Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key advantages of employing armed versus unarmed security guards for our Los Angeles bank?
A: The highest level of Force Protection, providing the ultimate deterrent as well as safeguarding for high threat locations and those with large cash volumes. UnArmed Bank Security Services deliver a strong and visible deterrent, professional service with a human touch and effective incident management in standard-risk branches where the Service can be more readily approachable. The answer depends on a risk assessment of your type of LA location.
Q: How, then, does the presence of a security guard serve to prevent crime on the premises of a bank?
A: Trained security officers are not physical technology, but a living human deterrent. And their physical appearance indicates to would-be offenders the site is under continual surveillance and any criminal activity will be resisted and reported without delay. This changes the public’s perceived threat dramatically, and your branch becomes a less enticing location to the bad guys looking for a robbery, vandalism or even fraud.
Q We need to find a Los Angeles bank security guard, but what qualifications are we specifically seeking?
A: In addition to state licensing, seek guards with any extra training in financial institution security, crisis de-escalation and medical response (First Aid/CPR/AED). They also need to have a clean record, strong observation skills and the ability to be a part of your active security force. At Dragon Eye Security, all of our staff meets and exceeds these standards along with additional training on Los Angeles protocols and coordination with the LAPD.
Q: Can you sync up to our bank’s security cameras and access systems?
A: Absolutely. Our guards are qualified to use and supervise many types of security equipment. With an easy ability to integrate into your existing CCTV, alarm and access control systems we can form part of a single security front – making sure that all fronts are working together to protect your bank.
Q: How do you decide how many guards and where they should work in our branch?
A: This is established as part of our in-home estimator. Included in this is an analysis of your branch’s layout (both inside and out), daily average transaction volume, peak traffic hours, local crime reports and vulnerable assets. This gives us an ability to draft a tailored plan with ideal guard positioning (lobby entry, teller line monitoring and patrolling routes) for the most thorough and effective coverage at your particular Los Angeles site.
