Businesses of all types receive threats, some seen, some not. Security guards protect the assets of the business, VIP’s, the employees, residents of a community or apartment complex, even sensitive security information. It just takes one threat to not only impact your bottom line, but influence customers and tenants. What type of threats is your business facing?
Theft
Most businesses face theft of some kind. It’s a crime that can go undetected without proper security measures. Theft adds up quickly, costing U.S. retailers almost $50 billion annually. Whether it is theft by an employee, shoplifting, or identify theft, it’s a businesses worst enemy. The presence of a security guard can stop this type of threat before it even happens.
For instance, a security guard at the entrance of a business will make criminals move on to an easier target. Research shows, the presence of a security guard significantly cut down on retail and employee theft. Would be criminals reconsider when if they think the chances of them getting caught is higher.
Construction Sites and Vandalism
Construction sites means big business for criminals. You’re in the middle of a big project and overnight, your set back weeks because criminals decided to stop by during the night. Not to mention the financial loss. Or it could be a vandalism problem, whether it’s broken windows or deliberate destruction, it makes tenants and customers feel uneasy. Security guards can be hired just for the overnight hours to combat theft and vandalism.
Loitering
We’ve all seen people just hanging out, they don’t seem to have an obvious purpose. It makes people feel unsafe, which makes them a threat. Whether they are casing the parking lot for unlocked cars or choosing the time to make their move, a security guard will easily take care of this problem.
