WHAT MAKES URGENT SECURITY SERVICES THE RIGHT CHOICE?

Let’s face it; there are a lot of security companies out there. Unfortunately, many of them do not offer reliable service. At Urgent Security, we work hard to earn your Urgent. This is done by providing the kind of professional security service that you demand. Here are just a few of the things that have let us apart from our competitors.

WE ANSWER THE PHONE

There is one promise you can count on when you use Urgent Security Services: you can talk to a live security supervision at any time – day or night.
Call most security companies after 5 PM and you get voicemail, an answering service or no answer at all. They may return your call in a day or so.

WE DO NOT HIRE CRIMINALS

In many jurisdictions, persons with misdemeanors or felony convictions can get a security license after a certain amount of time has expired. Some security companies then hire these persons as security guards. Urgent Security performs in-depth background checks. We do not hire felons regardless of whether the state decides to give them a license.

OUR SECURITY GUARDS ARE TRAINED

Maryland and Washington DC have no training requirement for unarmed security guards. Urgent Security believes that better-trained guards do a better job. As a result, all Urgent Security guards must complete a 12 course Basic Security Officer Training Course.

OUR GUARDS

STAY AWAKE

The last thing you want is a tired security guard who has gone from night shift to day shift. At Urgent Security, our night shift guards only work nights and day guards’ only work during the day.

AVAILABLE RESIDENTIAL SECURITY SERVICES

UNARMED SECURITY

In many situations, an unarmed security guard provides the right level of protection. They’re there to monitor the property continually and watch for suspicious activity and assist residents if needed. They’re ready to contact the police or emergency personnel immediately when a situation arises.

MOBILE SECURITY PATROLS

For larger areas such as residential neighborhoods and apartment complexes, mobile patrols offer the best security. Foot patrols and mobile units work together to provide a net of protection over a wide area, and GPS systems continuously monitor the location of mobile units. Mobile patrols can also be randomized for even greater effectiveness. Mobile security patrols can be either armed or unarmed.

FIRE WATCH PATROL SERVICE

We are a leader for fire watch service in the Washington DC Metro Area. Fire watch teams patrol buildings watching for signs of smoke or fire. An account manager is assigned to ensure that the services being provided are compliant with the local fire watch regulations.

INDUSTRY LEADING QUALITY ASSURANCE

Besides hiring the best people, Urgent Security only affilates with security companies that provide the required training for the jurisdictions that they service. Quality of service is maintained by requiring guards to fill out detailed patrol reports and regular supervisor checks on the performance of both employees and equipment. We also simply ask our clients how we are doing, listening

to positive comments so that we know what we’re doing right, and to concerns so that we can act to correct them quickly. These procedures ensure the highest quality services.

REMOTE PATROL TRACKING

Electronic patrol tracking is available to monitor security guard activity in real time so that we always know where our guards are and what they are doing. This technology is available for any long term assignments.

ARMED SECURITY

For those who require a higher level of protection, armed security is the right choice. They’re equipped to respond to an armed threat. All armed security personnel are trained in the use of their firearm and fully licensed to carry it wherever they serve.
