However you spent it. Security is the private sector extension of public emergency services, and it is heavily dependent on emergency services whether it is to assist with removing a trespasser from site approval recent addition to the fire safety plan, or transport and ill person to the hospital, but the dependency goes both ways. Footage from the facility security cameras facing exterior areas for example, may often be of interest to police services investigating local area crimes or activities of persons of interest. fire departments are often in need of large facilities to conduct fire extinguisher training and all emergency services ultimately strive for a greater presence within the community they serve, to build positive relationships and to raise profile. Having a good relationship with these services enables security departments to obtain and submit information faster such as reports of crime and crime statistics. A more focused attention incident handling, and on average a better response time.

So it is in the security managers best interest to form these good, long lasting relationships. good ways to establish these relationships can include facility tours for emergency service personnel, team lunches and activities, appreciation events, award ceremonies, and community volunteer efforts. Relationships with emergency services need to be built from the top as well as the bottom. So get to know the superintendent of the local police department in your area or the fire division and establish a relationship that will trickle down to the rank and file of both their organization and yours.
