Office Security In Houston Area

As stated earlier, offices have many people entering and exiting each day. From employees and customers to friends and other individuals, it can be difficult to keep track of who belongs there and who doesn’t. Because of this, it’s crucial to have private security officers at the building entrance to maintain proper access control. This involves not only having an updated list of current tenants and workers, but also creating ID badges for employees and approved visitors, as well as properly checking for appropriate identification, conducting bag searches if required, and other aspects to maintain high levels of security.

As private security has evolved over the years, it has come to rely more and more on the latest technology. Therefore, Ranger Guard and Investigations uses state-of-the-art technology when providing a number of all star security services. As an example, Ranger security patrols, whether on foot or by vehicle, have officers using mobile devices to take photos or videos of areas they have patrolled, then sending the data to a client-only website, where it can be verified patrols took place. Along with this, officers are also trained in how to use high-tech surveillance systems found in office buildings, manufacturing facilities, and other places, enabling them to keep a client’s property, employees, residents, and others as safe as possible.

Along with being thoroughly trained in access control, officers who provide security at office buildings should also have excellent communication skills. Though not employed directly by the company where they are located, they nevertheless are looked upon by visitors as representatives of the office and company. Therefore, all Ranger officers assigned to office security come to these assignments possessing excellent verbal and written communication skills, which include proper telephone etiquette. But along with these skills, officers are also trained in communication skills needed for emergency coordination with first responders, including helping set up a command center and assisting in other ways.

When providing security office environments require guards who not only have the necessary security skills, but also arrive at work presenting a professional appearance at all times. To make sure this occurs, Ranger Guard and Investigations requires all officers to wear police-style uniforms that are always clean and pressed, dark shoes that are neatly polished, and have haircuts and other aspects of their appearance that are deemed to be professional. By doing so, they can combine this with their skills in security, communication, and other areas to make sure they can gain the respect needed to perform their jobs in an effective manner.

In the event an emergency occurs at their office building, Ranger guards are trained in many aspects that will help keep everyone as safe as possible until help arrives. These areas include Anti-Terrorism Tactics, Defensive Techniques, First Aid/CPR, Fire Drills and Evacuations, Elevator Entrapment, Parking Garage Security, and other emergencies that may arise. Since most office buildings contain many floors, officers are thoroughly trained in how to help individuals safely evacuate. This includes special training in helping handicapped and disabled individuals, coordinating multi-floor evacuations, and coordinating with fire, rescue, and law enforcement personnel.

In some Houston office buildings, clients request that officers be armed. This is especially important if the building will be visited regularly by VIPs, has a history of violent encounters, or perhaps is home to expensive artwork or other items. In these situations, the officers assigned to these environments must possess the skills needed to use their weapons in an effective manner, while at the same time exercising good judgement that will keep innocent bystanders and others safe. To make sure this happens, Ranger Guard and Investigations provides extensive training and certification in firearms usage, and also conducts detailed background checks, drug tests, and aptitude testing on these officers. In fact, many officers employed by Ranger possess previous experience in law enforcement and military service, which gives them even more training and experience needed to properly handle these situations.
