Elevation Security: Hotels Protected


August 30, 2021

Owning or managing a hotel can be an extremely rewarding experience. Depending on its location, providing a welcome respite for weary travelers, offering a good night’s sleep within close proximity to major attractions, or hosting conventions for various work forces across the globe can all be enjoyable. Not only do you get to frequently interact with the general public, but size and amenities will also determine patronage to your property. However, these benefits also present a risk similar to any other situation where there is such a high percentage of public interaction.

All of the most common crimes in the United States potentially can occur at hotels or on property. From theft to aggravated assault, the possibility for an occurrence always exists but there are other interactions for which hotel owners need to stay aware. Trespassing, vandalism, and money or payment fraud are also situations owners need to be able to address at any given time. Fortunately, having a dedicated security company looking out for your assets and the well being of your guests is very beneficial.

Crime Stoppage

Having a noticeable security presence can help reduce the amount of crime in any area, and the same applies to a hotel property. From a parking lot or garage to inside the lobby and beyond, if the general public sees security around the area, it is likely to reduce risk. Not only can this existence eliminate the potential for a crime to occur but it can also stop it if reported or witnessed in the act.

Immediate Response

Having an on site response to any reported suspicious activity can dramatically improve all public perception of your property. If, in the event something were to happen, knowing you have personnel capable of presenting an appropriate response can help to eliminate any stress or worries about potential ‘what if’ situations. Rest easier knowing that with a security firm protecting your building, property, personnel, and guests, everything is being done to put safety at the forefront of service.

Customer Service

Security personnel can also assist in helping clients navigate a property or keeping organization during larger events. In addition to helping with risk and crime prevention, the extra on site assistance can also be extremely beneficial to management, hotel staff, and all guests of a property.

Other Duties

Hotels present a unique situation when it comes to safety and security because they must be staffed and in operation all day, every day. Unlike other property types which have designated opening and closing times, ultimately distinguishing when there should be no public presence, a hotel is always open. This can make it difficult for staff to knowingly enforce restrictions throughout the confines of its floor plan, however, a knowledgeable and well trained security detail will learn the ins and outs of your site’s operational procedures and act accordingly.
