How a Dog Means Double Security

Posted by admin on March 13, 2012 at 12:45 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

If your event or business routinely hires security guards to patrol and secure the premises, it may be worth considering a security dog handler as part of your security team. Why? You’re effectively getting double security.

As most security agencies would tell you, employing a security dog handler is always a little more expensive than a standalone guard, but you get more for your money. Dogs have an acute sense of hearing, and will hear an intruder far before their human handler does, enabling them to lead your security to where there might be trouble, before the potential intruder has got very close.

In addition, we all know that security-trained dogs have a finely tuned sense of smell. We’ve all seen sniffer dogs at airports, on the street or being used to literally sniff out trouble at an event. If you’re an event organiser and you want to deter anyone from using illegal substances on your grounds, your event security should include a dog – otherwise your chances of catching someone only rests on your security team seeing the drugs out in the open or being used, which is far more difficult.

Even if it’s just to guard your business premises, dogs are well worth the extra cost. Think like a thief – if you had the choice of targeting a building with a dog, and one without, which one would you go for? Never the one with the dog – because double security means double the chance to apprehend trouble and keep your business secure.

 

Choose Security to Save Money

Posted by admin on March 3, 2012 at 12:29 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

No matter what the size of your business, you’ve probably spent a lot of time and money on securing your assets – your buildings, your staff, and in some cases, keeping your premises ticking over securely for 24 hours a day.

CCTV has come on in leaps and bounds over the past decade, but there’s still nothing like a human being acting as a security guard to both deter and prevent any illegal activity on your grounds. Whether it’s a bouncer offering security guard services to a club, or a team of security offices patrolling a firm’s head office – humans will always be better than machines at analysing threats and dealing with them intelligently, rather than just recording the pictures of a crime happening.

You may think that having a security guard service would be expensive, but some of the more advanced camera systems can cost more than a security guard’s services for several months. A guard can prevent your assets being compromised but a security system is useless once breached. Even if you can file an insurance claim, you still have to pay the excess which will no doubt increase in tandem with the number of incidents.

Even just one guard security patrolling can make a difference, no matter how small your business. Given the choice between a building manned by a camera or one with a guard in front of it, there’s no contest which one is likely to be targeted. Talk to us today about how and where your business can benefit from security guards, and we’ll do the rest.

We understand that you will want to keep your premises protected at all times, which is why we here at Definitive Security Services can offer fantastic security dogs and security dog handlers.

Corporate Event Planning? Think security

Posted by admin on January 25, 2012 at 3:19 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

If you are the designated event planner for your company you want everything to go without any complications. However, trying to keep track of everything is near impossible. One of the things that you should definitely hand over to a professional company is the event security. Security at corporate events is not only necessary for preventing any party crashers from entering the event they can also help to clamp down on any potential criminal activity.

Thieves know that at events such as these people are usually wearing their best and most expensive attire. Often they can be practiced in spotting and taking expensive jewellery items. If the event is a charity ball or auction then it may be the case that many attendees will be carrying large sums of money that they will try and target. Also, as the champagne and other alcoholic beverages flow throughout the night, people become slightly more careless with their belongings and may leave bags or coats unattended. Security officers will provide protection against theft. This works in two ways by firstly keeping an eye on any potential crimes being committed and also, by simple being a present show of force, can act as a deterrent.

Event security guards can also keep the event private. They can take control over checking that only those who are strictly invited are allowed to enter. Security at an event takes some of the stress out of your job so you can relax and concentrate on ensuring everything runs smoothly and everyone had a good time.

 

Why Key Holding Companies are a Necessity

Posted by admin on January 15, 2012 at 3:17 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

Key holding is concerned with what could potentially happen after you leave your home or workplace. We realise how much every individual values their possessions and guaranteeing their safety is a good way to ensure your peace of mind. With so many incidents that could possibly happen, having a trusted key holding company in place to react to any eventuality is the best way to protect your assets.

Key holding by security agencies like us may not mean having personnel inside your home while you are away but having officers on standby in case something goes wrong. This is especially beneficial if you leave for an extended period of time; on holiday for example. The simplest thing, like a faulty socket or an appliance that has not been switched off, can cause the greatest of catastrophes. Key holders are able to prevent these incidents from escalating.

Security officers are able to alert you about any events in case you need to return. They can be a more long term service or a onetime necessity depending on your personal circumstances. Trusting your keys to a professional company also stops you from worrying that your house sitter is throwing a party at your expense or that your neighbour is comparing your home to theirs. We pride ourselves on security and discretion with years of experience to make sure your home’s security is not compromised just because you are not there.

 

Security Mobile Patrols for Your Business

Posted by admin on January 5, 2012 at 3:10 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

For any business owner crime and theft is a major concern and one of the best ways to combat this problem is to hire an agency like us that offers mobile patrol services. We know that the best way to fight crime is to prevent it happening in the first place. Having our security officers on site can make any potential criminal reconsider before they even commit a crime.

If a criminal is aware of mobile patrol officers present in the area of their intended activity then this can deter and stop their plans. Mobile patrol services are trained and have real experience in prevention of criminal activity. They serve as your response and protection for however long it takes for the police to arrive. That the team will already be situated on your premises means that in the eventuality of any type of incident they are in prime position to act.

Also the patrolling officers will know their client and can advise them on the procedure to follow next. The team also provides an advantage when there is no one on site in the case of an alarm being raised. If the owner is away from the property they can secure the site until either the client or the police are able to attend. Security patrolling is the best way to keep your companies premises safe protecting both employees and property with an efficient and specific service tailored to your needs.

 

Protect your Company with Security Personnel

Posted by admin on December 21, 2011 at 3:21 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

With the reliance on technology at an all time high, where everything is becoming computerised with many different devices, it is not suprising that companies are becoming more and more concerned with security and the safety of their assets. If you own a company that has a central property for business or holds merchandise and products then it is well worth considering security guard services.

Security services can be a number of different things depending on the requirements of the company. We are flexible in our service and aim to provide the most specific security possible. Security can range from permanent guard staff to day or night protection. Depending on the nature of business it may be worth considering a round the clock service. Thieves are one of the main concerns for businesses that trade expensive and valuable goods on a daily basis. Leaving this kind of stock in an unsecure location overnight can be increasing the chances of theft and attempted break ins.

Having security guards stationed visibly within or around the building not only gives you protection against the event of a break in but also acts as a potential deterrent. Deterring thieves is a much better way to protect you and your business than merely a response team that act during or after the theft has occurred.  We are committed to ensuring the best service from security guard companies and maintain the highest standards of security guarding.

 

The Importance of Security

Posted by admin on December 14, 2011 at 3:18 pm. Filed under: Event and Venue Security

Security used to be reserved for the rich and famous classes of society but in today’s world the importance for merely basic security is beginning to affect everyone. The rate of theft and petty crime is high and, with the feeling of community spirit seemingly decreasing, the need for security guard services is on the rise. This is especially important for office buildings, schools, religious places and apartments. These locations are often hotspots for trespassers and thieves. Security guards are able to provide the ultimate protection for both property and people.

In addition to physical security by a guard it is a good idea to use security measures such as CCTV, other video monitoring systems and alarms. These companies usually provide these services readily. The different type of security is based on the building and other factors. For example, residential security typically employs a guard on a twenty four hour watch to only allow residents and authorised persons into the building. This differs to security guarding in a department store who would be required in trading hours but the store would be protected by an alarm system otherwise. These measures allow you to function on a day to day basis knowing that you have the best protection possible. With so many different service options available from security guard companies, you can be protected and have peace of mind on any budget range.
