Why we need a security guard?

At what point does it become essential to connect a private security guard service company? This is a question many security-conscious people find themselves having to contend with, when they feel within forced to engage private guards, but when faced with doubts as to whether it is really something they need, from a practical point of view. Ultimately, this is not something anyone can give you definite advice on. It is more of a personal decision (or more of a specific business decision, in case we are looking at a managerial situation); which has to be made in line with the current circumstances. But there are a number of general guidelines, on when the engagement of a private security guard company becomes more of a requirement than a luxury.

One of the situations when it would be necessary to consider engaging the services of a private security guard service company is when you feel that you are under sensitive security threat. Sometimes, this may not just be a matter of ‘feeling' but often also a finale you arrive at following an examination of the facts at the ground. If, for instance, you are running a business which handles large sums of money, and people (including your own employees) know for sure that you lean to have such huge sums of money in your protection, that would automatically qualify as a huge security risk. It doesn't matter how good brave the people who know about your custody of money may be: the information they have could somehow leak to the bad guys. In a situation like this, what you would need would ideally be an armed private security guard service, because you can count on the guys who eventually come for your money/valuables being armed.

Security threats that justify the appointment of private guards don't have to be those to do with theft/robbery. Sometimes, you could be looking at a situation where you understand that your workforce could turn unruly or where (running something like a restaurant) you recognize that some of your customers could decide not to pay their bills. You need someone to handle these kinds of situations on your behalf because they can be irresistible, or they could result in your discomfiture as you attempt to handle them yourself.

The other situation where it would be necessary for you to consider engaging guard services, even where you are not under a particularly huge direct risk is where you happen to be living in an area that is not well served the public (police) tour of duty. There are many such inaccessible locations. A specific example would be where you happen to be living in a generous range.  True, you may not have much in terms of valuables – but your isolation could make you attractive to all manner of criminal elements in search of an easy target. But a guard at the right place and the right time (especially a properly armed one) could keep away them when they come calling or, better still, serve as a restriction.
