Choosing The Right Security Guards
2
As a security agency, we cannot stress enough the
importance of having the right kind of security
guard to secure your property whether it is a
commercial building, a sprawling estate, or your
own home. Having a physical presence that
monitors the property acts as an effective
deterrent against any kind of security threat.

Choosing the right security guardWhen a client
calls us, most of them ask for security that
looks the part rather than a guard who would be
best suited for the job. The very first step in
selecting the ideal security personnel is to
match the skill sets of that guard to your
specific requirements.

Monitoring a home requires a different set of
abilities as compared to securing a commercial
property.Identifying skill setsAfter we have
noted the requirements of our client, the next
step is identifying the right personnel. This is
how we do it.
5
Core competenciesWe match the core competencies
of the personnel to the security needs of the
client. If a guard has excellent surveillance and
detection capabilities, then they are selected
for securing a large complex.

On the other hand, if someone can manage crowds
and logistics better, they are selected for
providing security at events.Thinking on their
feetMental agility is one of the most important
characteristics of a security guard.
7
All personnel are trained in detecting and
diffusing high-risk situations, but a guard who
can adapt their measures deals with the situation
in faster, more efficient manner. Security
personnel must know when to stick by standard
procedures and when to change tactics.

This helps the guard to provide maximum
protection to the client.Talk the walkVerbal
skills are a highly important aspect of security
services. A security guard should posses the
necessary verbal skills to communicate with their
clients, their team members, and with people
around them.

These skills are especially important for guards
working in verticals where they have to interact
with the public such as VIP security, private
parties, and mall security. Verbal skills can
also help a guard mitigate a rising situation,
especially in public places.

Get the bestThe right security guard does not
have to think about training or protocols when
they deal with a situation. They simply react to
a security threat, and guided by their core skill
sets, they provide the right response to a
critical situation.http//auswidesecurity.com.au/
