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.     

Where Oklahoma Security Officers, Private Investigators and Bodyguards Study is Very Important When Seeking Jobs in the Workforce

Where Oklahoma Security Officers, Private Investigators and Bodyguards Study is Very Important When Seeking Jobs in the Workforce

            Where bodyguards, security officers, and private investigators study is extremely important.  All too often students enrolling in these programs think that just because the Council on Law Enforcement Education (CLEET) has set the curriculum standards for all of the schools that teach these training programs, they are all alike.  However, the quality of instructors, other personnel and the overall training in these programs can vary widely.  Oklahoma employers will often take a careful look at which schools their potential employees hail from.  Students who attended low quality schools may find themselves locked out of employment opportunities that they might otherwise find open.

            Consider two famous schools: Harvard University and the University of Phoenix.  If an employer had the chance to hire someone whose qualifications, mannerisms, experience, etc., were otherwise equal in all other regards, which school do would most employers probably prefer to hire their next employee from – a Harvard University graduate or a University of Phoenix graduate?  The programs at both schools are simply not the same, and the quality of their graduates is also often reflective of their selection process, admission procedures, teaching faculty, etc.

            Another good example of this includes schools that are rude to businesses that might otherwise hire their graduates.  Oklahoma Judicial Process Servers www.OklahomaJudicialProcessServers.com found several of the personnel at Francis Tuttle Technology Center were very rude over the phone, while those at Metro Technology Center, which is located near the Oklahoma City Zoo, were the exact opposite.  Schools that burn bridges with the business community only cause harm to themselves and those who pay money to attend their schools. 

Not only did this company find the quality of the instructors offered at Francis Tuttle Technology Center lacking in quality, but this school had also gone around burning bridges as well.  On the other hand, Metro Tech had not done so, and thus it not only strengthened its reputation throughout the community as a school of choice for some employers, but its private investigation and security guard classes and teachers have likewise gained greater regard within their respective areas of specialization as well. 

It is true that neither the cost of one’s education nor a school’s reputation can guarantee the overall success of Oklahoma security guards, bodyguards and private investigators.  However, students would be well advised to take a careful look at the schools they plan on attending for their training before making any kind of monetary and time investments.  Their future and chances of success in the job market could very well depend upon choosing the right school.
