Prefabricated guard shacks can be one of your security team’s best assets and can help everyone stay more organized than ever. These buildings work for a small staff at your specific location and all the management, building owners, and administrators. You can also use them for a larger team from an outside company or many security groups working together at the same site.
Prefabricated buildings help your team stay efficient and save you money by minimizing on-site construction time. You may want a small building with large windows to help your team at an entrance stay engaged and visible with the protection they need. There are also several bullet-resistant or bulletproof models, rooftop models, and other styles to meet your needs. Here are four ways guard shacks help your security team perform at a high level and keep everyone safer.
1- Help Establish a Meeting Space
Your security team can communicate faster, check the premises more frequently, and navigate accurately with quality shacks. Shacks can be the same style throughout your property, have minor differences, or be identified with markings or numbers. Your team will be able to communicate new security plans faster with the right setup and coordination using their radios and equipment.
Whether you anticipate high-level security problems or have a light-duty routine, established meeting areas matter. Teams will be able to communicate on a more regular schedule as well as coordinate supply and equipment moves with a concrete area to use as a reference.
2- Get the View You Need
Put your guard shacks on the roof, in a strategic corner, by the back gate, or wherever you will gain an advantage. You can work with your contractor to get the windows, rail guards, steps, and balcony heights you will most benefit from. Help your guards detect and address break-ins, identify people, manage traffic, and more with the right shacks.
3- Keep Records Secure
Whether you admit a few delivery trucks per month or manage hundreds of check-ins per day, you have records that must stay safe. The right guard shacks keep your paperwork out of the weather and allow you to install sturdier file locks. You have the added benefit that others won’t want to try to get into the shack often with the security team present.
4- Optimize Your Camera and Technology Network
Cameras have blind spots, other technology uses network equipment, heavy-duty lasers only extend so far, and everything has to catch a signal. Bring it all together with a collection of guard shacks that are arranged and sized just right. You can have everything customized by a construction expert who knows how to create using prefabricated pieces for fast installation.
Trust Quality and Durability
Secure guard shacks will stand up to break-ins, deter criminals, have stronger locks, and have stronger walls. Talk to your builder about the risk you deal with and the materials you need for each shack. Some models may have reinforcement options from steel bars or concrete blocks as well as thicker walls.
