"Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Security Service Provider"

Hiring a security service provider is one of the most important decisions a business, property owner, or event organizer can make. The right company doesn’t just protect your assets — it protects your reputation, your people, and your peace of mind.

But how do you know which security company is truly qualified to handle your needs? At S.T.A.R. Security Inc., we believe that informed clients make the best decisions. Before signing a contract, here are the key questions you should ask any security service provider — and what to look for in their answers.

1. Are You Fully Licensed, Bonded, and Insured?

This should always be your first question. A reputable security company must meet all state and local licensing requirements and carry proper liability insurance.

At S.T.A.R. Security Inc., we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, ensuring our clients are protected from legal and financial risks while maintaining complete regulatory compliance.

2. What Type of Training Do Your Guards Receive?

Training is the foundation of effective security. Ask about the company’s initial training, as well as ongoing education for their personnel. Guards should be trained in areas such as:

  • Emergency response and evacuation

  • De-escalation and conflict management

  • Use of force and defensive tactics

  • Fire watch and medical response

At S.T.A.R. Security, our guards undergo continuous professional training to keep their skills sharp and up to date with evolving threats and technologies.

3. Do You Provide Both Armed and Unarmed Security Options?

Different environments require different levels of protection. For example, a corporate office may prefer unarmed security, while a high-risk location like a bank or dispensary may need armed personnel.

S.T.A.R. Security Inc. offers both, with guards trained and certified according to the highest industry and legal standards.

4. What Type of Industries Do You Serve?

Each industry faces unique security challenges. Whether you manage a construction site, school, hospital, or corporate event, your provider should have proven experience in that field.

At S.T.A.R. Security, we specialize in a wide range of sectors — from commercial and industrial to residential and entertainment — tailoring our approach to each client’s environment and risk profile.

5. How Do You Monitor and Supervise Your Guards?

Accountability is crucial. Ask how the company ensures guards stay alert, professional, and responsive on the job.

S.T.A.R. Security uses real-time reporting technology, GPS patrol tracking, and on-site supervision to guarantee transparency and performance consistency.

6. Can You Provide References or Client Testimonials?

A reliable security provider should have no hesitation sharing feedback from satisfied clients. Testimonials and references are valuable proof of service quality, professionalism, and trustworthiness.

S.T.A.R. Security Inc. maintains long-term relationships with clients who consistently commend our team’s dedication, reliability, and integrity.

7. What Makes Your Company Different from Others?

This final question helps you gauge a company’s values and commitment. Look for answers that emphasize professionalism, continuous improvement, and client partnership — not just price.
