Protection industry must ‘avoid relying on tech’

Advancements in security systems are no replacement for security guards

Technology is advancing rapidly, and its impact on the security industry is significant. However, experts warn that the protection industry must avoid relying too heavily on technology and that security guards remain essential for providing a comprehensive and effective security solution.

The role of security guards

Security guards play a vital role in the protection of people and property. They provide a visible deterrent to crime, as well as a rapid response to incidents. They can also provide customer service and support, and help to create a safe and welcoming environment.

The limitations of technology

While technology can be a valuable tool for security guards, it is important to remember that it has limitations. Technology can fail, and it can be expensive to install and maintain. It can also be difficult to integrate different technologies into a comprehensive security system.

Most importantly, technology cannot replace the human element of security. Security guards are able to make judgments and take action that technology cannot. They are also able to interact with people in a way that technology cannot.

The need for a balanced approach

The best approach to security is a balanced one that combines technology with human security guards. Technology can be used to enhance the capabilities of security guards, and security guards can be used to ensure that technology is used effectively.

By working together, technology and security guards can create a more secure environment for everyone.
