According to OSHA, it’s estimated that nearly two million Americans deal with workplace violence each year. Your security team plays an integral role in workplace violence preparedness and prevention, as well as maintaining personnel safety. By working in tandem, security and organizational management can educate employees and tenants, prepare a response plan and implement preventive measures.
There are unique challenges to managing safety and security across several facilities or geographic locations. Whether the focus is on accounting for tight budgets, overseeing strict compliance regulations or implementing best practices, security is at its best when it’s consistent and streamlined.
Responsible organizations place security high on the priority list. Physical security has always been a concern and is well handled by those savvy enough to retain companies like Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø to give them an across-the-board comfort level.

As more and more dogs take part in combat, the long-term impact of these experiences on canines has become a topic of interest.
Security is an essential part of your business and should reflect the distinct dynamics of your particular industry.

This requires a dedicated team of security professionals who recognize the importance of your culture and will work hard to protect your brand.
