ARMED GUARDING

Types of armed services:

1. Armed Static Guards

Unsurprisingly, the mere presence of armed security guards can deter criminal activity, such as theft, vandalism, or even violent crime. All of our staff have received nationally accredited training in security and in the use of specialised equipment including firearms. The presence of security guards acts as a visual deterrent to any form of misconduct and provides a reassuring air of professionalism and safety.

2. Armed Security Patrols

The focus of our security services is to ensure that you, your employees, customers, and the general public can feel safe and secure under our supervision. Our patrol cars are fitted with satellite trackers, dash cams & body cams for the preservation of crucial evidence often needed to properly prosecute caught offenders. Furthermore, armed guards in mobile patrols can provide a quick response to security incidents, which can be crucial in preventing criminal activity. They can respond to alarms and emergency calls, perform security checks on doors and windows, and ensure that the business is secure and protected at all times.

Common examples of businesses that may benefit from armed security guard services:

• Secure facilities 
• Government Buildings and Offices
• Banks and Financial Institutions
• High-End Retailers and Jewelry Stores 
• Transport and Manufacturing sites

Common questions and answers about Armed Security Services:

• How do I know if Armed Security Services are a good idea for my business?
  
  Elite Protective Services will work with you and stake-holders to complete a comprehensive Risk Assessment outlining our recommendations for risk mitigation. Keep in mind Armed Security Guards are the very highest level of protection and in the event of an emergency, can respond quickly and effectively to protect people and property.

• Do my assets or property need to be of a high monetary value to use armed guards?
  
  No, there is no threshold in terms of dollar value which automatically means you should employ armed guards. Value is defined by the owner and could be of a sentimental, historic, artistic or strategic nature, rather than financial. However the use of armed guards for the protection of an asset can be beneficial when it comes to your insurance.
