What should I verify before hiring a security company in North Carolina?
Ask whether the provider holds the relevant license from the North Carolina Private Protective Services Board. The license type should match the service, such as security guard and patrol, private investigation, or executive protection.
What security services are available besides uniformed guards?
Options can include executive protection, private investigations, event staffing, patrol services, security training, and active-shooter threat assessments. Not every provider offers all of these services.
Should I call a security company or 911 for an immediate threat?
Call 911 for an active crime, immediate danger, fire, or medical emergency. Private security companies are generally arranged for ongoing protection, site patrols, investigations, or preventive assessments.
