation. It shows management authentically cares about their employees, which pays off down the road.
Every business wants loyal customers. Whether it is for a medical complex, apartment building, or shopping plaza, the first step to repeat business, great word of mouth, and high reviews, is comfort and security.
Better customer service is another reason to hire a security guard. They can serve as an ambassador, showing guest where they need to go or escorting them to their car. Interacting with visitors and making them feel safe, isn’t something a surveillance camera can accomplish.
It’s the law. Some management companies and apartment complexes are required by law to take security precautions to keep guests and residents from any foreseeable harm and deter criminal activity.
“The landlord has a duty to exercise ordinary care to prevent foreseeable third party criminal attacks on tenants. If a landlord has knowledge of unsafe conditions and does not repair, the landlord may be liable if someone is injured as a result of the danger.” according to the State of Georgia Community Affairs.
All businesses and communities need a comprehensive security plan in place. If you’re in Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, contact Curtis Security to get started.
