With terrorism a very real threat in our society, we could feel powerless to protect ourselves. We may go about our daily business with the underlying fear of an attack. With the amount of stress that many of us have in our busy lives, the last thing we need is more stress. Enlisting the services of a security service not only ensures your personal safety during times of low threat of terrorism, but also during high alert times. A security service can also be used for functions where many people are present.
Our city: People from all over the world are drawn to Toronto for its vibrant, multicultural lifestyle, and employment opportunities. Toronto is a diverse city with people from various backgrounds and cultures, and thanks to local police force, its citizens enjoy a relatively safe lifestyle. However, with increased risk of terrorism anywhere in the world, it can be reassuring to have the extra protection of someone who is trained in anti-terrorism. Last year’s shooting in Ottawa highlights the fact that an event such as this can happen anywhere, including close to home.
Not just for the rich and famous: Personal safety is an issue for everyone, now more so than ever, and hiring a personal security professional is not as expensive as you might think. Also, it is not only high profile people who need personal protection, but anyone who wants to added assurance that they can go about their daily lives knowing that their back is covered. A personal security company can also offer protection at events where a number of people are gathered, such as weddings, funerals, parties, and corporate functions.
Why specialised training is important: Having a professional who is specifically trained in anti-terrorism tactics gives you the added assurance that, should there be threat of a terrorist attack your bodyguard will know how to protect you. Some security professionals are merely ex bouncers who have basic training in reacting to a threat. A specially trained professional will not only respond to attacks but be aware of potential threats and look for ways to avoid them.
How, where and what? If you have never thought about enlisting a personal security service, it might be worth looking into. An online search will provide you with a number of options in your local area. Be sure to check the qualifications of their staff, and the number of years’ experience. You don’t just want someone who has a gun licence; you want someone who has been trained by a recognised Security Service Institution. Ask lots of questions. Of course, one important question to ask is whether their staff is trained in anti-terrorism tactics; it is certainly worth having the added protection.
You’re worth it: Everyone deserves to feel safe and to have the freedom to enjoy life without worry about personal safety. It is not only you who will benefit from a Bodyguard Service, but your loved ones too.
