Businesses, events and communities’ benefit from having qualified security guards on-site and visible for peace of mind and deterrence. 

Qualified and trained security guards have the ability to recognize situations, proper handling of crowds, communication and observation of patrols and incident recording.

Security Guards reduce victim-generated crimes by 16% or more.*
