Intervention Service at Company X

Intervention at private security companies has been carried out for more than 25 years. I have been working in the security field for more than 20 years, so I can also draw certain conclusions based on my own experience. In the first part, he presented certain legislation and the need for training for this service. As he has already mentioned, I believe there is too much of this, so that owners of private security companies keep records of when what expires for whom and when training sessions for certain licences will be organised, whilst their own training of employees at the facilities themselves is forgotten. The procedure at the facility and arrival at the facility have remained the same.

Problem

Intervention at private security companies has been carried out for more than 25 years. I have been working in the security field for more than 20 years, so I can also draw certain conclusions based on my own experience. In the first part, he presented certain legislation and the need for training for this service. As he has already mentioned, I believe there is too much of this, so that owners of private security companies keep records of when what expires for whom and when training sessions for certain licences will be organised, whilst their own training of employees at the facilities themselves is forgotten.

I know that some time ago we did not think about how and what would happen in the field of facility security, but despite technology, intervention has remained the same. The equipment has changed in terms of vehicles, lights and weapons.

Solution and Method

The procedure at the facility and arrival at the facility have remained the same. The situation has changed for users, as due to competition and lower product prices, this security is very cheap and almost anyone can afford it. If they once said that private security was a privilege of the rich, this is no longer the case. When we focus on technology itself, I am thinking primarily of the internet or its speed and progress in video systems, and the possibility of accessing various systems via a smartphone. The aim of this thesis was to outline certain requirements in the field of private security and to present that in the field of private security there are no intermediate paths, as a great deal of knowledge and will is required for an individual to successfully carry out intervention at a private security company.

It is true that there will always be exceptions that will seek shortcuts and cheaper solutions for the greatest profit, which is not a rare occurrence in their space, as it seems that everything revolves around the profits of company owners. In ZZasV-1, it would be necessary to add regulations or requirements, especially in the area when we talk about the safety of intervention officers, the number of facilities they cover, and also the size of the territory. If we know that during intervention at a particular burglary alarm facility the security service is not obliged to carry out the latter within a certain time, the intervention officer can also cover a very large area, but everything depends primarily on the owner of the private security company, whether he will cover this territory with only one intervention officer and really provide greater protection to his users or whether he will only look at profit.

There are also insurance companies here, which until now have not caused problems with the payment of damage caused by burglary. Until now, this has somehow been covered and they have become accustomed to satisfying these legal requirements. In his opinion, however, there are fewer and fewer young people who are willing to work in private security, as this profession or its work is at the bottom of their social ladder.

Even now, despite all the requirements written by the state, security guards are looked upon as lazy and unqualified workers who are simply not useful for anything other than security, or they look at a security guard as someone who goes to work to rest. Unfortunately, those who amended ZZasV in 2011 deleted the previously required level of education and thus set the education criterion at a very low level, whilst on the other hand prescribing a great deal of additional training or education. His thesis was to present the conditions and work of an intervention security guard. In addition, he provided certain guidelines on how to carry out security of certain facilities in the future – as well as possible and at low cost, whilst complying with all requirements.

Today we have a very large number of suppliers of facility security equipment and, of course, security services on the market. We only carry out supervision over what the law prescribes, but we do not also focus on the aspect of user safety of certain services. As he has already mentioned in the thesis, I believe that the future of security lies in so-called drones, as we can achieve a great deal with little cost.

At this point, he will not describe how it is possible to disable certain systems and where the shortcomings of certain equipment are. We are fortunate that Slovenia is a very safe country, not because well-equipped and trained police units and all other services connected with security deserve credit for this, but because it is simply uninteresting to others, which is of course good for us and I very much hope that it remains so. One of the interesting offers in the near future in the field of private security will certainly also be facility security with a drone, as the price is acceptable and in his experience a very good solution, especially in more remote areas where security services are not present due to economic considerations.

I hope that with this discussion he has also helped some future owner who is interested in security and would like to establish his own company, as he has in one place quite a few guidelines on how to act and what to focus on.
