Security Strategies
We don’t always know what our potential clients want within their security hire. But there are many strategies we, at XPressGuards, use to understand their needs. Here are four approaches we take to get to know more about your business.
Research is Key
Everyone knows that having more information is a plus. If your company is not within an industry we worked with before, we always do our homework. We research the most common incidents that occur and work on strategies that can prevent/fix them. As a prospect, you will see how our trained staff is equipped for the job. You can trust us with your contract.
Property Visits and Walk-Ins Before Receiving The Contract
We offer walk-ins when requested. Walk-ins allow us to show demos of our company’s procedures, our incident reporting structure, and any other relevant information you need us to provide. They also give you an opportunity to share information about the layout of your property, incidents that may occur, etc.
Networking
Personal connections are the best way for people to find our company. There are a lot of networks that allow us to meet people who may need our security services. You can connect with us on social media to learn more about our services, announcements, and events.
Great Training Programs
Being equipped is one of our biggest selling points. We have a well-trained team of security professionals who are always ready to perform their duties. We ensure our security officers receive the best training on new trends in the industry. At XPressGuards, we understand the importance of a good strategy. That’s why we are constantly educating our staff about new services and trends within the industry.
FAQ’s About Security Strategies
What is a layered security strategy?
It combines physical guards, access control, lighting, cameras, and trained response procedures. XPressGuards builds each layer to overlap, so if one element fails, the others keep your site protected 24/7.
How do I conduct a basic security risk assessment?
Walk the property at night, note dark corners, broken locks, and blind spots, then list past incidents. XPressGuards takes this data, adds crime statistics, and delivers a written risk report with prioritized fixes.
What role do security guards play in a modern strategy?
Guards are the human intelligence layer. They deter threats, adjust patrol patterns, and respond faster than any camera. XPressGuards officers also log incidents that help refine future tactics.
How can technology boost guard effectiveness?
Mobile apps with GPS checkpoints, live CCTV feeds, and instant alert buttons turn every guard into a connected command center. XPressGuards provides all tech and training at no extra charge.
What is the typical price range for a complete security strategy?
Most businesses invest between twenty and fifty dollars per guard per hour, plus one-time setup fees for cameras or access systems. Monthly packages for combined services fall between two thousand and eight thousand dollars depending on site size.
How often should security strategies be reviewed?
Quarterly reviews are best practice. XPressGuards schedules walk-throughs every 90 days, compares incident logs to crime trends, and updates patrol routes or staffing levels as needed.
Can strategies be scaled for small businesses?
Yes. A single guard on mobile patrol or a weekend lockup check can be the perfect starter plan. As your company grows, XPressGuards adds posts, cameras, and hours without breaking your budget.
What is the fastest way to improve security overnight?
Add uniformed guards and improve lighting. XPressGuards can deploy a guard team tonight and supply temporary LED floodlights tomorrow, cutting overnight crime risk by more than half.
How do I train employees to support the strategy?
We offer free 15-minute safety briefings and tabletop drills. Guards teach staff how to spot suspicious behavior, report incidents, and respond during emergencies.
