Your Reliable Event Security Partner

Who is an IPS Guard?

From armed robberies and shoplifting to drunken brawls, security has long been an issue for many types of businesses and events. Security personnel are always on call when an emergency arises, making sure everything is taken care of as quickly and efficiently as possible. There is always a risk of attack and not everybody can handle this type of job.

At IPS Security, we understand the importance of hiring a security team that has a high level of technical expertise and a thorough understanding of the threat situation. Thus, it is important for our members and aspiring individuals to possess the following qualities:

 

Positive Attitude and Professionalism

Working in this type of position requires working closely with the client. This means that your employer must trust that you are capable of making the best decisions to protect their business and the public. Therefore, it is critical that you present yourself in a professional manner to build and maintain trust.

Outstanding security professionals have a cool and confident demeanor at all times, regardless of the situation. The ability to resolve conflict is critical in situations involving multiple parties. In addition, the ability of security personnel to show respect to those with whom they work is an important part of their job.

Team player

To be effective, security guards must have great camaraderie. The efficiency of a team’s collaboration directly impacts safety standards. Part of a security guard’s work is to be the first responder in any type of incident.

An emergency security guard’s ability to direct individuals safely is vital and leadership requires significantly more teamwork than most people realize. As a leader, you must also be willing to follow and coordinate. Everyone in a company, no matter how big or little, needs a strong leader to keep everyone on track and focused.

Training and Vigilance

A security officer must have a comprehensive knowledge on how to perform security operations. To perform all duties professionally, it is vital to adhere to industry standards and best practices.

It is critical to be able to think quickly and know when to act immediately. A security guard must identify and assess a potential threat or disturbance as quickly and efficiently as possible, taking into account the situation, the people present, and the environment as much as possible.

Lastly, a security staff must be able to make informed decisions about whether something poses a legitimate threat and, if so, how serious the threat is. Rationality is based on the ability to understand the individual components of a situation and predict how it will unfold.

If you know you possess all of these qualities, feel free to contact us on our website and we will get in touch with you as soon as we can.
