Benefits of Hiring Licensed Security Guards in Charlotte

Your business can benefit from private security services offered by BlackStone Security Group in several ways. The biggest benefit is the sense of security your employees and customers will enjoy.

Fast Response Time

Hiring a security guard to watch over your business property can also increase the response time to any security issues that may occur. While it may take several minutes for local police to arrive, a security guard is already on your business property and can immediately apprehend a suspect. Although a security guard does not have the authority to arrest someone, the guard can keep the suspect on the property until the police or other proper authorities arrive.

Hiring a few state-certified security guards to patrol your business can be a smart idea if you want to reduce security risks, deter crime, handle security matters immediately, or de-escalate security situations before the police arrive. Both your customers and your employees will feel safer when your business is protected by trained professionals.

Benefits of Licensed Security Guard in Charlotte and Asheville

On Mission

Security guards are charged with the safety and protection of individuals and private property for the purpose of preventing unlawful activity, such as harassment, theft, and vandalism. The basic duties of a security officer include crime deterrence, observation and detection of suspicious activity, and reporting unlawful activity to law enforcement. The requirements to become a licensed security officer in North Carolina include:

Basic Requirements

Applicants will need to meet certain requirements to complete state-certified training. These basic requirements include being at least 18 years old, completing a background check and fingerprint collection, and having a valid North Carolina ID card or driver’s license. Individuals who have been convicted of a serious crime may need to take extra steps, such as completing an application to have criminal records sealed after 10 years of crime-free behavior.

Training Course

All security officers will need to complete a 16-hour pre-assignment training course. This is an introductory class that outlines the duties and expectations for security officers. After completing this course, individuals will need to submit the course certificate along with applications for security officer positions.

On-the-Job Training

Most security officers receive extensive on-the-job training. If you are a new security officer, then you will need to complete 20 days of on-the-job training as an employed security guard. This training must be completed within 90 days of the security officer’s employment date.

Annual In-Service Training

Security officers will also need to complete a four-hour annual in-service training course each year. This training keeps state certifications active. Armed guards must re-qualify once per year.

Firearm Training

If an individual wants to become an armed security guard, it’s necessary to undergo firearm training, which involves obtaining a valid pistol license in North Carolina. They must also complete a 24-hour firearm training course designed for security officers before applying for a Special Armed Guard Registration. Annual training must be completed each year for armed guards.

Actively Deter Crime

Hiring security guards on staggered shifts can actively deter crime at your business. The sight of a security guard can discourage thieves and vandals, helping to prevent petty crimes. Security guards are also trained to detect suspicious activity, allowing for proactive measures to resolve issues before crimes occur. Regular inspections can identify security risks and help prevent loss of assets.
