With pubs, clubs and entertainment venues gradually re-opening their doors, abuse towards security guards is on the rise.
DAY TO DAY LIFE
The day-to-day life of a guard can in fact be rather dangerous, so it’s inexcusable to see them subjected to such threats and violence.
In recent news, you will see that security guards have been verbally, physically and even racially abused for simply doing their job. Having to deal with thieves, intoxicated people and enforcing age restrictions, this is just one of the many tales of violence security guards face on a daily basis. Alongside the dangers, the job itself tends to entail long hours with impeccable focus in order to remain vigilant throughout the entire shift.
TRAINING AND PROCEDURES
With abuse towards security guards at an all-time high, proper training and preparation can increase the safety for not only guards, but for the general public too. Security guards in the UK have no more rights than the average citizen. However, when applying their training, are able to quickly identify threats and make split-second decisions that could help in diffusing potential incidents. But what else can we do to help diffuse abuse towards security guards? That’s where we come in…
OUR SOLUTION
We’ve created SmartTag®, the all-new handheld forensic spray by SmartWater Group. With an established track record for detecting and deterring criminal activity, our new SmartTag forensic spray has been designed to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour. Therefore helping to reduce abuse towards security guards by providing them with an additional safety and deterrent measure.
Well known to the criminal fraternity, the use of SmartWater forensic liquid is an effective crime deterrent in itself. However, if you were to find yourself in a situation whereby SmartTag should be deployed, all you need to do is aim at the offender and press until all the liquid has been released. By doing so, the liquid inside the canister will tag the offender with a discreet forensic liquid – which cannot be seen to the naked eye. What’s more, only the tiniest speck of our SmartTag liquid is required to link an offender back to the scene of the crime.
THE MAIN AIM
The main aim is to provide security guards with additional protection. Should an incident occur, they can deploy the SmartTag solution which will assist the Police is investigating the incident. SmartTag is compact and easy to use. It boasts a non-threatening appearance, so you can rest assured it will not heighten tension at the scene of an incident.
If you or your business could benefit from using SmartTag and becoming an ELITE, please feel free to contact us.
