Emergency response is one big benefit of having armed security guards on-site. They can help in the event of an emergency, such as if a member of staff needs medical care. Security guards are often the first ones on the scene. They can also notify first responders of emergencies if further assistance is required. Guards are trained to handle crises, so when the unexpected arises, they’ll be prepared to handle the situation. A security guard’s ability to respond quickly can be instrumental in many scenarios.

Security guards can verify access and ensure that the proper personnel are admitted onto the property for additional security and peace of mind. They can also offer security checks on bags and any suspicious items brought into the facility by personnel or others. These checks have been found to prevent guns and knives from entering facilities.
The presence of armed security guards in your workplace or environment provides the benefit of increased vigilance and consistently keeping watch over faculty and others. Additionally, armed guards can help warn the staff about crime and persistent suspicious activity they may otherwise miss. This assistance can help with everything from stopping theft to helping staff members find needed assistance.
While armed security guards can’t prevent incidents from happening, they can act as a deterrent and a barrier. For example, if a violent outbreak does occur, an armed security guard can safely de-escalate without staff members having to intervene. If a staff member feels threatened, the security guard will be able to assess the situation and provide a greater sense of comfort.
In the event of an incident or an active shooter situation, armed guards can potentially disarm or disable the shooter and help prevent further escalation or potential loss of life. Just the presence of armed security can help deter the occurrence of crime. If a possible threat is considering targeting the facility and sees that armed guards are present, they’ll likely be deterred from entering the location and will think twice before approaching the facility.
