Guards can improve safety and security in their operating areas. Some people may be confused about what these guards actually do. They are not law enforcement officers, and they serve a completely different purpose within the community, by securing private property. (more…)

Special Recognition
Officer Demetrius James is recognized for a Job Well Done! While executing his regular security duties, he was suddenly approached by a tenant, who was unable to breathe. He quickly took action and performed the Heimlich Maneuver on her. A piece of apple was stuck in her throat and by his actions she was able to release the apple. He then called 911. The paramedics arrived and said Security Officer James had saved the woman’s life. The tenant was extremely grateful for Officer James’ responsiveness and ability to save her life.
All of us at Sterling Protective give honor to Officer Demetrius James!
Whether he works at a mall or office building, a security guard has a very important job to do. He has the responsibility of being vigilant and protecting his clientele. All Security companies have to exercise caution, and hire people who are mature and trustworthy, and Sterling Protective Services goes above and beyond in this matter. We believe it is extremely important for a security firm to hire and properly train the right person for the job. Here are five attributes of a great security guard.
1. Alertness
A good security guard is always alert and aware of his surroundings. It is necessary to constantly stay focused and avoid distractions as much as possible, or risk missing something that could prove important. An unobservant officer might easily overlook something that could put lives in jeopardy, or miss out on witnessing a criminal or thief in action. This testimonial highlights an instance when our officers demonstrated alertness to ensure the security of those we protect. (more…)
