ARMED AND UNARMED SECURITY OFFICERS Based on your security needs, Crescent Guardian is qualified to supply both armed and unarmed guards to ensure the protection of your environment, people and assets. Whether you need a guard merely as a visual deterrent or an armed officer for maximum security, you can be assured that your needs will be met with the most qualified and experienced guards available. ARMED GUARDS Our armed guards are firearm experts trained and certified in the use of various handguns. Every armed guard is trained and qualified by firearms instructors who have years of experience. This ensures that each armed guard has the necessary knowledge and expertise to carry and use a weapon. In addition to our standard guard training programs, each armed guard receives extensive and recurrent training. UNARMED SECURITY GUARDS Unarmed security guards provide the added safety and confidence of general security to any business or public place, and we understand that a highly trained unarmed guard is sufficient to meet many security needs. In many cases, unarmed guards may be just as effective as those who are armed. The mere presence of an unarmed guard often provides peace of mind to customers and employees alike. WEAPONS TRAINING INCLUDES: Firearm Safety Weapon Disassembling Sight Alignment Shooting Techniques Holstering Techniques Weapon Laws Ammunition Types How to Hold and Shoot a Weapon SECURITY TRAINING INCLUDES: Safety CPR and First Aid Report Writing Observation Techniques State Laws in Private Security Weapon Safety Restraining Techniques Security Radio Codes Handcuffing Baton Mobile Patrol Video Surveillance
VEHICLE PATROL One of the most effective security measures is a vehicle patrol, a deterrent that is constantly on the move. They can either act as additions to existing guard services or function as a standalone program of observation and deterrence. Our Vehicle Patrol Services will ensure the security of your facility by patrolling the premises at random times so as to not be predictable in any way. A patrol security guard will drive to your location in a marked patrol vehicle and survey the grounds. The officer will be on the property for as long as it takes to perform their assigned rounds, check whatever checkpoints have been highlighted and then leave your property to return later for their next patrol rounds. The security patrol guard will write a report with the time and his activities for your records. In case of an emergency or something unusual, the patrol officer will make sure that the situation is resolved before leaving the property. If necessary the patrol services officer will contact the client and the police. Think a vehicle patrol would be best for you? We ll work to create a patrol schedule that will both accomplish your security goals and stay within your budget.
