All cities private security frequent ask Question?
Security agencies are governmental organizations that conduct intelligence activities for a nation’s security such as the FBI and Department of Homeland Security. Security companies are private organizations that provide security and protection services to other companies and individuals.
It depends on the situation and setting. For example, if you need a security guard to guard a private community recreation center and check in residents, an unarmed guard is most likely an appropriate choice due to the nature of the assignment. On the other hand, if you operate a jewelry store or bank or will be hosting an event with high profile individuals in attendance, armed guards will likely be needed. Fortunately, you don’t have to make the choice on your own. All Cities Private Security Services consultants can help you make an informed decision based on actual threats, risks, and vulnerabilities.
