It seems that more and more people respond with violence when they take offense or feel they are being wronged, even protesters protesting the violent acts on each other turn to violence to be heard. We live in a day where people are feeling unsafe doing even the simplest of day-to-day living or worried that a harmless will be turned into a racist or stereotypical statement, painting a target on your back. Businesses are especially worried about acts violence erupting during in the workplace, hosted events, or other related instances. Having a security firm where you can hire daily security personnel or even just as you feel you need it is an ideal solution to keep things from getting out of hand. Today, we at Advanced Private Investigators and Security would like to offer a few situations where if you don’t have security daily, you should consider having security personnel on site during these circumstances.
Reasons to Private Security Guards
1) Dealing with unstable employees. In studies performed by OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, it has been reported that close to two million workers a year have been victims of workplace violence. Once you learn that an employee has had violent episodes because of personal or work related discord, having private security to stabilize the situation temporarily may be the answer. In many cases, the average response for law enforcement to arrive on the scene takes 15 minutes. If you know you have an unstable employee, private security might be the optimal solution.
2) Unexplained revenue or product shortages. Pilfering and embezzlement is common enough that business owners should consider their employees motives, loyalty, and integrity. Generally, the more common shortages are staplers, paperclips, pens, or other items that would be insignificant and it may even go unnoticed if only or few people are doing it. Workplace pilferage and embezzlement however, can profoundly impact small businesses. It may be in your better interest to hire a private security guard to investigate and watch for unusual behaviors among the staff if you notice sudden large-scale shortages occurring.
3) Planning a high-profile event. Planning an event where high profile guests or even high valued items are present, tighter security then the normal is essential for the safety and success of the event. Even if you have security, getting additional security for the event is well worth the investment prior, during, and after the event. Screening guests and event service staff members is enough to need the extra hand. Extra eyes working the floor and behind the scene is also a valuable asset when planning such an event.
