The Benefits of Armed Versus Unarmed Security Guards Who Serve in the State of Oklahoma

When companies, nonprofit organizations, and governmental agencies are debating whether to hire unarmed security guards or armed security guards to serve in Oklahoma, which should they choose?  The matter is really an important decision that deserves great consideration.  Employers have many factors to consider, and their ultimate decisions often greatly affects both their corporate pocketbooks and the safety of their facilities. 

One obvious point of consideration is the cost factor.  It goes without saying that Oklahoma’s employers are always seeking to cut costs and increase their profit margin.  Since unarmed security guards tend to cost less than armed security guards, hiring an unarmed Oklahoma security guard might seem to make better sense.  However, such a decision, while sometimes well-intentioned and necessary, is not always the best one.

Unarmed security guards are not licensed to carry firearms in Oklahoma.  If someone starts shooting others at an event, school, at a business, etc., who is going to stop them?  While it is possible that an unarmed security guard might try to tackle the armed gunman, is it likely?  Not many unarmed people would consider going toe-to-toe with some crazy guy or girl who is opening fire.  Thus, while hiring a private security guard who is unarmed might save money in the short run, it could potentially cost employers and others hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in lawsuits in the long run.

Employers must also review the potential risk levels and security threats of the areas they want secured.  If a business or other area is generally a very low risk area with very little crime, then an unarmed security guard might be the best route to take.  On the other hand, if a particular firm is in need of a stronger security presence and/or is located in a high risk area, an armed security guard might prove to be the better choice.

The ultimate decision as to which type of security guard to hire ultimately rests with the company, nonprofit organization, or governmental agency.  Both unarmed and armed Oklahoma private security guards can suffice, depending on the situation. Oklahoma Judicial Process Servers www.OklahomaJudicialProcessServers.com has an outstanding private security guard agency division which proudly serves all throughout Oklahoma and will help businesses, nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, and private individuals meet their needs.     

The Body Never Lies: Deception Experts Share Secrets

The Body Never Lies: Deception Experts Share Secrets

Have you ever found yourself tired of being lied to?  Few, if any people, actually enjoy being lied to, but somehow everyone seems to tell untruths.  Of course, some people tell more lies than others do.  The deception experts at Oklahoma Judicial Process Servers www.OklahomaJudicialProcessServers.com would like to share a few secrets with you.  This way you can have a few indications of deception, which when taken as part of a whole scenario, can give you insight into whether or not someone is trying to lie to you.  Here are a few of many clues you can look for . . .

A person in Oklahoma or elsewhere who is trying to deceive you often avoids eye contact.  Why is this?  People who lie often feel very uncomfortable making eye contact with a person they are lying to.  If someone you are talking to really tries to avoid eye contact, then be on guard!  Of course, some cultures teach kids not to look at their elders in the eyes, so one must be sure to take the cultural aspects into perspective.

Another way in which a person might be deceptive is by shaking his or her head  side to side as if to say, “No” when making a statement.  This often indicates that the person you are speaking with has absolutely no confidence in what he or she is telling you.  Individuals often do this without even knowing it!

A skilled deception expert, whether in Oklahoma or elsewhere, would also spot someone who is likely to be lying, if the person covers his or her mouth or touches other parts of his or her head when making statements.  Often referred to as the “unconscious cover-up”, individuals often do this automatically when they are telling lies.  They unconsciously try to hide their mouth or face to “cover up” what they know they should not be saying.

Some people try to distance themselves from the person they are lying to by putting some sort of barrier in between the two of you.  This could be anything from a briefcase to a pillow or a glass of water.  This forms an unconscious barrier between you and that person.  This sometimes happens when people are uncomfortable with the situation, and it is a possible indication of deception.

Finally, watch out if someone ever says, “To tell you the truth,” or, “Not to offend you but . . .”  If these statements are not what that individual normally says, then whatever follows them is unlikely true or is meant to be offensive.  If something is true or the person does not mean to offend you, then the person does not need to state the fact that it is not a lie or something “non-offensive”.  The person’s words should speak for themselves, without having to justify it up front.

These are just a few indications of deception.  It is important to remember that it is vital that a person takes these indications of deception in conjunction with other clues and the situation as a whole.  Having a skilled deception expert on hand to help you can prove to be invaluable, so do not hesitate to contact one at (405) 593-3515 or by visiting www.OklahomaJudicialProcessServers.com.  Their lie detection division will help you in Oklahoma, another state, or around the world!
