Armed Guards and Access Control Systems Keep Your Property Safe

These are uncertain times, and your property needs all the protection it can get.  One of the strongest and most effective forms of protection are access control systems, with either unarmed or armed guards watching over the access points.  From business complexes to neighborhoods, a gated access control point gives you control over who enters your property – and that means keeping looters and vandals out.

Why You Should Consider Access Control Points with Armed Guards

1. Deterrent factor

The best security systems aren’t about catching criminals, they’re about preventing crime in the first place.  Few security measures will do more to deter malicious activity than gated, guarded access points.  They send a strong “Stay out!” message to any miscreants, one which is rarely ignored.

2. You know everyone who is coming and going

Even if your property keeps the gate open most of the time, an access control point means that no one enters or leaves the property without being seen and recorded.  This reduces the chances of unauthorized access or activity.

3. Guards can detect suspicious behavior

Security guard companies in Houston train their guards to carefully observe people who are coming and going.  This can be invaluable in preventing unauthorized behavior or tracking down the perpetrators if it does happen.

4. Access cards are easier to change than all your locks

If you’re still using traditional locks on your doors, what happens if an employee loses their keys?  You either have to change the locks at great expense or simply hope that nothing bad happens.   However, when your employees (or residents or whoever else has access) are using access cards, it’s simple to cancel the card and issue a new one.  This also reduces the chances of pickpockets gaining illicit access!

5. Increased safety for employees and visitors

Guarded access points don’t only protect you.  They also increase security for your workers, residents, visitors, or anyone else who’s authorized to be on the property.  They’ll appreciate the extra level of security and feel better about being on your property while they’re there.
