Hi and welcome to the Guardian Way.

2

Today's episode, episode 118

3

talks about body camera benefits

that are provided by security firms.

4

This is kind of an interesting,

topic today.

5

Our co-producer for the series,

of course, Gareth

6

Thomas,

the founder of Guardian Protection Force.

7

Good morning Garrett. Good morning.

8

So, Garrett, when we talked a little bit

about this, you know, this is all sort

9

of the evolving technology

that security firms are beginning to use.

10

Guardian of course use utilizes them.

11

So why don't you take our audience

so they get an idea,

12

a little bit about the benefits

13

and the things that are derived

that are positive from these body camera,

14

being able to be on the guards

that are out in the field.

15

Yeah, absolutely.

16

It's a great piece of technology.

17

You know,

a lot of people are afraid of technology.

18

They, you know, just want to,

get away from it.

19

And others believe that, you know,

these technologies are just replacing,

20

you know, man guarding.

21

You know, I think there's

something in the middle there.

22

These are great tools are helping out.

23

And, in many ways,

one of which is reduce liability.

24

And legal risk.

25

I'm big fan of them for this reason.

26

The other one is that,

it will increase your guard

27

professionalism when they know

that they're being watched and recorded.

28

They're going to interact in a way

that is,

29

a lot more professional

than if they believe nobody's watching.

30

Improve, safety and de-escalation.

31

A lot of times, individuals,

you know, hear that it clicks on or,

32

when they hear now recording

or they see the light go on

33

and they know that there's higher risk

for their behaviors.

34

It's,

they've de-escalated a lot of situations.

35

Just from their presence,

36

transparency and trust.

37

A lot of people are worried about privacy,

and they say, oh, you know, Or aren't

38

you worried about privacy?

39

No. I think it's great

to have the transparency.

40

That that's far more important.

41

And in most situations,

42

security officers are going to be

in publicly available setting.

43

So, that's usually not an issue.

44

Stronger incident documentation.

45

In the worst case scenarios,

when incidents occur.

46

You know,

you have all of that information.

47

So it's, really helpful

in those situations.

48

Competitive and reputational advantage,

is signal's, modern premium security

49

approach, that you're utilizing

these new technologies that are available.

50

So, Bob, I'm a big fan of these.

51

They're great for risk management.

52

Increases professionalism.

53

And, another form of assurance.

54

Well, you know, that's great information.

55

And as you and I know,

56

we've kind of got something new

that's going to be coming up here,

57

in the future

relative to another application

58

where we can use this body

camera technology.

59
