What Additional Eyes and Ears Means to Texas Businesses Sep 25, 2015
Locally, there are only about 30 law enforcement officers for every 10,000 people. With almost 300,000 square miles of land to protect, Texas police and state troopers have a tough job. Not only do they have a lot of ground to cover, they might not always know what to expect when they arrive on scene.
Both businesses and local law enforcement are under pressure to bridge gaps in manpower and coverage. They both seek force multipliers, additional eyes and ears and on-site presence that can make the difference in law enforcement response time in the event of an incident. This is a primary reason businesses hire private security companies like Smith Protective Services. 1301 S. IH-35, Suite 100 ● Austin, Texas 78741 ● (512) 467-2590 ● Fax (512) 467-7625 www.smithprotective.com
Private security staff aides law enforcement as that extra pair of eyes and ears to help spot suspicious activity and report to proper law enforcement. A security officer’s simple act of observing and reporting suspicious activity gives law enforcement agencies a chance to better allocate its resources.
One of the most efficient private security methods is to utilize both video and physical surveillance. This allows for 24-hour monitoring from multiple angles of the property or neighborhood. Some of the Smith Electronic Security devices include: Video Tracking, Object Detection, Facial Recognition, Motion Detection and Tamper Detection. Any of those can be viewed by smartphone and alert you automatically when there’s an intrusion.
Does your business seek the advantages of private security? Smith Protective Services has been focused on helping watch over Texas since 1903. We are privately owned and have a long tradition of being those extra eyes and ears for business owners and law enforcement. i
