Make Your Clients Feel Safe with Security Patrols

Security patrols help make a company’s clients feel safe. It would be preferable that such services not be needed. Unfortunately, they are and companies must make sure that they step up to the plate. When at all possible, it is best to avoid problems rather than have to deal with them. Shopping centers, apartments, HOA’s, commercial and industrial properties can all benefit from the use of security patrols. Overton Security can help make your clients feel safer.

Having to deal with a security problem related to a company’s customers can have a negative effect on a business. In fact, if the problem is serious or frequent enough, it can result in a business’ demise. While it is never possible to completely prevent problems, there are things that companies can do to decrease the likelihood that something adverse happens to their customers.  Security patrols are one option.

Security patrols can take place any time of the day. For companies that cannot afford around-the-clock (dedicated) security patrols, it is best to choose times when customers or property might be most at-risk for instance, at night or very early in the morning, before the sun rises.  Such patrols are referred to as random security patrols. It will be important for a company to be strategic about the times they choose. Doing so will allow them to get the most benefit for the least amount of money.

Individuals enjoy shopping and living in places where they feel safe. They want to feel comfortable getting out of their cars and walking into their apartment building, leaving a store and walking back to their car. If an individual doesn’t, the likelihood that they will choose a certain complex to live or visit a particular store is nil. If they have a bad experience, or even if they feel frightened, they will think long and hard about returning. Some will refuse to return at all. This means lost revenue. If the problem is not remedied but continues, before long, a company may find itself unable to stay in business. A bad reputation in this area can scare off customers and may eventually lead to a company having to close its doors. To avoid such a scenario, companies need to consider their security needs and then make safety preparations accordingly.

Protecting company property is another reason to contract out security controls. Commercial and industrial properties, often find themselves the victims of theft. Such thefts can quickly add up and cost a business a lot of money.

Some companies will need to schedule executive security patrols even if nothing has occurred that would require such patrols, for instance, a vehicle or property break-in or an assault. For other companies, such patrols may not be necessary until something adverse has occurred. Concerning the latter, it is important to act fast. Waiting can result in customer’s lacking confidence in the company’s ability to handle the problem. Once this develops, a company will have a hard time winning that confidence back. Theft and property damage can also be problematic, resulting in lost revenue as stolen property has to be replaced.
