Banning Security Services

In order to choose the best security officer for your investment, take a look at the following factors:

1. Legally, all security officers in the state of CA must be licensed through The Bureau Of Security And Investigative Services. If you hire a professional security company such as ours, the security officers are carrying CA Guard Registration Cards. If you were to hire security officers directly, you must make sure that they carry at least a proprietary guard registration card through the bureau in Sacramento. 

At Sphinx Security, we verify our employees’ backgrounds and licenses before we even bring them to the company for an initial recruitment interview. Consequently, we bring to you professional, licensed, experienced security officers that are well-vetted through our channels. To visit the Bureau’s website, click here.

2. Secondly, most security services task is about presence and authority. So, when you try to find a good security officer company, take a look at their uniforms, their presence, the way they carry themselves, etc. These factors, in the security industry are not superficial. Most criminals look at security officers and determine, in the first few seconds, whether this security officer has presence and authority or if the security officer is disinterested in his/her presence. 

Sphinx Security Services prides itself on choosing a uniform that resembles an elite swat team or police department. Our uniforms stand out from competition and we definitely create the presence needed for the toughest security assignments. 

3. Third, choose a company that is familiar with your line of work. The best security guard companies will show interest in the type of business you are in. Hiring a professional security officer to guard a jewelry store that is loaded with fine jewelry is different than hiring an entry-level security officer to watch over a construction site or to guard a vacant house. 

The founders of Sphinx Security Services have extensive backgrounds in, not only the security industry, but also in business-related fields. We have managers that have experience in providing services in different industries who are well-aware of your very specific business needs and not just in terms of security. Additionally, we educate our managers and our security officers about your industry so that we can serve you best. 

4. Fourth, experience is a must in the security guard world. Companies that are just emerging are maybe a good fit for entry level jobs. The industry of security and protective services is a very competitive industry. Therefore, a company surviving this industry for a decade is generally stronger and more professional than a company that has just started doing business. 

Sphinx Security Services has been in Business since 2008. The founders have worked in the security & protective services in industry since 2003. We have a combined experience of over 2 or 3 decades in this industry. 

5. Fifth, take a good look at the way the security guard company prepares your invoices. Sometimes, the hours that are initially requested in the contract are either inaccurate or misquoted. 

Our invoices at Sphinx Security Services are prepared using the exact time sheets our officers use for signing in/out. Therefore, we never charge you for any extra time. Our rates are also the same rates we quoted you in your initial inquiry unless you have changed your request and shown that in writing. 

6. Sixth, make sure that the company you hire has a flexible contracting term. This is the only way you can guarantee that if you are not happy with the service, you can cancel the service and reassign the contract to a different company. 

At Sphinx Security Services, all of our contracts have no definite term. Therefore, we never lock you in any period. You can contact us to schedule service and contact us again to modify or cancel service without any penalties whatsoever. 

There are several other factors and industry secrets that we, at Sphinx Security Services, adhere to in order to guarantee that you are getting the best services ever for the investment that you make. We realize that peace of mind can sometimes be costly. And we go out of our way to make sure that you have a company that cares about your spending and your investment.
