What should I do when approached by a Security Consultant who has the “CPP” designation, has many years of experience, and yet works for a company that is in the guard business?
Most experts agree that it is best to retain a Security Consultant that has no ties to the guard industry or the alarm industry. The potential income from a lucrative guard contract substantially exceeds the potential income from a consulting contract. Security Consultants should be devoid of a conflict of interest. You may want your Security Consultant to monitor the efficacy of your contract guard service; therefore, you do not want the, “wolf watching the hen house.” A qualified Security Consultant, knows that his business is highly dependant on favorable recommendations from clients. This means that the best Security Consultants will find it in their interest to make your security program as cost efficient as possible.
