When it comes to security for your business premises, you should never be prepared to compromise. Many companies, however, do not have the adequate provisions in place in order to ensure effective staff and asset protection. Below, Umbrella Security Services has reviewed why consulting a professional security company for your key holding and alarm response requirements are always the best solution:
Fast and Flexible 24/7 Response
Unfortunately, it is not always feasible to have staff members on call in case there is a security issue at your premises, especially if you operate normal working hours and, therefore, don’t have people working in the building throughout the night. Utilising a professional team for key holding and alarm response means that you can depend on an expert security guard to arrive immediately on site in the event of an emergency or break-in, thereby minimising the possibility of damage and theft. You have peace of mind that your security company will provide round the clock protection throughout the year with little to no disruption to you or your members of staff.
Health and Safety
As a responsible employer, safeguarding your workers is extremely important. By allowing one of your employees to respond to a break-in or crime on your premises, you are potentially putting them at risk of harm from the perpetrator. By utilising the services of security guards for your key holding and alarm response, you are benefitting from a team that is specifically trained to safely handle security problems; they will be able to make snap decisions that diffuse the situation and prevent further danger.
Expert Situation Handling
This leads us on to the next advantage of outsourcing your key holding and alarm response – expertise and experience. A company that specialises in these kinds of security provisions will boast knowledge of and experience in working with many kinds of security systems and, therefore, quickly come to grips with your particular set up. They will understand the correct procedure for apprehending the culprit, know how to properly contact emergency services, and be able to succinctly yet comprehensively report the crime.
Threat Reduction
Introducing outsourced keyholding and alarm response is a great means of preventing future crime as many potential thieves and burglars will be deterred at the thought of facing an expert security team. This is especially important if your commercial premises is left unoccupied intermittently throughout the year or even for long periods of time.
