The presence of an Armed Security Officer deters and prevents crimes from occurring on your property. With a Security Officer on site, and his/her presence is one that is felt throughout the property, and the effect of that is that most criminals will think more than twice about doing anything illegal. Armed Security Officers at SHS Guards have years of training, and with training comes various methods and techniques of defusing situations that can potentially turn violent. If the situation is dire, and there is a life in danger [that of the Armed Security Officer themselves, and/or a third party] our Security Officers have been thoroughly trained in the use of lethal force for the protection of themselves along with anyone else in harm’s way at the property.
