Four Situations Where Houston Patrol Security Makes Sense

qualities for working in top security company

When do you really need Houston patrol security walking or riding around your grounds?  Obviously, for some businesses the answer is “24/7,” but that’s not going to be the case for everybody.  In many cases, patrolling security forces are a security add-on which will be introduced in situations where they’re needed, rather than being used around the clock.

So, let’s take a look at some of the most common situations where security patrols are called for.

Four Times You Want Houston Patrol Security on Your Property

  1. Any time the property will lack other on-site employees

A business which has been left entirely unguarded, such as a shop left unattended overnight, is going to be a magnet for criminal activity.  Anything from break-ins to graffiti defacement could occur, and there’s no one around to stop it.  Nor can cameras be relied on, since there are numerous ways a perp can hide their face from the cameras.

  1. Major holidays

Criminals love the holidays just like everyone else, but not for the same reasons.  Due to so many people being off work, security often suffers – which means Christmas for them could mean taking other people’s Christmases away.  Having a visible on-premises security team will do a lot to discourage thieves and vandals from taking advantage of your holiday cheer.

  1. Special events

Are you planning a public or semi-public event on your property, which will involve a large number of newcomers wandering around?  It’s always a good idea to beef up security.  The more strangers who are on a property, the more chance they’re up to no good.  Remember, some criminals love events like “open houses” specifically to get a chance to check out a building’s security.  Having a visible patrol says, “We’re quite secure, thank you very much.”

It will also help your honest guests feel more secure as well!

  1. If there’s been any sort of threat

Any threats against your property or your workforce should be taken very seriously!  Don’t shrug them off.  If the threat seems even a little credible, this is a situation where “better safe than sorry” applies.  Hire some patrol guards, maybe even armed guards, to watch over your people for a week or two.
