Choosing the Right Guard & Patrol Company
The responsibilities assigned to contract uniformed guard companies have increased in light of the increased vulnerabilities faced by commercial, industrial, institutional & private community guard services users. So has the evaluation process, as users need to create service partnerships based upon higher performance levels. Here are some suggestions regarding how to get the best value for your investment.

Understand How A Contract is Constructed
A company's contract rate is based mostly around the wages paid to their guards. Real value can be determined by looking at the base rate, and its ability to attact good candidates. Factor in the comprehensiveness of the company's professional liability insurance. Rates may also differ for line guards, those with specialized training, and site supervisors.

Consider the High Cost of Turnover
Turnover increases re-training and familiarization requirements, detracts from focus, and often results in serious lapses of the quality and continuity of your security plan. Turnover cannot be completely avoided, but can be held to a minimum if the company’s candidate selection, training and compensation programs are well designed.
