ARE YOUR SECURITY
PERSONNEL FIT FOR DUTY?
Security professionals (operatives) are a company’s or
residence first line of defense in the prevention of violent attacks, dealing
with employee threats, corporate sabotage and other wrong doings in the work
place, school, home or business environment. It has become very necessary to
ensure that security personnel are capable of discharging their professional
duty.
Amid the recent surge of violent
crimes like armed robbery, kidnappings, assassinations and terrorism. It has
become more evident that it is not enough to just have a random person standing
outside your gate. Licensed security service providers know the risk of not
doing a proper due diligence check on their employees which is why responsible
security companies like Marshal star Security Services have in place policies
and procedures aimed at ensuring that any guard posted to a client’s location
is vetted bonded and insured.
Our method of recruitment, vetting,
due diligence checks, training/ retraining and robust incentives have been streamlined
so that clients get a motivated, efficient, Intelligent, honest, disciplined
and professional security operative who is proud to be an ambassador of the
company and a courteous, friendly yet firm first line of contact to your home
or business.
The hypersensitivity of your security
details can actually mean the difference between life and death. This is
especially true for security operatives who make daily in-the-moment decisions that
can affect the safety of those around them. Therefore it is imperative that
your Security service provider or people in charge of your security functions know
for sure that their employees have received the relevant training vetting and
are psychologically fit to perform their jobs effectively.
If proper checks and evaluation are
not done the outcomes can be catastrophic.
The recent case of the German pilot
Andreas Lubitz who had a history of mental illness and depression that went
undictated by his employers is a sad lesson of how horrible wrong things can go
when due diligence is not done. Although this is an extreme case, we have seen
cases in the industry where mentally challenge individuals have attacked
clients or physically harassed people in their locations.
It is advice that we should be alert.
Please make the effort to know those that are securing your homes, workplace
and businesses. Interact with your security personnel from time to time. Ask
questions! Watch their mannerism and do not hesitate to ask for a change of
personnel posted to your location if you do not feel comfortable with the
persons working for you. Trust
your instincts!
Psychological issues can affect
people of any age, sex, and ethnicity working in any type of employment setting
including security. Therefore do not condone inappropriate behavior from your
security personnel. Report any anomalies in behavior to their superiors.
