What Makes a Good Security Guard?

10/30/2021

 
Whether you are a client looking to find the right Security Company, or you are the Security Company, I'm sure you've wanted to know what signs to look for in a guard so that you know you won't have to worry about the quality he/she will provide. I'm sure you've all heard stories of Security Officers falling asleep or flat out just not caring. Though few in many it does not feel good when that guard they're talking about was working for you, but what can you look for so that you can make sure you hire good quality guards.

It's hard attempting to fit an exact example as to the perfect guard since you can have a guard who is extremely quiet and focused on people's body language be just as good as a guard who is a better communicator and will deescalate many situations with ease. This means the signs to finding a good guard are more complicated than analyzing at surface level. The thing both guards used as an example above have in common is simply effort. They both go about handling situations differently but they both focus on one end goal, ensuring your property is safe. However, meeting this goal isn't as easy as it may sound. Security Guards are often times tasked with very dangerous situations. Though it may sound cliche, Security Officers have to deal with altercations everyone wishes to avoid. No one wants to go to work feeling unsafe or scared that if someone becomes a danger to the business or the people inside it, that they're going to have to take care of it themselves. That being said, a good security officer can benefit a business in many ways which is why we always recommend going with a security company who's devoted to hiring/ training great guards and not just settling for huge security companies that prioritize numbers over quality of service.
