You may be tempted to hire on your own an independent person as your security guard for home, godown, school, office etc. It is common for people, in this case, to hire Masais as security guards. In most cases hiring on your own independent security guards is justified by the less amount of payment you will make to the independent security guard compared to the amount private security guards normally ask.
However, you need to consider benefits and other reasons why you should pay even more to hire the services of a private security company. Below are the reasons for and benefits of hiring a private security company:
No need to manage security staff:
When you hire a private security company, you remove yourself from the hustle of managing your own security staff. So you won’t worry about disciplining the security guards, their vacations, their time off, and you don’t have to keep a payroll for them. This also means you will always have an assurance that a guard will be available to guard you even when the one you have is sick or needs to go on vacation because a private security company will bring you another one.
Rapid response when an incidence happens:
At GYA Security, we guarantee our clients that in case of an incident, be intruders showing up in your house, office etc, or violence at your school, our team of guards from our office will respond quickly to help with the guards at your school to ensure the safety of the people and your property. But when you contract your own security guards, you may not have this kind of back up for rapid response when an incident happens.
Security needs assessment
From GYA Security, you will get the benefit of free security needs assessment. Security risk assessment is a procedure of analyzing potential threats to the safety and security of a place to be guarded. It entails understanding the facility/place’s operating procedures and activities, review of its current security procedures and systems, examining the physical area to evaluate access points and discover any blind spots, and looking for crime information of the area. The way we conduct a security risk assessment at GYA, is we are not only looking at possibilities of crime to happen, but we also evaluate the threats of non-criminal incidents such as fire and flood.
It is very unlikely that you will get a security needs assessment from a guard you yourself hire from the street.
Licence to carry firearms and trained security professionals
Most of the people that are hired from the street as independent security guards do not have a licence to carry firearms and may not have been professionally trained for a security job. But hiring a private security company like GYA Security guarantees you will have properly trained security guards plus if you need armed security services, then we are licenced to carry firearms.
