Burglary, property destruction, and unauthorized entry are all threats to businesses. Many of them are locked up at night, making them prime targets for thieves. The presence of security personnel acts as a deterrent, increasing the possibility of a crime being halted and the culprits being apprehended. Here are 5 indicators your business needs a security guard.
Your company is in a high-crime or isolated area.
Burglars, vandals, and trespassers frequently target businesses in high-crime areas because they are easy targets. They know the cops are busy, and witnesses are less likely to call the cops while a crime is being committed. This provides them with the opportunity to make a quick buck at the expense of your company.
Armed security guards are frequently required for businesses that are isolated. Isolated enterprises, whether they are a factory in an unpopulated area of a city or a rural business, are attractive targets for thieves and vandals. Your firm is no longer an easy target when an armed security guard is on duty. It is secure, and most thieves will avoid it.
Retail Theft is costing you too much inventory.
Employee theft accounts for one-third of retail losses. A security guard is a worthwhile investment if shoplifting and staff theft have become an issue for your store.
Safety concerns
Employees, visitors, and customers are all concerned about their safety in many firms. These issues can be alleviated by hiring a security guard. A security guard keeps your premises safe, whether the threat is workplace violence, customer security, or unauthorized access.
Alcohol Is Served on Premises
Injuries, property destruction, and thefts are all more likely when alcohol is used. People who are inebriated are more likely to engage in violent behavior or commit minor crimes. Bars, concerts, athletic events, and any other establishments that provide alcohol must be prepared for inebriated behavior. Security guards curb poor conduct and can even remove bothersome drunks.
You may be subject to liability claims
Nothing ruins your financial year like a major liability claim. Liability lawsuits can leave you on the hook for settlements, legal fees, insurance deductibles, and higher premiums if your organization operates on a narrow profit margin. Theft, trespassing, and burglary aren’t the only things security guards keep an eye on. They’re also on the lookout for potentially unsafe circumstances that could result in liability claims, such as fire hazards, patrons behaving badly, and other safety concerns.
