Why Are Uniformed Security Guards Important?
Crime flourishes when environmental conditions allow it to, and most petty crimes are crimes of opportunity. Uniformed security guards address both of these issues, acting as an effective visible barrier while adopting a customer service-based approach for customers and visitors alike.
When you station a uniformed security guard at your property, it sends a powerful signal to criminals that their activities are being monitored, and security guards are standing by should they attempt to engage in criminal behaviour.
