Whats happening with us. News Letter

Hello,
I havent been able to write a blog in some time but now i have few mins for it. We have changed few things this year to date with ISS Security providing Security guard and mobile patrol industry.

1. We opened up a security training academy. We do offer Alberta Basic Security Training(ABST), in fact we have taught few sessions. This facility is only in Calgary yet.
2. We actually leased an office in Edmonton now. We have been offering services there thru Calgary office with two supervisors in Edmonton but now we have an office in Edmonton for our local management staff. This step will definitely help our managing staff by increasing there performance and might attach some new clients as well. Our new address is as per below:

15220 Stoney Plain Rd NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5P 3Y4

Security Industry Epidemic - Problems with firms

Problem with Security Industry that has become norm

• Lack of coordination and communication between guards and management side.
• Unmotivated, underpaid, little or no benefits and unqualified guards.
• Absence of training, and post-order resulting in lack of job understanding and their role   as security officer for that specific location.
• Almost no field supervision, site audits or random checks. Guards have very minimal help or guidance available from management to discuss and resolve field problems and in some cases prevention prior to escalation.
•  High guard turnover.
• Company has no control over guards, basically zero enforcement.
•   Sending a constant stream of different guards to the customer can cause significant dissatisfaction.
• Management types in most companies are not management material but rather have risen through the ranks of the companies.

 Mobile Security Patrols

• Issue with MobileSecurity officer is not spending enough times, doing require number of trips, and performing required inspections.

The security guard business should be a highly paid industry, but it’s not and for one reason. Too much competition that keeps contracts depressed. Some companies(mostly new)will  offer any price to get the contract and pay lowest wage without any benefits to increase their profit margin. You cant find good,reliable, and qualified employee at such wages or if you find them cant hang on to them for too long, which leads to turn-over. These are companies that are run by people that don’t really care about the people they employ or the people they work for, just as long as they keep a cash flow going and have minimal tax right offs they will continue to underbid and keep prices depressed.

Please do leave your opinions and feedback or if you believe if there are other factors contributing to this as well.

Mobile Security Services - Calgary

Mobile Security with complete peace of mind - Calgary

ISS Security recently developed a  real-time reporting and location verification technology software for mobile security services. This will enable our clients to have 100% peace of mind. This will eliminate all service problems e.g Less #trips to sites than promised to clients and false reporting,  Improper inspection when on site,. But how? 

We are required to visit at site at onset of new service agreement define a virtual fence for each site, incorporating geofencing concept. We will also be required to set inspection criteria with the help of clients. 

1.  When ISS Security Unit arrives on site, it must pass thru the Geo Fence boundary, which will be stored as arrival time. Similarly, when the unit leaves and passes thru the Geo fence boundary that will stored as departure time. These two times will be used to calculate trip duration. 
2. To restrict false information, mobile security unit must be present within the marked boundaries or virtual fence. Once Security officer attempts to upload information it will match the unit current geo coordinates of mobile unit and Geo coordinates specified initially to set the fence of a specfic site, if they are within the range information will be uploaded if they dont information will be rejected. 
3. Lets say the mobile unit and security guard is present with the virtual fence of a site. Security guard will be granted access to the site and site criteria initially set by client and ISS security consultants. Guard will be able to see that what is expected of him to successfully inspect the property. Then he will upload the required information . As soon as guard hit send the information will be uploaded to the server.
4. Guard can upload different inspection details, pictures, disturbances, his recommendations  and notes.
5. Client will be provided with a username and password, which will allow the client to loin and view information at any time. This provides clients with peace of mind that they can login in any second and received updates from their site. They will be able to know what time the last patrol was performed and what kind of inspections were carried out. If there were any issues or all went well. Client can also request daily email reports for the night.

We provide the quality security patrols with location verification and real-time reports at a very normal cost in the city of Calgary, AB. Our services are very affordable and comforting  to our clients. Call us now to discuss more.
