• Providing leadership and direction in emergencies and assisting emergency personnel in times of crisis, e.g. directing fire fighters to the easiest/best way to get to the scene of the fire.
• Controlling access to a site, including monitoring entrance & gate passage, escorting people & valuables.
• Controlling or restoring order to a crowd.
• Preventing work accidents by being aware of potential dangers, reporting safety hazards and following directions to minimize the risk posed to others.

"How are your security guards or patrol held accountable to being present or visible at an event or when patrolling a property?"

At Bluestar Security Inc, our security guards and security patrol use a real-time GPS tracking system that provides a visual of our operations and increases efficiency, accountability, and officer safety.

"I often see security patrols driving around shopping malls, but I rarely see them walking the parking lots. Do your employees get out of the cars and patrol on foot?"

Bluestar Security Inc uses vehicle and foot patrol for areas around the perimeter of the event or building being patrolled. Vehicle type of patrol normally covers areas that are too great to be covered on foot. Vehicle patrols will often include parking lots, storage yards, perimeter fence lines, outer perimeters and areas that are impractical to patrol on foot. The benefits to vehicle patrol allow our security personnel to be highly visible, to cover extensive areas in a shorter period of time and to respond quickly.

However, our personnel recognize the limitations to patrolling by vehicle and therefore are committed to getting out of the vehicles and patrolling by foot so that all of the senses of the security guard (sight, hearing, smell, and touch) may be used to monitor the property and safety of people and information.
