Security Guards Vs Electronic Security Solutions
Security Guards, Static Guards or Guard Patrols, however you term them, perception remains as to their reliability, effectiveness and value for money. There is much anecdotal and confirmed evidence about the poor quality of some security personnel, yet for many businesses Guards are still regarded as the right security solution and to be entrusted with the protection of your goods and premises.
Not before time the industry has been required to "smarten up its act" and companies offering Guarding services now have to comply with stringent quality and vetting procedures, which will no doubt lessen some of the suspicions that prevailed previously.
However, some major concerns still remain
- Guards Falling asleep
- A Guard can only be in once place at any one time
- A Guard can be a target point as they often have keys
- Guards continually monitoring CCTV will miss 85% of what happens in front of the cameras after 12 minutes and 95% after 25 minutes
- As most Guards are out sourced you never know the Guard that could turn up next or his integrity.
