Peace of mind is important. When you have an elite team of security guards, you can always feel better knowing that your commercial building is well-protected. However, facility protection is a job that requires constant vigilance around the clock.
Arranging Facility Protection
Determine which parts of your premises will need guarding even after business hours have ended. For the ultimate facility protection, you may want to have security services covering every building, particularly when you are responsible for multiple buildings. Based on the information you give them, your security service provider will determine the best patrol routes for your guards to follow, revising your security strategy according to incident reports and activity logs.
Create a Strategy
Creating a strategy to improve your facility protection methods will depend on collaboration with other stakeholders in your company. Ask your employees for input, and then take your concerns to the security provider you already work with, such as CES Security. The strategies you design and execute should address how any new guards are expected to communicate with their superiors and with your regular employees, as well as how they should interact with customers and visitors who do not have hostile intent.
Recruit New Guards
Depending on the scope of your new security strategy, you may request a security consultation to assess how secure your premises actually are. Every new guard candidate should be fully trained in the relevant security protocols. Further training should be included as a component of their ongoing professional development. Security guards should also be posted around sensitive areas so that they can be monitored closely.
Review Activity Logs
Your guards are more effective when they are deployed in teams or small groups, as they can better respond to incidents while on their patrol routes. Before and after every guard shift, make sure that activity logs are being filled out and kept up to date. Tracking and reviewing more detailed activity logs can help refine your approach to ensuring facility protection both now and in the future.
