What to Base Hiring a Security Company on

 Hiring the right security company will make the difference between being able to focus on the core business and having to deal with security issues all the time. The right security company will have the necessary general liability and worker's compensation insurance coverage's, a proven model of supervision, the right electronic equipment to supervise their guards and most importantly experienced security consultants that will devise a security plan, customize post orders and train security officers.

I have provided security consultations to wholesale businesses where hiring the right security company made the difference between going bankrupt and being extremely profitable. Employee theft was so rampant that the company, although everything else including revenue and profits in the business model was perfect, was losing money. After a new security company was hired, the right procedures were put in place and almost immediately the company resumed being profitable.

It is easy to determine if a company has the legally mandated insurance coverage. Before hiring a company the client's representative should review the insurance additional insured certificates. If you the client wants to be especially thorough they should contact the security company's insurance broker ensuring that the policies are in effect. They can also ask the broker to send them a notice when the policy lapses or is cancelled. Some security companies may buy insurance and cancel it after obtaining the contract with the client. If you have any questions concerning where and how to use Security Companies nz, you can make contact with us at our site.


Providing onsite security is all about supervision and being able to keep security officers accountable. Only a few security guards will perform well without effective supervision. A proven model of supervision will include a good mix of electronic supervision and field supervisors visiting the site. Electronic equipment includes the detex system, which creates a report of where and when the security officer patrolled during his shift. That provides peace of mind to clients, because they will know that the guard is actually present and patrolling. Multiple random visits by supervisors each shift will ensure that the officer is alert, well groomed, professional and adhering to post orders. It also gives the security guard the chance to ask questions and the supervisor the opportunity to provide continuing on the job training.
