A small business doesn’t mean less security. Organizations of all sizes remain susceptible to safety hazards. Investing in security measures should always remain a priority for companies working to create a comfortable and secure environment. According to John Vasquez, small businesses are often worried about investing too much of their resources into safety rather than their business. “Sometimes, they just roll the dice and hope nothing happens,” Vasquez said.  “Rolling the dice” when it comes to securing your work environment [...]

Safety plays a large role in overall healthcare effectiveness by providing visitors a comfortable environment where their personal safety is not on their list of worries.  Ensuring patient satisfaction primarily begins with the patient’s surrounding environment.

Eagle Systems Security offers a range of security opportunities for clients, with two of our largest responsibilities existing in healthcare and corporate domains. Our officers’ commitment to professional security is unwavering, but duties at healthcare and corporate office sites differ from one another. These opposing environments in which our officers work uncover a highly recognizable difference between commercial and healthcare security.  When in a commercial setting, officers are trained to focus on the security of the perimeter, protecting the building, [...]

According to the Justice Department, a mass killing is defined as three or more killings in one, single episode. As most are aware, this month our country faced two horrific incidents, bringing the number of mass shootings in 2019 alone to 32.
