Crime and attempted break-ins are a fact of life. But you can reduce the impact on your business with the proper precautions. A key piece of assuring the security of your assets and employees is implementing fixed facility security to ensure the safety and security of your employees and assets. As part of the full suite of security services that MetroWatch offers, the fixed facility guard services are indispensable to businesses that are vulnerable to theft and vandalism.

Benefits of Fixed Facility services:

• Available 7x24 for tighter security

• Loss prevention

• Ability to control and log all visitors

• Early detection of fire or other threats to assets

• Answer questions and provide directions to visitors

• Assist in emergency evacuation

Uniformed guards assigned to fixed facility security positions will usually be exclusively assigned to your location(s). These officers become familiar with the premises and the people associated with it. We schedule the shifts to manage coverage as best fits your specific requirements. We can also help meet your security budget by combining fixed facility services with our mobile patrols.

Our fixed facility guard services can include passive guard station entry/exit monitoring, walking patrols of the premises, and monitoring of alarms and video surveillance equipment. We can include more aggressive elements such as checking visitor credentials and authorization to enter. We can also ensure that all visitors and staff have left the facilities at closing, as well as perform a security check of all doors and windows.

The specially trained and certified MetroWatch Emergency Response Team [ERT] comes prepared for any hazardous circumstance, being fully outfitted with protective equipment including flack jackets, protective head gear with shield, tactical gloves and any other necessary items.
