You put a lot of trust in your security guard, especially if they are responsible for protecting your business after hours. Unfortunately, many security companies do not provide you with any accountability regarding what their guards are doing at night when they are alone in your building. This lack of oversight can leave your business in a vulnerable position if the guard is caught sleeping on duty or leaving their post to attend to personal matters. The consequences of such negligence can be severe, leading to theft, vandalism, or other security breaches that could have been easily prevented.
In today’s world, where security threats are ever-present, it is crucial to ensure that your security measures are robust and reliable. The traditional model of having a single security guard on duty may not be sufficient to protect your assets effectively. This is where innovative solutions like VirtuGuard™ come into play, providing a more comprehensive approach to security that addresses the shortcomings of conventional guarding methods.
BOS Security Offers TWO Solutions to the Problem of Security Guards Sleeping on Duty
Guard Tour Software for On-Site Security Guards
If you are paying for the services of a security guard company to keep your business and employees safe, then you deserve to know where your security guard is at all times when they are on duty. BOS’ TrackTik guard tour system allows you to monitor and verify that your guard is making the tours that you expect. Whether you only have a security guard on duty at night or subscribe to 24-hour security guard services, your business is only protected if the security guard on duty during the night shift is doing their job and patrolling the areas where you need them. BOS puts an end to your security guard falling asleep on duty.
TrackTik Increases Efficiency of Your Security Guards
When your security company provides you with TrackTik-equipped security guards, you know you are getting strictly controlled and efficient security. The increased accountability and protection provided by the 24/7 monitoring of security guards using the TrackTik system ensure that your business will be safer than ever. You can rest easy knowing the security guard service you paid for is hard at work keeping would-be vandals and thieves away from your property.
Working closely with your company stakeholders, BOS will identify your most valuable assets and tailor your security guard patrol tour accordingly. Defining your checkpoints based on this analysis ensures that we are covering your priorities effectively. TrackTik allows us to define what happens at each checkpoint, including logging, displaying a message, opening a report form, asking exception questions, or triggering an incident alert.
With GPS and QR code scanning technologies, management knows exactly where your security guard is throughout their shift and that those tours were successfully completed. This level of transparency is essential for maintaining trust and ensuring that your security measures are being executed as planned.
An additional value-add is the ability of BOS Security Officers to report on other items of interest, including maintenance situations or safety hazards that your office or facility maintenance team should address. This proactive approach not only enhances security but also contributes to the overall safety and well-being of your workplace.
Is Your Security Guard Sleeping on the Job? Protect Your Business with VirtuGuard™
VirtuGuard™ is BOS Security’s nationwide remote guarding solution that never sleeps. Using your existing security cameras, coupled with audio speakers and artificial intelligence, VirtuGuard™ provides more comprehensive coverage of your property at a fraction of the cost of an on-site security guard. This innovative solution addresses the critical issue of security guards potentially sleeping on the job by ensuring that there is always vigilant monitoring of your premises.
Comprehensive Visibility: A traditional human guard can only see what is immediately around them. In contrast, using your business’ security cameras, the VirtuGuard™ Security Officer can visualize and monitor your entire property in near real-time. This expanded view allows for a more thorough assessment of any potential threats. Independently, VirtuGuard™ Officers can respond via audio speakers on your site to intervene and deter criminals as they enter your property. Alternatively, we can make your on-site security guard more effective by alerting them to where they need to reposition to respond to the threat.
Respond to Crimes as You Expect: VirtuGuard™ Security Officers will respond according to protocols laid out by you, the customer. This means that you have control over how incidents are handled, ensuring that your specific security needs are met. The ability to customize responses enhances the effectiveness of your security measures.
Prevent Crimes Before They Occur: Voice responses alerting criminals that they are being observed are nearly 100% effective in preventing crimes before your property is damaged or people are injured. If the trespasser does not respond to our team’s warnings, the VirtuGuard™ Command Center security guard will call your local law enforcement and stay on the line to guide their response to your property. This immediate action can make a significant difference in the outcome of a potential crime.
Improved Police Response: Police Departments today are overworked and cannot respond to all calls promptly. However, a video-verified crime gets a faster response from local law enforcement. This means that when you utilize VirtuGuard™, you are not only enhancing your immediate security but also improving the likelihood of a swift police response in the event of an incident.
Lower Cost: This use of technology reduces your security budget by as much as 60% over traditional human security guards while providing greater coverage. The cost-effectiveness of VirtuGuard™ makes it an attractive option for businesses looking to enhance their security without breaking the bank.
The VirtuGuard™ Command Center never sleeps, manned with a team of security guards 24/7 ready to respond to alerts on your property. This continuous monitoring ensures that your business is always protected, regardless of the time of day or night. With VirtuGuard™, you can have peace of mind knowing that your security needs are being met around the clock.
