Twin City Security Shares 3 Benefits of Parking Patrol
Security comes in many different forms. Grounds patrol, event security, entrance monitoring, personal detail security, parking patrol — we provide a wide variety of security services to the Rochester, MN area.
At special events, parking patrol is a common duty placed on security officers. All TCS officers are unarmed and bring an added level of organization, safety, and crime deterrence to your parking needs. Here are the top 3 reasons event managers choose to outsource parking patrol:
Add Efficiency and Organization
Security officers can direct traffic which leads to a parking lot filling in an organized manner. All spots can be filled which increases the number of vehicles that are parked at one time. Overall, this reduces the potential for disarray in the parking lot.
In the case of large events, makeshift parking spaces are often created. Without guidance, people can park in the wrong place, in the wrong direction, block others in their spot, or simply make up their own rules that allow them to get in and out easily without regard for others.
These scenarios lead to frustration. And the last thing event staff wants is frustrated patrons, from the get-go. Organized and efficient parking allows attendees to start things off on the right foot from the moment they park their car.
2. Prioritize Safety
At Twin City Security, safety is a top priority. This goes for our officers and community members. We always recommend good lighting in parking areas. And when necessary, security officers can provide escort services to bring an added sense of security.
The presence of a uniformed security officer provides a feeling of safety amongst visitors; often very appreciated by patrons. People simply want a sense of security and to feel confident when they are out and about with their family and friends.
3. Minimize Crime
A large number of unattended cars can look like an opportunity to thieves. This is again, where the presence of uniformed security guards brings an added level of safety as their presence alone is often enough to deter criminals.
Whenever possible, we recommend barricading your parking area and implementing specific entrances and exits. This allows security officers to keep a mental check of what is and isn’t inside the parking area. This also makes it harder for criminals to enter the site without being seen.
Implementing Parking Patrol Security
For the best results, Twin City Security recommends keeping officers on-site for the duration of an event. That means the job isn’t done once the parking lot is full. Security guards can monitor the entrance and exit, walk the grounds of an event, and bring the same level of organization to the end of your event when everyone is leaving that they brought to the beginning.
