Demand for Security Guard Training is on the Rise

Security Guard Training

• One of the definitions of the word security is
  precautions taken to guard against crime, attack,
  sabotage, espionage and so on. This was never
  been more important than now. The attacks on the
  WTC or 9/11 spawned a multi- billion dollar
  security industry. This is not to say that there
  was no security consciousness before this. But
  the need was felt almost on an emergency level
  post 9/11.
• Every industry, every building whether private or
  public suddenly realized the need for Security
  guard training and this awareness of security
  filtered down to the individual level. The huge
  demand created a problem of finding trained
  professionals to manage the security
  requirements. New security companies sprang up
  while the existing companies ramped up their
  workforce. Just providing manpower for the
  security duties wasn't enough. Trained workforce
  was the key to winning contracts which gave rise
  to the security guard training schools.

• A new avenue for employment opened up and only
  trained personnel made the grade. Up to now such
  training was given to the military and police
  forces. Specialized training was evolved to suit
  industry and private requirements since the need
  for these services enveloped the various fields
  stretching from real estate, healthcare,
  transportation, entertainment among others.
• The world today lives in fear of terrorist
  attacks from fundamentalist elements. Rogue
  elements in society have become opportunist,
  trying to capitalize on the fear element of the
  people.
• Career opportunities in security, both operations
  and training, have underlined the need for
  professionally trained enforcement personnel.
  Security guard training institutes became a new
  line of business. Ex-servicemen and former law
  enforcement personnel found opportunities post
  their retirement, if they were in a state of good
  health. Consultancy on security guard training
  also became a job opportunity.

• Unlike earlier times when guards were employed
  mainly because of their physical qualifications,
  these days the recruitment process has become
  more evolved and professional. It has also become
  more lucrative and therefore attracts better
  quality personnel. It is no longer considered a
  last option career opportunity. People who have
  undergone security guard training always have an
  edge over the untrained.
• Security guard training is not just a one-time
  affair, it is a continuous one. Constant updating
  of the skills due to changes in the security
  environment is essential. The guard will be
  continually monitored on his skill, knowledge and
  his physical state of readiness. This is also
  another business opportunity onsite training and
  auditing.
