Local, state and federal governments hire private security guards to help provide protection at their facilities. Government buildings using private guard services include government-run schools, hospitals, local, state and federal government centers, post offices and other properties.

Strong, Affordable Security.  Using a private government facilities security guard company to patrol government buildings is more financially viable for municipalities that can’t afford full time security personnel. The Department of Homeland Security also makes use of contracted security guard services.

To prepare for possible terrorist attacks on government facilities, security guard licensing requires weapons of mass destruction training. According to California’s Bureau of Security & Investigative Services, training is provided “to familiarize and instruct the individual on the subject matter and observation skills required to identify and report precursor activities to a terrorist event, react appropriately, report the occurrence of a terrorist event and remain safe while helping control the scene after a terrorist event.”

This training includes:

1. The Role of a Security Officer
2. The Nature of Terrorism
3. Weapons of Mass Destruction
4. Coordinating and Sharing of Critical Information

Even the most sophisticated security technology can’t replace highly trained security guards. Access Control Security provides security officers for government facilities to thwart potential homegrown and foreign attacks and helps with response measures if an event occurs.
