Reducing the cost of expenditure on your security needs does not necessarily mean going to the cheapest security company you can find, instead it refers to exercising some common sense and employing a security company whose staff offer extra skills that cannot be matched by foundation level security operatives.
It is only human nature that when given the opportunity to spend a similar amount on either hiring two run of the mill security officers over one operative that possess extra core skills that you will be drawn to the conclusion that greater numbers is the way to go.
To understand why this thought process is wrong requires that you know why a single security operative has so much more to offer and how they are capable of providing a service that makes them a better choice overall.
It is stated at the start of this article that the person best suited to filling this role has to have a background formed in the emergency services, as their superior driving, trauma and fire safety knowledge not only compliments but also enhances their security abilities.
You may not immediately see the importance of employing a security member of this ilk but having someone of their calibre at your event gives you many more options and should there be an minor incident, they will be on hand to stop it escalating into a major crisis.
You have to ask yourself this; can run of the mill security operatives deal with the outbreak of a fire or implement triage should there be a need or can they be trusted to drive a client about should they require it?
In a nutshell, with the right security officer in place you will have an ambassador for your company and event who will come across as being capable, professional and dedicated.
