In our world of crime and violence, security guards and security systems are a necessity. Every year, there are countless cases of robbery, sexual assault, attempted murder, and vandalism reported by the Canadian Police. In fact, there has been a rise in the crime rates off lately. According to a report by CBC News, “Alberta has contributed to a rise in the national crime rates for the first time in 12 years”. This means there is an increased need for security guards in public places.
Let us take a look at a few places where security guards are needed.
-
Residential Buildings
Apartments and residential buildings are hotspots for burglars. This is why it is essential to have a good security system in place. Security guards look for suspicious activity and take actions to prevent crime. They are on duty at all times and make sure the residents of the building are secure. Security guards give residents the peace of mind and assurance that they are in a protected space.
-
Hospitals
Every day, lots of people walk into hospitals for various purposes. Which is why such places are vulnerable to criminal activity. It is, therefore, necessary to position security guards at the entry and exit points, at the parking lot, and also on every floor of the hospital.
-
Commercial Parking Lots
Most commercial parking lots are secluded and are usually in areas where there is minimal activity. So there are fewer people in these areas. Burglars and vandals always have their eyes on such places. They usually steal expensive parts of cars and cause serious losses to the car owners. The presence of security guards in such places will considerably reduce the incidents of theft.
-
Events
Hundreds of people gather for various events such as conferences, exhibitions, and concerts. It is very easy for criminals to camouflage themselves in such crowded places and indulge in robbery and assault. Security guards coordinate with other security personnel to ensure there is no criminal activity at the site of the event. They also act as emergency medical assistants in such places.
