Many different private security companies overlook the real importance of placing highly trained and qualified security guards on nighttime shifts. For many businesses, the night shift is very quiet, and there is much less customer interaction. However, there is a higher risk of crime around this time too. At ICS Security Services, our armed and unarmed guards are both fully trained to help manage the legitimate security threats that night shifts present and are completely prepared in the event of an emergency. Read on to learn how security companies are creating real nighttime policies and security plans to help prepare their guards for the night shift.
Maintaining a Regular Sleep Schedule
Staying awake for the duration of your night shift is hard in any type of profession, but the stakes are very high when you’re responsible for protecting an area and all of its occupants. At ICS Security Services, all of our security guards are trained to help manage a healthy and regular sleep schedule so that they remain fully alert and reactive while on their jobs. Our high standard for employment ensures that professional security services with frequent inspection by our supervisors maintain a genuinely high-quality level of work.
Multi-Guarded Teams for Security
While it entirely up to the business owner or school principal how many security guards they would like to hire during the night shift, we highly recommend hiring multiple guards for more protection. Depending on the type of location of your property, crime rates will vary. However, certain areas are very susceptible to criminal activity late at night. Additionally, the less foot traffic there is on the property, the more critical it is to have various guards spread out to flag and communicate possible problems in multiple areas. If you do not choose to employ numerous security guards or a certified patrol team, you might want to opt for some armed guards to better manage potential security threats.
Patient and Calm Security Guards
In an emergency situation like a break-and-enter or a case of property damage, it is imperative to have a security team that remains truly calm and takes the right steps to quell the threat. The security guards at ICS Security Services are trained to respond quickly to threats and contact the proper authorities.
