HOA Security Tampa
As portrayed in TV and movies, “Neighborhood Security Guards” conjures up an image of an upscale, gated community with a guard sitting in a gate house, feet on the desk lazily waving you by, only to get back to reading a newspaper or magazine.
The reality is vastly different.
Homeowner association (HOA) security has arrived for the masses. Community police budgets have been stretched to the limit, neighborhood police patrols are now a thing of the past and residents are looking for ways to make their neighborhood safer. Police are now “reactive” not “proactive”.
A homeowners association creates an opportunity for its members to benefit in many different ways. By collecting monthly dues, its members can afford many services that an individual wouldn’t otherwise enjoy. Far and away, one of the most valuable services is the protection of life and property.
HOA Security serves as a deterrent for criminals, but it can also enforce your homeowner association’s rules and regulations including parking enforcement, access control, and common areas. Apartment, condominiums and multi-housing properties are popular for intruders because of amenities such as swimming pools, gyms, spas, recreational facilities, parks, and playgrounds. These amenities are often found on the edges or outskirts of the property which make them harder to supervise or secure.

Good security is not an accident; it is an integration of several related concepts, actions, and engagements which tend to be mutually supporting.
Convincing criminals to move on is a good step. Some things are easy, for instance locking doors. Some things are more difficult, that’s when you hire a firm that has HOA experience. The idea is to get started stacking the odds in your favor. Just knowing the most common security mistakes is a beginning. Often even little improvements can help you sleep more peacefully at night and let you enjoy an evening out without worrying if your possessions will still be there when you get back home.
Experience is Key
If you read an article on how to build a house, if someone puts a hammer or saw into your hand, that doesn’t mean you can build a house. Likewise, unless a security company has HOA experience, why would you consider them?

Despite the growing concerns recently after the US May 2016 jobs report over a potential economic slowdown, the outlook for the Security Services industry continues to show substantial growth. As security concerns continue to escalate, government entities and private organizations are expected to increase spending dramatically to improve all aspects of their security programs.
The attainment of a Class “D” statewide license issued by Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is the first step in becoming a security officer. Once you have completed the state-mandated 40-hours of classroom training and taken and passed the exam the State of Florida will issue you a temporary license. The temporary license will allow you to begin working immediately while waiting for your hard copy from the State. The Class “D” license is for unarmed positions. For an armed position, you must complete the requisite requirements to obtain a Class “G” license that entails 28 hours of state-mandated classes plus a 48-round firearms qualification course.
To the average person watching TV or a Hollywood movie, close protection is often seen as a “perk” of the “rich and famous”.
And what about outside the home? That’s when you are most vulnerable . That fancy home security system doesn’t protect you when traveling. or when your children go to school.
The “process” of security is all around us. Bank guards, bar bouncers, lobby security guards, even school crossing guards remind us about this process every day.
Again, the starting point for any serious risk mitigation efforts is a professional threat analysis. Unless you fully comprehend the threats facing you as well as your vulnerabilities to these identified threats, you have no way of assessing your risk. Consequently, you’ll have no understanding how to mitigate them.
Whether they’ve made their fortune in high profile fields such as the entertainment industry, or sports, or are powerful players in closely-scrutinized industries or any other reason, families and individuals want privacy. And while “fame” might be seen by some as a “perk”, the bottom line is the more well-known a person or family member is, the more likely they are to be approached by strangers.
