Los Angeles Calling security stepped up after Manchester, England terror attacks

http://www.mysecurityguards.com/

Law enforcement around the world, including security guardcompanies in Los Angeles, are on alert following the deadly terror attack at an Ariana Grande Concert in Manchester, England.
The attack, which killed more than 20 people and injured nearly 60 more, happened as concert-goers were leaving the venue.
It also comes at a time when Los Angeles is heading into its busy summer concert season, which begins Memorial Day Weekend.
Citiguard is aware of the incident and we're working to arrange a strong plan for this Memorial Day weekend. Protecting the health, safety, and welfare of our clients is Citiguard’s top priority.
Citiguard’s security guards are watching closely how the investigation unfolds in Manchester. Whenever there's an incident that happens globally or nationally, we always look and see if there are any lessons that we need to learn, we make adjustments if we need to make adjustments and we have a strong plan in place and we're comfortable that we've done with the arrangements that we need to do.
Citiguard has a long history of dealing with major events on a national level and we have a really good track record with these events.

High Rise & Office Building Security


High-rises present a unique set of challenges regarding safety and security

The need for security guards at large complexes, especially high-rise buildings, is extremely important and Citiguard is here for all of your security needs. When an issue arises, the on-site security guard will often be the first responder. Having an on-site specialized high-rise security guard will help make the tenants and guests feel well-protected at all times and will act as a deterrent to any trespassers and/or terrorist acts. Not only will Citiguard help ensure the safety of the tenants and guests, but we will also detour any and all trespassers with access control to all exterior doors and common areas tracking what is coming in and leaving the premises.
Citiguard high-rise security officers Los Angeles help protect buildings 24/7 with the help of CCTV, are specifically selected for their people skills and then trained to provide security in a high-rise. Their standard 40 hours of training include first-aid/CPR, weaponless self-defense, ways to handle potentially physical confrontations without using force, how to be an effective witness in court, bomb detection and earthquake preparedness. In a high-rise building, the best place to go in an emergency is almost always down the stairs. Citiguard security protection guards are responsible for many evacuation details as spelled out in the Emergency Plan filed with the local Fire Department. Each security protection guard has an area of responsibility that also overlaps into other areas so that there is intentional redundancy.
The level of security at a high-rise business building or luxury high-rise apartment complex can be extremely high, not only for the property owner/management company but for the tenants as well. It is extremely important for the tenants, guests and staff to feel safe and Citiguard is here to make that happen. With specific high-rise security training, superior customer service, and proper telephone etiquette, your tenants, guests and staff will feel more at ease knowing a security guard from Citiguard is onsite at all times. Our security guards are trained in Behavior Detection. Having received specialized high-rise security protection training, our security guards are trained and ready to watch for suspicious behavior.
Once suspicious behavior is noticed, it is the security guards job to “be nice” by confusing and delaying the individual. A terrorist does not want to be bothered, they are dialed in to whatever it is that their plan is and does not want to be distracted. A simple, “where are you headed today” and other “acts of kindness” will give our security guards the time to notice a change in behavior whether it is verbal or non verbal. Several of our clients that have switched to Citiguard, their insurance premiums were lowered drastically because of the Behavior Detection training these security guards possess.
Once Citiguard meets with the property management company, together, we will come up with a strategic security plan with personalized post orders, an emergency evacuation plan, a personalized schedule, daily activity reports and much more to fit all of your security needs.
We offer a full menu of services and programs to support our high-rise and office building clients.
