I recently opened a small store, and theft was always at the forefront of my mind. Despite having cameras and alarms, I realized that having someone on-site could prevent most issues. I wasn’t sure if hiring a part-time staff member would suffice or if I needed to hire a professional.
After looking at several options, I learned that a trained guard can spot suspicious behavior, respond immediately to incidents, and provide a sense of safety that technology alone cannot. This reduces stress for employees, allowing them to focus on customers instead of worrying about security.
Hi all! I eventually arranged for a security guard to monitor the premises. Their presence made a huge difference. The employees felt safer, the risk of theft decreased, and even regular customers commented that the environment felt more secure. Having a professional on site brought me peace of mind that I hadn't realized I needed before.
