Why Landlords Should Use Security Officers

As a landlord, your responsibilities go far beyond collecting rent and managing repairs. After all, the safety and security of your tenants and property come first, making it essential you take proactive steps to deter crime, manage conflict and protect your property and investment.

Fortunately, security officers can help.  In Chicago, LawDog Security & Investigations Inc. provides experienced, professional security officers who prove to be a real asset to landlords.

Undoubtedly, a visible security presence is one of the most effective ways to deter criminal activity. Whether it’s vandalism, break-ins, loitering, or more serious threats, having experienced security officers patrolling your property sends a clear message that unlawful and rude behavior won’t be tolerated.

Security officers do more than just patrol. In many cases, they’re the first point of contact for tenants dealing with noise complaints, domestic disturbances, or unauthorized guests. It’s ideal to have someone on site who is trained to handle these situations tactfully and prevent escalation.

In addition, security officers can help landlords when it’s time to ask a tenant to leave. Some tenants get angry, aggressive and emotional when they are asked to leave and threatened with eviction. A professional security officer can serve as a calming presence for both parties. They can help explain the law and protect landlords from what is often an uncomfortable situation. 

At LawDog Security, our officers include active and retired law enforcement officers with over 75 years of combined experience. That expertise allows us to take swift, effective action on behalf of landlords.
