Why Training for Modern Security is a MUST...
REDUCED LIABILITY - Proper and professional training for security personnel is often overlooked by many companies. In today’s world, the inherent safety and legal risks of having a poorly or improperly trained security force could have catastrophic results. The PHYSICAL and LEGAL damage resulting from a lack of training or poor training, could result in immeasurable damage to the company. This is damage that is otherwise preventable with security guards who are legally aware, and trained how to properly react to a certain situation. The importance of proper training cannot be overstated.
REDUCED COSTS - Being able to show training reports for your security force that are completed by professional trainers who are subject matter experts is paramount! This also lowers the occurrence of "incidents" where officers unknowingly stepped outside their legal boundaries resulting in law suits, thus lowering legal costs.
REDUCED COMPLAINTS - First impressions are everything, and security guards frequently are the first to meet and greet the client and represent the mission of the company... A properly trained security force knows how to interact with the client and represent the company in support of the mission, with a positive impression - all while keeping everyone safe.
IMPROVED MORALE - The top complaint we hear from most security guards is that they feel as if they do not know what they can or cannot do, and that their company "won't have their back when things go wrong." A security guard is far more hesitant to take action when required to - thus resulting in ineffective security, and a guard who simply occupies office space. A properly trained security force who feels that the "company cares," is empowered to do their job properly and professionally. Overall morale and the effectiveness of security go up!
