guardNOW Gives Protection When You Need It, Quickly

When you need a personal bodyguard (or protection for your business) in a hurry — who are you going to call?

Well in Pasadena, there’s a super new service for you to rely on when you need it the most.

We sat down with Nathaniel Brown, owner of the local guardNow service, and he gave us the inside info on “threat assessments” and when we should worry. “guardNOW is a unique security service that provides short and long-term services for individuals who need security and that could be from collapsed stores, terminated employees to girlfriend-boyfriends getting into arguments where she feels ‘Hey, the cops can’t come.’ You can hire a security person come to watch you for a couple of hours until she goes to work or school.  We watch houses. Burglars are more on the prowl to break-in the houses.  And we’re more than willing to come out and sit with you at your residence while the tenant is over that house to secure. We can keep an eye on you.”

And guardNOW has experience giving protection to VIPs. guardNOW personnel have given protection to Hollywood A-list stars, including Kim Kardashian and other celebrities as well as red carpet events. Only recently, guardNOW provided security to watch the area where the space shuttle passed by in California.

Brown explained that one of the primary responsibilities of providing personal and business security is by giving their clients a threat assessment so they would know how much they are at risk physically or their business and at the same time give them an idea what kind and how long they need security.

He pointed out, “A threat assessment is say for instance you get into it with a person at work and they threaten you.  Well, at first, it’s intense.  But as time goes on, it will slow down a little bit.  If it goes on to the next day and you come to work and your tires are flat, it means that the threat is evolving. The next day you come to work and you find a mouse on your car or something, the threat is evolving further.  We advise clients about threat assessment.  We will walk them through the steps about threat assessment.  So they will have a clue [about the extent and kind of threat] and they will know.”

The most important aspect of threat assessment is that it gives you an idea and ensures that you understand what to do as the threats unfold until law enforcement gets to it or until the threat is minimized he said.

And when a client calls, guardNOW personnel will quickly respond anytime of the day and will ensure that the client feels safe until such time that he or she feels they no longer need protection. “We will stay with you until you are safe. Until you say ‘I’ve had enough,’ we’ll be around.  And believe it or not, in most cases, after a day or two, people start to feel safe, but you know, at the back of their mind, ‘We’ll still hold on to you until this is really over,’ which is alright by us,” Brown added.

Hiring security personnel or bodyguards definitely gives people a heightened sense of security especially when the cops are not around. Security services such as guardNOW actually benefits the police because it “temporarily relieves them of some of the burdens in keeping criminals at bay” while the police are busy doing their jobs protecting the community.

Also, the police are known to be reactive and respond when something is happening or already happened. guardNOW are more proactive and are there to prevent a crime from happening before it happens.

“We understand the need for access to security guards fast and easy which is why with guardNOW you have available security guards throughout the country with the same and standards of work. You can get the same quality of services where ever you are throughout the country. It’s a lot different from any other security companies you’ve seen. The prices are comparable, but where can you get an officer 24 hours a day?,” Brown claimed.

More importantly, Brown is a local guy who knows the Pasadena area very well. So you can be assured when you need quick security like, “I need you right now,” situations, guardNOW will be there immediately for a price between $150 and $200.

Brown provides security for both business and individuals. “There’s no job that’s too small.. No matter what you need security for, guardNOW will be the first one there! Our professional, courteous, and experienced staff will make sure that all your security needs will be solved and taken care of,” he said.

“You call us and we’ll be there,” Brown said in parting.
