Security guard as an administrator of your building

A security guard is the eyes, the ears, and the spokesperson of your premises. For us, manned guard is more than protecting a building. A security operative is actively involved and acts as your representative and a guard – they ensure smooth customer service and assist the building manager, for example. At Forus, we often hear how our guards help to catch thieves on sites, save shopping centres from flooding by acting quickly, ensure quick action in emergencies, etc.

As a rule, our security operatives rely on ‘an additional set of eyes’, or a video surveillance system, which helps to monitor the premises at all times.

We ensure round-the-clock manned surveillance for your building if necessary, and protect your property as if it were our own.

We prioritise quality, so a security manager is assigned to every site, ensuring a smooth surveillance service and helping with other issues related to security.

FAQ

How much does the manned guard service cost?

The price depends on the area, location, and peculiarities of the site, the number of security guards, the duration of the security services, the need for the patrol service, the tasks required from security staff, customer expectations, the equipment of the security staff (an armed guard is always more expensive), and the duration of the contract. In addition, your need for additional surveillance devices is taken into account.

What kind of training do the security operatives of Forus have?

All Forus security guards who have been employed in the security sector for more than four months have an occupational qualification certificate, have completed a 50-hour basic training, and can provide first aid. Security guards must pass an examination of the Estonian Security Association (Eesti Turvaettevõtete Liit) to earn the certificate. All security operatives also complete 16 hours of further training annually. Depending on the role, the employer provides additional training.
