Public urged to be cautious with security companies offering low prices

Posted on February 18, 2015, Wednesday

     

PUTRAJAYA: Members of the public are reminded to be cautious with security companies offering security services at very low and unreasonable prices.

Home Ministry Senior Deputy Secretary-General (Security) Datuk Seri Adenan Ab Rahman in a statement yesterday said the reminder was being made due to the possibility that such companies may be operating illegally.

He said private companies, shopping centres, residents’ associations and housing management bodies should ensure that only licensed and capable security companies were allowed to provide security services.

Adenan was responding to a newspaper reports on security licence leasing activity and illegal security guards yesterday and on Monday.

He said besides employing local security guards, security companies could hire Nepalese who have passed the ministry’s and police’s screening process.

He said usually security companies using leased licenses would employ illegal foreign security guards or locals with unknown background and even having criminal records due to the lower cost.

“The ministry reminds the companies not to focus solely on making profits to the extent of neglecting their original objectives to provide protection and safety to the people and their properties and businesses,” he said.

He said since last year, the ministry had revoked the licences of 24 security companies for various offenses included leasing their security licences. — Bernama

Top 10 Duties of a Security Guard

Dear readers, 

I got this article from one of the Security guard company outside Malaysia.  What they write here is exactly the outmost important responsibility of Security Guards.

Top 10 Duties of a Security Guard

1.  To be clearly visible

One of the duties of a security guard is to make his or herself clearly visible, as this would deter criminals. Most burglars, shoplifters, muggers, and other criminals would think twice if they see a security guard on duty. So, being visible is one of the ways by which a security guard foils theft, damage, personal injury, and other dastardly acts.

2.  To be vigilant

A security guard watches out for any strange thing that may mean harm. For this reason, he must have very keen senses of sight, hearing, and smelling. He should be able to smell it when a cable is burning or when a chemical is leaking from its container. He should be able to detect strange sounds, such as when someone is secretly trying to open a door. He should be able to sense it when someone is cleverly trying to divert his attention off his duty. And he should be able to interpret quickly whatever he sees. So based on these responsibilities, someone who is short-sighted or long-sighted won’t make a good security guard.

3.  To respond quickly and correctly during crisis

Not only does a security guard sense crisis; he acts fast to control the situation. So, a security guard must always be at alert to avoid being caught unawares. How a security guard responds to crisis varies depending on the threat. A security guard must know how best to respond to various dangerous situations.

4.  Observing and reporting

Even after a dangerous situation has been successfully averted, a security guard must not relax yet. He should keep observing until he is sure that there are no more problems. After a crisis, a security guard should report the incident to his supervisor, the police or the appropriate authorities (such as the fire services in the case of a fire outbreak). This way, further steps would be taken to avert a future recurrence.

5.  Getting help

During some very dangerous situations (such as armed robbery attacks or assaults with deadly weapons), a security guard may be unable to handle the situation. In that case, he would need some help, and he should waste no time in calling the police. By getting help this way, loss of lives or property would be averted.

6.  Checking and monitoring

Sometimes, a security guard would be required to maintain certain rules and policies as laid down by his employer. Individuals may require that visitors be searched before granted entry or that only visitors for which an appointment has been earlier fixed should be granted entry. Similarly, organizations may require their employees to show their ID cards before being granted entry into the work premises. In such cases, a security guard must check and ensure that all the rules and obeyed.

7.  Maintain order among people

Security guards are usually present in large gatherings, such as parties and political or religious assemblies. This is to ensure the safety of lives and property and also to prevent stampedes and breakdown of law and order.

8.  Receiving guests

If a security guard positions at an entrance, chances are, he will double as a receptionist because he is usually the first to receive guests and show them their way. This additional duty requires a security guard to be very friendly, approachable, and willing to help others.

9.  Offer safety warnings and tips

Among the responsibilities of the security guard is to give tips and precautions to his employers on how to prevent security-threatening situations. He should also explain the likely consequences of ignoring these tips, as a way of convincing his employers to adhere to his advice. In addition, a security guard should do his best to ensure that all safety precautions are adhered to.

10. Performing other special duties

Some security guards, especially those hired by individuals, do more than their primary duty most of the time. They may be saddled with additional responsibilities, such as receiving phone calls, responding to text and email messages, and running vital errands for their employer. If you are planning to take up a full-time or part-time security guard job, keep in mind that you will be required to perform these duties.

Benefits of Professional Security Guard Services

Why it is a Good Idea to Hire Professionally Trained Security Guard

There should be nothing more important than hiring professional security guard services to ensure the safety of your properties (Building, Office, Construction, Factory, Residential). Any organisation will need to deal with the terrifying reality that they or you could be a target for criminal activities – be it for office equipment, legal or private documents or even valuables such as jewellery or technology. Security Guard act as a visible deterrent to any criminals. They maintain the security of your building and can assist customers and employees (in a retail or office setting) by escorting customers or employees to their cars or ensuring that they can be confident that their safety is in capable hands.

Benefits of Professional Security Guard Services:

1. Provides you with physical security.
They give a feeling within the work place that everything is secure, in their place and nothing wrong is happening because they are under the watch of security guard. It gives them comfort that somebody is standing by ready to respond to any security situation.

2. Security Guards are masters of their assigned posts.
Aside from their orientation, security guards become acquainted in their workplace through their regular inspection as roving sentries. They are aware of all the comings and goings of their environment and they know even the most inconspicuous passageways in your company. These knowledge are crucial especially during dire times.

3. They can assess danger.
Because they are professionally trained and are always practising “situational awareness,” they can sense tell-tale signs of clear and present danger. Crime prevention within your establishment is a piece of cake if you have security guards in your perimeter. In dire times of calamity and conflict, they are the ones that lead your people towards safety.

4. They are deterrent to criminals – Having security guards in your doors or roving in your company leaves an impression that your security is not lax.
It provides an impression to the criminals that you are ready to fight back whenever necessary. One thing impressive about security guards is that even when the odds are against them, they won’t go down without putting up a good fight.

5. Security guards provide “extra” customer care.
There had been a lot of times when security guards were called upon not to apprehend an erring person but to assist people. They provide an extra helping hand in the work place. They are aware of the concept of “customer care” and “customer satisfaction”

6. They are your soldiers and policemen.
Consider your workplace as a community. Every community needs some sort of peacekeeper or law enforcer in their vicinity. This is the job of security guards. They enforce company policies, and they protect the security of your premises from sabotage or any other type of physical harm.
