Who, what, where, when? If you have the first three down, the fourth and final question rounds out the parameters of the subject at hand. In the case of assessing private security needs, the “who”, “what”, and “where” need addressing, but also, just as importantly, the “when” is critical, meaning, at what times do you need private security?
Scheduling private security allows you to hire the appropriate staff and monitoring devices based on times of day, week, month, or year. By strategically scheduling your private security personnel and tracking machinery, you will accomplish three goals:
1. Provide peace of mind for those you are protecting. When the people you’re your building, venue, or residence get used to the security staff and tracking equipment schedules, they can rest assured of protection. At the same time, they can know if something is off and can alert the powers that be if the level of security doesn’t seem fitting for the time frame.
2. Confuse perpetrators. By staggering your security personnel at seemingly randomly-scheduled times, any illicit premeditative plans can be better thrown off.
3. Save Costs. By hiring only who you really need, when you need them, you can save on wages.
To understand your time frames for private security, you’ll take into consideration foot and automobile traffic, valuables, and VIP schedules. There may be routine schedules, pinpointed times of need, or a combination.
As part of your private security plan, the scheduling of security staff can be a solid way to truly assess your needs. It might take some research to really know what you need, and at which times of day, week, month or year. Once you have a handle on your best private security staff schedule, you’ll have a sense of control (and consequently relief) because you’ll have a plan.
