I’m a Security Guard – Help me out here

As a pivotal part of the extended police family private security guards are likely to be the first and only reactive measure to often fast-paced and potentially high risk situations.

Frequently deployed alone the uniformed presence carries with it the business standing of the employer, the commercially sensitive character of the client and the often daunting demands of staff & customers alike. Endowed with the basics of powers security operatives are nonetheless expected to remain vigilant and if the need arises act with a degree of immediacy whilst remaining mindful of the law, operational policies and maintaining a calm & reasoned approach.

During his academic research into the UK guarding sector Ian Kirke LLB (Hons) reviewed many strands of evidence including face to face interviews with a number of key players, from client executives through to security managers, security guards and offenders too. The most obvious cause for concern was the difficulty regularly faced by frontline security professionals in determining and justifying their decisions leaving all stakeholders in often vulnerable positions.
