Armed and unarmed guards
DECO maintains over a
thousand Security
Officers throughout the
United States with
employee turnover rates
well below our
competitors. DECO
officers are constantly
and consistently
trained, tested, and
quality control checked
to ensure our clients
they have the highest
caliber of security at
each location. DECO
officers are trained to
operate and carry many
kinds of weapons from
handguns to non-lethal
types such as batons and
pepper spray.
Badge identification and
reception desk control
Most facilities control
the access of their
building entries. DECO
can establish
comprehensive polices
and procedures to
control access during
both business and
non-business hours. DECO
Security Officers will
visually inspect and can
physically touch passes
to ensure the
identification is valid
and belongs to the
person in possession of
it. Conversely,
personnel exiting the
facility can be
inspected and property
being removed can be
properly documented.
Safety and fire
protection
The on-duty security
officer at the scene of
a confirmed emergency
situation will be
delegated the authority
to take appropriate
action.
The actions of the
security force are
governed by the basic
principal to take
immediate action to
contain the situation
and to minimize risk to
personnel and property.

Patrol services
While fixed posts
provide primarily access
control and by their
very nature are
reactive, roving patrols
are intended to be both
a deterrent and
proactive in nature;
detecting activities
prior to their adversely
affecting the personnel
or facilities. Roving
patrols are usually the
first responders to
emergencies, civil
disturbances, criminal
acts, fire alarms,
etc. Assigned personnel
must have the level of
training and experience
to recognize suspicious
activity or potential
problems. They
must pay specific
attention to such items
as abandoned personal
items, boxes out of
place, suspicious items
in the trash
receptacles, and similar
potential threats.
Officers will monitor
the status of safes,
doors, and gates.
Traffic enforcement
Officers can be assigned
to enforce traffic
control and parking.
All safety and fire
lanes will remain
unobstructed. They also
will assist in the
management of vehicle
movement and parking
management efforts to be
compatible with each
customer’s needs.
Vehicles that are
improperly parked, and
determined to be a
threat to the security
and safety of the
facility, may be towed
with the approval of the
client or their
designee.
CCTV monitoring
Officers assigned to
CCTV/alarm system
monitoring receive
additional specific
training for both the
operating procedures for
the devices installed
and the
notification/response
requirements for various
incident types.

System monitoring
All security officers
will receive training
and additional “hands
on” experience in the
operation and response
requirements for all
alarms systems.
Effective operation and
monitoring of these
systems are critical to
the security and safety
of all personnel and
material.
