Tourism remains a key driver of Thailand’s economy. With literally millions of tourists visiting the country each year, leaving a good impression is critical. Safety and security, alongside a welcoming environment for visitors, are important factors for them to decide to come to Thailand and return again in the future. To this end, the humble security guard can play a big part. In this blog, we will look at the vital role of security guards in enhancing safety and customer experience.

The foundation of safety and security

Security guards are looked to as the foundation of safety and security in various settings. Their role in preventing incidents, deterring potential threats, and maintaining a secure environment cannot be underestimated.

Guardians of customer experience

The role of a security guard extends beyond ensuring the safety of visitors in a particular setting, their presence and assistance contributes to a sense of trust and satisfaction for customers.

Collaboration with other members of staff

These days, training for security guards includes the need for effective communication with other members of staff, teamwork and coordination, to provide a seamless and safe customer experience. Technology helps with this with devices such as Guardforce Thailand’s Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC). Superior to standard walkie talkies, the device ensures stable communication and includes other features such as GPS tracking, order tracking for incidents, etc.

Emergency response and appearance

Security guards, such as those provided by Guardforce Thailand, are not only trained in first aid, defence techniques and effective patrolling, but also to maintain a professional and official appearance in any setting they are posted.

Working in tandem with technology and robotics

As AI and other technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, it is becoming more and more common for human security guards to work in tandem with robotic colleagues such as Guardforce Thailand’s mobile Patrol Robot shown below. This partnership with robots helps to promote an even safer environment, while also being a fun novelty for visitors.
