Improve Security Guard Services with Security Orange County Security guard companies are opposite to any vendor who usually hires a property manager. If you hired a painter, you can see if they are doing their job by looking at the walls. But when you hire a security guards company, how often can you see that the guard company is doing its job, which includes background checks and drug screening, providing good training for your guard and effectively monitoring and supervising your guards. They are probably in most instances, but it is important to implement a system of verification and quality control to ensure that problems related to the reduction in the performance of these jobs do not arise. Here Security Orange County will discuss easy steps for improving your security guard service and achieving what you picture as your ideal security guard force. Screen Your Guard Eligibility: In many states, it is mandatory for the guards to have a specified amount of training before they can start working as security guards. If your state is one of these states, make sure your safety guard company is compliant.

If you are in a state where no state is required for guard certification, then check the type of training provided by your security company and ask yourself whether it is sufficient. Assess Guard Training: Although most security guard companies have a very deep orientation which offers each guard for the company, in many cases the guard does not have the orientation for his specified asset. We call the assigned property "site specific training" for orientation. Review the Supervision of Your Guard: Guard supervision is one of the more important factors of good safety guard service. When security companies provide poor monitoring, there is not enough emphasis on preventing mistakes, problems and complaints. The lack of supervision also removes the opportunity to learn the guards and to better understand their duties. If the guards are not being monitored, then they begin to feel that their work is not important and they start looking at themselves as part of the


security team. When guards do not feel like the part of your team, it usually leads to unacceptable practices such as unacceptable behavior, rudeness and even theft.

Inspect Your Guard: Inspecting your guards after hours is always a great way to find out what is going on with your safety while you are not there. During these inspections, be sure to ask your security guard questions about his duties and responsibilities so that he can understand his job. In fact, we recommend that your security guard be regularly, as part of your ongoing security program by a licensed security consultant as part of your ongoing security program.
