  1. The Importance of Security Services at Shopping Malls The rising number of security threats in shopping malls has created panic amongst the citizens. It is important for the owners of the malls to re-evaluate their security management, and invest in some reputable security services. Shopping malls are usually crowded with people all the time. Several incidents like theft, robberies, terrorist attacks, and murders have taken place in the malls. With so many people pouring into the mall, and without proper surveillance systems and security measures in place, getting hold of the criminal becomes next to impossible. The mall owners should learn from these incidents and come up with a top-notch security plan to combat and avoid these security issues. Moreover, the size of the shopping mall does not matter, as security risks can be found almost everywhere. If you own a small shopping mall that has a limited amount of stores and assume that you don’t require any security services, then you clearly need to rethink your decision. Criminal activity can occur in the most unexpected of places.

  2. Types of Mall Security Services •CCTV cameras •Smoke alarms •Parking lot security •Fire safety department •Armed or unarmed security personnel •Metal detectors •Security patrol guards •Surveillance systems The Roles of a Security Guard Places like shopping malls are an easy target for criminals, as they can easily blend into the crowd after having fulfilled their purpose. You may never know if the person standing next to you in the queue is a thief or a criminal. Therefore, the presence of a security officer allows the visitors to have a sense of security, and enjoy the time with their family and friends. •A security officer will ensure the overall safety of the mall, which includes checking the alarms and accessing the control systems. •Usually there are two security officers, one that remains inside for patrolling purposes, and the other that stays outside, guarding the entrance. If a suspicious person enters the mall, the officer at the entrance alerts the patrolling officer to keep a close eye on that individual. •Most malls have a security guard standing inside the parking lot as well, as the security risks there are quite high. •In short, they are responsible for creating a peaceful and a safe environment for all the visitors.

  3. Investing your money in a reputable security service provider is very important for the safety of your assets and the people present at your facility. By choosing to hire inexperienced and unreliable security service providers, not only are you wasting your time and money, but also risking the lives of thousands of visitors you have at the mall. A professional security service company, like United Security Services, will offer you armed and unarmed guards, security patrol guards and other types of surveillance services, in order to provide you with optimum protection. Make sure that the guards you are planning to hire have undergone extensive background checks. Moreover, they should be trained and experienced individuals who have the ability to take prompt action when required. Finally, there should be an effective evacuation plan in hand, in order to minimize the damage and prevent the loss of human lives.
