Although everyone would like to think they have sufficient security protection, whether personal or for their business, one of the highest requests for private security services is after an occurrence. Post-threat security guards are in high demand, and it is essential to have a provider at the ready to dispatch high quality and emergency trained officers promptly and ready to hit the ground running.
Emergency Response Security Services
Emergencies are called emergencies because they don’t come with a warning. A violent outburst in the workplace and a public event gone awry can threaten the safety of people and have even greater consequences if left unaddressed. Having access to trained and skilled security officers who arrive on the scene ensures these situations don’t escalate and recur. Trained officers in post-threat scenarios maintain calmness, order, and continued authority that keep crowds controlled. It is critical to have security guards on location within hours of an event like this, and instantly, a site can be secure, protecting people and surrounding properties. It is in these instances that every minute counts, which is why Off Duty Officers have a nationwide presence, and post-threat professional security guards are ready to go.

Immediate Dispatch to Large Cities
Los Angeles is one of the cities we serve regularly in post-threat and last-minute security needs. The amount of activity in this city, and others like it, leaves it vulnerable to more threats due to the high density of residents, businesses, and visitors. Whether you need VIP security for a guest, protection over a high-rise corporate lobby on Wilshire, or security guards on set after a threatening email, we have you covered.
Workplace Violence Scenarios
In some cases, employers are able to identify high-risk employees. When a termination is imminent, some businesses choose to have private security on-site to ensure it doesn’t become disruptive to the business or dangerous for anyone at work. However, there are times when nobody sees it coming, and a termination turns ugly. Security guards who can arrive, ready to go, and trained in this environment can calm things down, get the terminated employee off the premises, and protect the people and property. If customers are present, this effort is even more critical to a company’s reputation. Time matters, and these individuals must be safely removed and all property returned before they leave. This burden should not fall on anyone not trained to handle violent workplace occurrences.
Last Minute High Profile Guests
Personal security details have saved lives and can be the best solution for last-minute attendees at business or public events. One high-profile or controversial guest can suddenly escalate the threat and risks immediately. If you find yourself struggling to accommodate a last-minute attendee, guest,, or VIP, working with a fully staffed, skilled security service can alleviate stress and worry about maintaining a secure environment for your VIPs and other attendees.
Supplementing Law Enforcement Efforts
Large events often have law enforcement officers on site, but in situations where something unexpected breaks out or a threat comes to light, law enforcement alone may not be able to cover all security needs, which is where qualified security officers can fill the gaps. Security guards do not replace law enforcement, but they can be a perfect supplement after a threat or incident and in emergencies.
Emergency security guards can detain individuals but must immediately call the police. Security guards' post threat multiplies efforts of crowd observation and identifying individuals involved in the threat, or who supported any crimes. The role of emergency and post-threat security guards requires them to be licensed, certified, and insured. Off-Duty Officers do extensive background checks and evaluations to ensure only the top officers are dispatched in these critical scenarios.
