"People and Property are falling to a new
breed of criminal, who is prepared to use violence and take great risks, for
relatively little gain"
Elite Security Guards, who are also called security officers, patrol and inspect
property to protect against fire, theft, vandalism, and illegal activity. Our
Security Guards protect our client's investment, enforce laws on the property,
and deter criminal activity or other problems. They use radio and telephone
communications to call for assistance from police, fire, or emergency medical
services as the situation dictates. Elite Security guards write reports outlining
their observations and activities during their assigned shift.
Although the majority of our security guards perform many of the same duties,
specific duties vary based on whether the guard works in a "static" security
position or on a mobile patrol. Guards assigned to static security positions
usually serve the client at one location for a specific length of time. These
guards must become closely acquainted with the property and people associated
with it and often monitor alarms and closed-circuit TV cameras. In contrast,
guards assigned to mobile patrol duty drive or walk from location to location
and conduct security checks within an assigned geographical zone.
A Security Guard typically -
- Patrols offices, schools, colleges, industrial sites, commercial zones, municipal locations, special events, malls, arenas, hospitals, labor disputes etc. to prevent theft or damage to property, equipment, tools, and supplies.
- Patrols a prescribed area on an installation to check the status of locks, alarms, fences, gates, or other barriers.
- Patrols installation perimeters to detect faulty fences and/or detection equipment, trespassing violations, and attempted thefts.
- Controls personnel access by monitoring the identification of individuals entering controlled areas.
- Refers persons who lack proper credentials to a control point to arrange access.
- Performs related duties as assigned, or requested by the client.
Their primary functions are access control, loss prevention, fire prevention, incident prevention, customer service, information service and information gathering.
