3 The Future of Security Services At Securitas USA, we are always looking for ways to match each client s unique security needs with the best solution for both your business and your budget. While the last several years have presented a multitude of challenges, we re determined to stay a step ahead. As an industry leader, we ve dedicated ourselves to using our resources and experience to create an array of alternatives. Beginning in 2014, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will require all employers with more than 50 full-time employees to offer health care. As the ACA requirements will standardize medical plan coverage, almost all employees will be affected, even if they currently have appropriate medical coverage. All companies can expect changes to their current health care plans, in addition to potentially escalating labor costs. But ACA is only part of the economic issue. Current business trends, including wage, benefit and government labor tax pressures, point toward the continued, long-term escalation of labor costs. Meanwhile, our clients are under constant pressure of their own to cut costs. We understand this, which is why years ago long before ACA we began researching new security models designed to reduce our dependence on labor without compromising your security. For too long, the strength of a security program has been measured and modulated by manpower. But times and technology have changed. Securitas USA is committed to employing a full range of services leveraging technology to enhance each officer s effectiveness. Instead of employing more officers, we can employ the tools to make each officer more effective. This, in turn, will allow us to both stabilize our labor force and provide health care benefits to all the full-time officers we employ, which means we will continue to attract the best officers in the field of security. As a global industry leader, we have firsthand experience with worldwide security trends and have developed protocols for a variety of scenarios. A company of our size offers a comprehensive approach we can provide not just the officer, not just the technology, but a complete and flexible security plan to handle all of your needs.

4 2 Remote Guarding Advances in camera, sensory and access control technology along with increased bandwidth and communication tools have radically changed how we can manage many key security duties. Where officers once occupied control booths ten feet from an access point, we can now monitor remotely. This is already standard practice for many of our global clients a manufacturing plant in Buffalo can be monitored by a highly-trained officer at the HQ in Baltimore, who can dispatch local responders with the touch of a button. Tried and tested technology means an off-site officer can do a full video-tour of a facility, make security announcements and manage access controls for employees and visitors. The same officer can complete logs and file reports traditionally performed on-site. While Remote Guarding may seem like an obvious solution for low-activity posts, advances in technology make it a viable option for every account. Securitas USA offers the following Remote Guarding services: Alarm Verification Remote Employee Escort Remote Entry/Exit Management Remote Patrol Remote Perimeter Protection

5 3 Mobile Guarding In situations that require an on-site presence for at least some key tasks, Mobile Guarding may be an effective answer. Typically, a Mobile officer will check in on the facility a predetermined number of times at random intervals and be in the vicinity to respond at a moment s notice. While Mobile Guarding can fit a wide variety of situations, it is the ideal answer for a number of specific needs: Monitoring factory equipment that may need nightly inspection. Responding to alarms using Mobile Guarding as a first response eliminates false-alarm costs from local law enforcement. Providing relief and short-term coverage for businesses that employ a single individual overnight. Escorting employees at shift changes. Providing systematic and even synchronized coverage for accounts with multiple locations whether miles apart or across the country. Mobile Guarding has been embraced by the hospitality industry. Securitas USA officers can be posted at a hotel desk or lobby reception and provide an escort for shift changes. Overnight staff take comfort in having a familiar presence check-in with them. Mobile Guarding allows clients on even the tightest budget to fully leverage Securitas USA s vast resources and industry knowledge. Mobile clients have access to the same professional officers, cutting edge technology and dedicated customer service they ve come to expect, while only having to pay for the services they actually utilize.

6 4 Introducing: Integrated Guarding Integrated Guarding combines all three of Securitas USA s Guarding Services On-site, Remote, and Mobile to provide a comprehensive, cutting edge alternative. Securitas USA officers perform those vital functions that rely on friendly, consistent human interaction but also have a wealth of resources on hand to cover core duties in non-traditional ways. After a full operational analysis, your branch manager will develop customtailored alternatives to cover your unique security needs. For example: A busy manufacturing plant may need on-site guards to handle the front gate while the perimeter is monitored by remote guarding. A downtown office building may be fully staffed with a staff of security officers during business hours but need only remote guarding overnight. A construction site may need a different combination of services each week. No matter your concerns or budget, Integrated Guarding has an answer for you.
