When it comes to reducing your spending on security you have to change your mentality and move away from the idea that quantity over quality is the way to go, instead invest your money in a company that utilises staff with emergency service backgrounds.
It is only human nature that when given the opportunity to spend a similar amount on either hiring two run of the mill security officers over one operative that possess extra core skills that you will be drawn to the conclusion that greater numbers is the way to go.
It takes a massive leap of faith to get away from the idea that two are better than one but you must understand that a highly skilled individual can offer and do so much more.
As stated at the beginning of this article the person who can fulfil this requirement has to come from the emergency services, as their core skills of trauma management, advanced driver training and experience garnered from daily incidents not only compliments but enhances the security side perfectly.
Admittedly you may not immediately see the relevance of such skills but remember that many run of the mill events have the potential for far greater consequences and hiring someone with their knowledge and experience gives you the option of dealing with any and all possible eventualities.
You have to ask yourself this; can run of the mill security operatives deal with the outbreak of a fire or implement triage should there be a need or can they be trusted to drive a client about should they require it?
In summary, the right choice of security person will give you an operative who is professional, dedicated and highly skilled, proving a credit to you and your event.
