Private security is the preferred option for companies seeking the protection they need. To contain high crime rates, public law enforcement alone is sometimes not enough.
Private security is the preferred option for companies seeking the protection they need. To contain high crime rates, public law enforcement alone is sometimes not enough.
But for it to be truly effective, you need to choose the type of private security that fits the company, person or need of whoever hires it. That's because this kind of service depends on the activity or environment in which it is provided.
That's what we see constantly at HUNTER across thousands of clients. As a result, we've developed a wide range of services that also allows us to select the right security guards for each situation.
In general, private security is made up of all the tools, resources and personnel of a private company dedicated to protecting and safeguarding the people, property and assets of a business, individual or home.
In practical terms, however, private security is most commonly associated with the guards who provide surveillance and security services. These guards are trained to operate equipment and handle situations according to the site they are protecting.
You're likely to come across security guards in many situations, and in the Dominican Republic this is very common. But just as you find them in different settings, these guards must have or develop different skills that make them right for the job.
The first classification is based on this. Security is also classified according to the location of the property or person that needs protection.
This type of guard requires strong organizational skills. To begin with, they must be able to guide people around the event venue.
They must also be able to manage large crowds. You'll find them at major concerts as well as at small, exclusive gatherings that require maximum security.
Lobby guards are stationed at the entrance of a commercial or residential building. They are responsible for requesting identification to access the building and for monitoring the internal cameras.
They sometimes use metal detectors or other methods to help identify who comes in or goes out. They also respond immediately to violations of security rules.
Bodyguards personally protect people of high social or political standing, artists, diplomats and senior executives. They travel with them wherever they go and sometimes serve as drivers.
They must have special training to protect their clients from everyday situations that pose a threat to their safety. At times, they are also responsible for protecting high-value items such as jewelry or museum pieces while they are being moved.
That's why we see bodyguards assigned to Hollywood celebrities when they wear extremely valuable jewelry at award ceremonies and other events.
In security patrols, guards use cars and motorcycles to constantly monitor properties. Sometimes they simply stand by to respond to alarm activations. Either way, they are always watching over their assigned area.
Internal security takes place inside a building, home, business or any other property. It relies on security cameras, guards, alarms and any electronic device that makes the job easier.
Here, private security is used to protect areas near or adjacent to the property. The most effective tools are security cameras, complemented by guards and other electronic equipment that communicates with internal security.
This is used for cash-in-transit and valuables transport. It's usually banks or companies that handle large amounts of money and need the support of security companies to move those valuables. The guards are armed and highly trained to deal with adverse situations.
At HUNTER, we are a private security team that covers multiple methods. We use high-tech equipment and provide our own training to all of our security guards.
