Outsourcing Security Services Should you outsource security? Regardless of your business or industry, security at your company probably is now more visible and under more scrutiny than ever before. High-profile security incidents raise employers concerns about risks and potential loss. Employees want the assurance of a safe, secure work environment. Budget constraints demand that you do more with less. Perhaps you ve reviewed and strengthened security procedures, but you know that more safeguards are needed such as additional coverage, broader capabilities and better reporting. Is the solution to outsource all or part of your security program? There are compelling reasons why 80 percent of Fortune 1000 companies contract their security needs with Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. Retain Control, Assure Performance Outsourcing security does not mean giving up control of your security program. In fact, you ll continue to be responsible for specifying security services and setting performance standards. We ll work closely with you to enhance security procedures and deliver the highest quality security personnel and services. We know you have a choice when selecting a security provider, so we strive to meet your expectations every day. Cost-effectiveness and Budget Control Typically, clients can reduce total security program costs by 15 to 35 percent when converting from a proprietary security force to the Securitas USA team. With contract security, you can more easily budget and control annual security expenditures, including payroll and employee benefits costs. Gain Staffing Flexibility, Adapt to Changing Requirements We can immediately adjust your security workforce as needs change. Contract security gives you the flexibility to quickly add experienced, trained personnel to deal with a security problem, parking issue or special event. You can also reduce the security staff when necessary, without the costs and publicity associated with terminations or layoffs. Reduce Administrative Burden and Scheduling Issues We assume most administrative duties for your security department, including recruiting, interviewing, background screening, training, scheduling and evaluating security personnel. Our pre-employment screening includes reference and criminal records checks, drug screening and a standardized honesty test to help ensure that we provide you with qualified, reliable security officers. Administrative support is costly, and is complicated by ongoing absenteeism and turnover. With Securitas USA, you can be assured that our security officers are hired and trained to your specifications, and that reserve personnel are available to fill open posts, even on short notice. Professional, Unbiased Security Services Our security officers are trained professionals, dedicated to providing outstanding service. This frequently fosters long-term client

But because they are contract employees, they often are better able to enforce client regulations and procedures without favoritism or bias. Lower Training Costs We have the expertise and resources to effectively train security officers to your specifications. In addition to basic security training, this could include CPR, EMT, First Aid and AED certification, as well as training in firefighting and hazardous materials handling. All security officers receive site-specific training, and are fully informed about security policies and responsibilities. Securitas USA was recognized for our outstanding training and development solutions and received the Top 125 Award from Training Magazine in 2009. Ease of Personnel Administration If for any reason you consider a security officer unsatisfactory for your location, that person will be replaced. Since these security officers are not your employees, you will not need to handle related disciplinary actions, liability for wrongful discharge or regulatory compliance unless otherwise agreed. Reduce Uniform and Equipment Costs We supply uniforms and equipment for your security workforce, allowing you to benefit from our high volume purchasing programs and eliminating your need to separately buy and inventory those items.
