The security consulting business is growing fast and private security guards are becoming more important in society. Private security guards are responsible for protecting the employer's investment, enforcing property laws, deterring criminal activity, and often acting as the first responders in an emergency situation.
Three things are listed below that need to be remembered when you hire security guards for retail security facilities or Corporate Security Services:-

1) What needs to be protected
2) What level of protection do you desire?
3) Who will do the protecting?
1) First, determine what protection is needed and what guard's responsibilities are. Personal security guards also inspect and patrol property in order to prevent theft, vandalism, fire, and other illegal activities.
2) Private security guards are armed or unarmed and can be dressed in plain or uniform clothes. They can be posted on the property, or they can be seen from miles away by video cameras that are part an interactive system. How much security is required and how can it be achieved?
It doesn't matter if the guards are hired by an agency or directly by the end-user; it is important to interview the candidates to ensure that they are the best fit for the job. A security consulting firm has the advantage of being bonded, background checks are already done, training is completed and guards can be terminated quickly.
