First Inquiry, Evidence and Police Handover
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
After a theft, an assault or a serious accident, you are often the first person in charge. What you do in the first hour decides whether the facts can be found later. Good notes, protected evidence and a clean handover help the police and protect your guards. Pressure, guesswork and handling evidence carelessly can ruin a case, and can put you and your agency in trouble.
Focus: collect facts, protect evidence, and hand everything to the police. Investigating crimes is the police's job. Guards and supervisors never interrogate anyone.
