Why Security Guard is Important​

Security guards are important and required for the protection of people, property and businesses alike. Their training involves a process to stop crime before it happens or at an early stage to mitigate the risk. For this, multiple individuals are seeking security guard services. Among the top security guard services in Pakistan, Desert Hawks Security is well-known for its disciplined and smart training of its guards, ensuring ultimate protection.

A good security guard doesn’t just stand and watch; they prevent danger, solve security problems, and protect lives. Security guards are the first line of defence against theft, violence, and accidents in homes, offices, events, and schools.

Let’s understand exactly why security guards are so important and how professional companies like Desert Hawks Security make their role even stronger.

1) What Does a Security Guard Do?

• Deter: Uniform presence makes criminals think twice.
• Control: One entry point, one rulebook. IDs checked. Risks screened out.
• See early: Patrols and camera watches catch trouble before it grows.
• Respond: Fire, fight, theft, medical emergency—guards act now.
• Document: Incidents recorded. Patterns spotted. Losses reduced.
• Reassure: Staff and visitors feel safe. Confidence returns. Work improves.

Bottom line: A guard is a living shield with judgement, discipline, and speed.

2) Why Guards Beat “Tech-Only” Security

Cameras are silent. Alarms are loud. Neither moves a crowd.

Scenario	Tech-Only	With A Deshawks Guard
Shoplifting attempt	Video “after” proof	Live deterrence + stop + report
Angry visitor	Alarm rings	Verbal control + safe removal
Night-time break-in	App notification	On-site interceptor + police handover
Fire on floor 3	Sensor beeps	Evacuation lead + casualty aid
VIP site visit	None	Perimeter lock, access list, escort

Tech is your eyes and ears. A guard is your hands and spine.

5) Step-By-Step: How To Deploy Guards That Actually Work

A. Fast Checklist (Print-worthy)

• Define risks (theft, intrusion, crowding, threats, fire).
• Map entry points and blind spots.
• Set rules: who enters, how, when, and with what ID.
• Choose guard posts and patrol routes.
• Equip guards with radios, control-room contact, and incident forms.
• Set escalation paths: determine who gets called and in what order.
• Run a live drill. Fix weak points. Go live.

B. Our 5-Step Method (Deshawks Way)

1. Assess
   We start on-site. We walk the premises, review past incidents, and grade the risks so we know exactly what you’re facing.
2. Design
   Next, we build a simple, workable plan: clear post orders, an access and visitor flow, a patrol map, and an escalation path everyone understands.
3. Deploy
   We place trained, licensed guards who arrive fully briefed and equipped, with a supervisor on hand for support around the clock.
4. Monitor
   Patrols are checked in real time, and our control room keeps watch. You get daily logs, so nothing is missed.
5. Enhance
   We review each week, learn from incidents, and update training and procedures to keep improving your protection.

Result
Visible control, fewer incidents, faster response times, and cleaner audits—for a site that feels safer and runs smoother.
