aemed or unarmed security service

If you own a business, you will always be concerned about the protection of your premises and the employees. Your concerns are genuine and only safe and reliable security guards’ services can help you. But, one thing that will always confuse you is that whether you should hire armed security guards or unarmed ones. So, you need to understand what you want, and deeply analyse your requirements as well. Understand what armed or unarmed security does, and then select according to it.

Let us delve more into it so that you can finally decide and hire the right security services for your premises.

Who are unarmed security guards?

The ones who do not possess any weapons when they are on duty are the unarmed security guards. The only weapons or things considered as the weapons for them are pepper spray, baton, or taser.

The business that chooses unarmed security services over the armed ones is usually at low risk. Those who have less equipment and fewer employees in the office can always go for the unarmed security forces. The unarmed experts can prevent following things on the premises-

  • Vandalism and stealing
  • Unwanted or suspicious activities
  • Take the public to a safer location if needed
  • Possess rigorous training and can deliver the best services without weapons as well

Thus, if own a small business, you can always choose the unarmed services and make the most of their services. Don’t think that armed services are the only option because the difference between armed and unarmed professionals is of weapons, but the training they get is equal.

Who are armed security guards?

The armed security guards possess legal weapons, and these guards also have the training, license, and certification, which allow them to use these weapons when needed. The business that has more assets and a large number of employees usually hires the armed security services because the chances of crimes at such places increase.

The big offices have to hire a large team of security personnel who also have the weapons on duty, and concurrently, who will also keep an eye on everyone who is coming to the premises. The premises like big corporations, banks, retails, jewellers, opt for the armed security services because the risk of stealing or a crime is more as the assets like money or jewellery are very precious, and the thief can keep an eye on such places.

Sometimes, people also hire armed security guards when their office is in an area where crime rates are high. Following are the things that an armed security officer will look after-

  • They abide by the law and will make sure that every around them is doing the same.
  • They know how to handle the weapons and when to use it
  • The usage of the weapon will be only done when extremely required

Be it Unarmed Security Guards or armed ones, all you need to do is, research and choose the reliable company and trusted in your town. Once you find the best company, consider all the points stated above and then hire professional armed or unarmed security services.
