Most people want to live in an environment where they feel safe and secure. One thing that many people look for is a community that is guarded by a gate. Even better than that, is a gated community with a guard to watch, screen and greet the guests.
There are three really great reasons for hiring a guard to man the gate at your community and Advanced Private Investigator and Security of Miami FL has outlined them below.
Keeping Track Of Visitors: One of the most frustrating parts of living with a gate and not having a guard to man it is that there is no one to account for the plethora of visitors that could be coming and going. Many homeowners may choose to give out the code to their guests who in turn give it to other friends. Before you know it, there are a lot of people that could have access. There are also people that move out and still have access to the community. And did you know that every gate has at least one master code? When you hire a guard, they are able to track any and all visitors that come into the community and make notes about each visitor and service personnel. This can come in handy when there is crime such as theft or act of vandalism that requires some help in catching the perpetrators. When someone decides on a community to terrorize, they will think twice before picking one that has a live guard watching, screening and logging all the guests that come in and out.
Being Alerted to Guests: This is a great way to keep track and grant access to who you want in and who you want out. One good thing is that if you were to throw a party, you can give a guest list to the guard who will then check each car that passes and let you know who is coming as they arrive. They can also alert you to party crashers and give you the opportunity to deny access. Being alerted when guests arrive can also be handy for someone who needs a few minutes to straighten up before someone arrives at their home. The other side of the coin is if there is someone you don’t want to let in, you can give their details to the guard who can alert you when the particular car or person is trying to come through the gate.
Being Granted Personal Access: One of the worst things is when you come home and you try and activate your clicker to open your unguarded gate to find that it is not working. You may be in a community that does not offer a code to enter and now you are stuck outside the gate parked and waiting for as long as it takes for someone else to come by and let you in. The great part about a guard is that you never have to rely on a clicker or a code. The guard over a relatively short amount of time can become familiar with tenants and regular visitors and when they normally come and go. They may recognize you and your vehicle and let you in without you even needing to slow down.
