Why Choose Optimum’s Uniformed Security Guard Services?
Visible Deterrence and Crime Prevention
Hiring uniformed security guards creates a powerful criminal deterrent, with their presence discouraging crime. People are less likely to target companies with visible security measures, as they know the chance of getting caught is increased.
Our security guards remain vigilant in monitoring suspicious activity and can respond effectively to emergencies. Their quick response times significantly reduce instances of assault, vandalism, and theft.
Trained for Emergencies and Incident Management
Optimum’s uniformed security guards offer quick response times regarding suspicious activity and emergencies. They are essential in high-crime areas or for businesses operating night shifts. With our highly-trained guards, your company can be confident that all security problems are efficiently and expertly handled.

Comprehensive Duties of Optimum’s Uniformed Security Officers
Site Patrol and Monitoring with Advanced Tools
A uniform security officer is an effective deterrent, providing continuous coverage and vigilance. Our highly trained guards operate across various shifts, including weekends, nights, and holidays. They offer an attentive watch over the locations they protect, ensuring that someone is always watching your business and is ready to respond to threats.
Additional benefits of a security guard are as follows:
- Shorter response times to alarms when compared to police
- Fewer competing responsibilities and a singular focus
Furthermore, security guards can use video surveillance to assist them. It allows them to cover hidden areas and monitor crime more closely. Items like radios, headsets, signal jammers, surveillance cameras and DVRs enable these officers to monitor, enforce rules, respond, and communicate with precision.
Professional Customer Service and Conflict Resolution
Uniformed guards are skilled at providing customer service that makes people feel comfortable, safe, and welcome. They can manage the front desk, greet guests, and provide concierge security.
A security guard’s loss prevention capabilities include skill and knowledge in quickly identifying and responding to security issues. They detect and monitor suspicious activity that can lead to illegal activities or theft. They understand and can assess risks that can result in a loss.

Where You Need Uniformed Security Guard Services
Retail and Commercial Spaces
In retail and commercial settings, security guards play a crucial role in safeguarding both business's and customers’ possessions from theft, fire, assault, and other safety issues. They serve as the “face” of the organization by welcoming guests, acting as brand ambassadors, and ensuring that everyone enjoys a positive shopping experience.
Government Buildings and Public Offices
Government buildings and public offices are frequent targets for violent acts like bomb, phone, and weapons threats, suspicious mail, or chemical/biological threats. Uniformed security guard services monitor, prevent and respond to active and potential threats.
Security guards in this sector provide enhanced security via:
- Surveillance Cameras: These are the best way to protect against outside threats. They can monitor different areas for more significant impact.
- Safety Plans and Alarms: Alarms deter people from tampering with other security measures and alert people of emergencies. Furthermore, guards assist in carrying out occupant emergency plans that employees must follow. These plans minimize panic, making handling the situation more manageable.
- Entrance and Access Control: Access to keycard systems is restricted to qualified personnel. Security officers serve as the first line of defense against intruders.
Industrial and Construction Site Security
Security guards help deter vandalism and theft by serving as a visible presence and remaining alert to suspicious activities and property damage. They create a secure and safe working environment for employees and monitor site access.
Additionally, security guards ensure that your site complies with all relevant regulations and that proper protocols are followed, reducing the risk of legal issues or fines.
