Workplace Violence & Termination Security Services in Metro Denver

Patrol Guard Security Services provides professional workplace violence and employee termination security services in Denver, Colorado and throughout the surrounding metro area.

Threats involving current employees, former employees, customers, domestic partners, terminated workers, or other individuals can create serious concerns for employers and their workforce. These situations require more than simply placing a security guard near the front door.

PGSS provides armed security guards, employee termination security, workplace threat response, access control, executive and employee protection, parking lot security, security escorts, mobile patrols, and temporary security following threats or concerning incidents.

Security plans are developed around the specific circumstances, workplace, individuals involved, known behaviors, access points, operating environment, and information provided by the client.

When a credible or immediate threat exists, law enforcement should be contacted. Private security can provide an additional protective layer but does not replace police or emergency services.

Armed Workplace Violence Security

PGSS provides professional armed workplace violence security in Denver for organizations facing elevated safety concerns.

An armed security presence may be appropriate when an employer has received threats, experienced violent or threatening behavior, is concerned about a former employee, or has other information indicating an increased risk.

Depending on the circumstances, armed guards can be positioned at entrances, reception areas, administrative offices, employee work areas, parking lots, or other strategic locations.

Security personnel can monitor suspicious activity, control access, protect employees, provide escorts, document incidents, and coordinate with law enforcement when necessary.

The firearm is a protective tool—not the workplace violence strategy. Effective security also depends on planning, communication, situational awareness, access control, de-escalation, and appropriate emergency procedures.

Employee Termination Security

Terminating an employee can occasionally create security concerns, particularly when the individual has previously demonstrated threatening, aggressive, unstable, or confrontational behavior.

PGSS provides employee termination security in Denver for employers that want an additional protective presence before, during, and after a termination.

Security planning can begin before the meeting takes place.

Depending on the circumstances, PGSS personnel can be positioned discreetly nearby or maintain a visible presence during the termination process.

After the meeting, security can remain on site to protect employees and monitor the property if management believes the concern may continue.

Security Before a High-Risk Termination

Preparation should begin before a potentially concerning termination occurs.

Management should consider factors such as:

• Previous threats or violent behavior
• Aggressive or intimidating conduct
• Statements concerning retaliation
• Workplace conflicts
• Harassment or stalking behavior
• Access to the property
• Possession of keys, badges, or credentials
• Knowledge of building procedures
• Specific threats against managers or employees
• Previous attempts to circumvent security
• Other behavior creating legitimate concern

These factors can help determine the appropriate level and duration of security.

When circumstances suggest a credible threat of violence or criminal activity, management should involve law enforcement and appropriate legal or human-resources professionals.

Security During an Employee Termination

The security plan should reflect the circumstances rather than making every termination look like a tactical operation.

In some situations, security personnel may remain nearby and out of immediate view.

In higher-risk situations, a visible security presence may be appropriate.

Security personnel can monitor the surrounding environment, remain available if behavior escalates, help protect employees, and support established access and safety procedures.

The goal is to allow management to conduct the termination professionally while having an appropriate security resource available if the situation changes.

Security After an Employee Termination

The security concern does not necessarily end when the former employee leaves.

A terminated employee may attempt to return later that day, the following morning, or sometime afterward.

When management identifies a continuing concern, PGSS can maintain temporary security after the termination.

Coverage can include:

• Entrance security
• Parking lot patrols
• Employee escorts
• Mobile patrols
• Access control
• Monitoring for the former employee
• Protection for specifically threatened employees
• After-hours security
• Executive protection

Coverage can remain in place for the period determined appropriate by the client and circumstances.

Immediately Disable Access Credentials

Access control should be coordinated with the termination process.

When appropriate, employers should promptly recover or deactivate company-issued:

• Identification badges
• Electronic access cards
• Keys
• Gate credentials
• Parking credentials
• Building access codes
• Company devices
• Other physical or electronic access permissions

Security personnel can then work from updated information regarding who is and is not authorized to enter the property.

This reduces the possibility that a former employee can use previously authorized credentials to regain access.

Workplace Threat Response

Not every workplace threat involves an employee termination.

Businesses can receive threats from customers, clients, former employees, domestic partners, vendors, members of the public, or individuals with a grievance against the organization.

PGSS can provide additional security after threats involving:

• Threatening phone calls or messages
• Threatening emails
• Social media threats
• Harassment
• Stalking
• Domestic situations affecting the workplace
• Threats against management
• Threats against employees
• Suspicious individuals
• Repeated unwanted visits
• Previous violent incidents

Security coverage can be adjusted as circumstances change.

Former Employee Threats & Unauthorized Return

A former employee who returns after being terminated can create significant concern, particularly when management has already identified threatening or hostile behavior.

PGSS security personnel can monitor designated entrances and other areas for individuals who are no longer authorized to access the property.

If a former employee returns, security personnel can respond according to the client’s procedures, applicable law, and the circumstances encountered.

When behavior involves threats, violence, criminal activity, or another situation requiring police intervention, law enforcement should be contacted.

Domestic Violence That Reaches the Workplace

Domestic violence and stalking situations can sometimes extend into the workplace.

An employee may be threatened by a spouse, former partner, family member, or other individual who knows where the employee works.

PGSS can provide additional workplace security when an employer becomes aware of a legitimate concern affecting an employee.

Depending on the situation, security can include entrance monitoring, parking lot security, employee escorts, access control, mobile patrols, and protection around arrival and departure periods.

Employers should also coordinate with law enforcement, legal counsel, human resources, and other appropriate resources based on the circumstances.

Access Control During Elevated Threats

Access control becomes particularly important when a known individual may attempt to enter the property.

PGSS can position security personnel at designated entrances and follow client-established procedures for employees, visitors, contractors, and other individuals.

Security personnel can be provided with relevant information regarding individuals who are no longer authorized to enter the property.

Temporary access-control procedures can also be implemented during periods of elevated concern.

Employee & Executive Security Escorts

When an individual employee or manager has been specifically threatened, additional protection may be appropriate during arrival and departure.

PGSS can provide security escorts between the workplace and designated vehicles or parking areas.

For individuals facing more significant threats, PGSS can also provide executive protection services involving closer personal protection, route planning, vehicle movements, and security between multiple locations.

Parking Lot Security

Parking areas can become particularly important during workplace threat situations.

Employees may be more vulnerable while walking between the workplace and their vehicles, particularly during early mornings, evenings, or overnight hours.

PGSS can provide visible parking-area security, mobile patrols, foot patrols, and employee escorts during periods of elevated concern.

De-Escalation & Professional Communication

Workplace security should not unnecessarily escalate an already difficult situation.

When circumstances permit, professional communication and de-escalation can help prevent confrontational behavior from becoming more serious.

PGSS emphasizes situational awareness, communication, maintaining appropriate distance, recognizing escalating behavior, and attempting to gain voluntary cooperation when reasonably possible.

Security personnel must also recognize when circumstances require disengagement, additional resources, or law enforcement assistance.

Threat Documentation & Incident Reporting

Documentation can become extremely important when threatening behavior develops over time.

Employers should preserve relevant communications and maintain accurate records of concerning incidents.

PGSS personnel can document security-related observations and incidents occurring during an assignment, including:

• Threatening behavior
• Unauthorized access attempts
• Suspicious vehicles
• Unwanted visits
• Trespassing
• Security incidents
• Relevant statements
• Property damage
• Other concerning activity

Professional security reporting can help management identify patterns and maintain a record of events.

Coordination With Law Enforcement

Private security does not replace law enforcement.

If an individual makes a credible threat, commits a crime, becomes violent, violates an applicable court order, or creates an immediate danger, law enforcement should be contacted.

When appropriate, PGSS personnel can assist responding officers by providing observations, directing them to the appropriate location, identifying relevant areas of the property, and providing available incident information.

Businesses should not wait for a security guard to arrive before calling 911 when an immediate emergency exists.

Workplace Violence Security for Healthcare Facilities

Healthcare organizations can experience threats involving patients, visitors, former employees, domestic situations, or other individuals.

PGSS can provide additional armed security for hospitals, medical offices, clinics, behavioral health facilities, and other healthcare environments dealing with an identified threat.

Coverage can include entrances, employee areas, parking facilities, administrative offices, and other locations based on the circumstances.

Workplace Violence Security for Offices & Commercial Properties

Corporate offices and commercial properties may require temporary security following threats, terminations, harassment, stalking, or suspicious activity.

PGSS can work with business owners, corporate management, human resources, property managers, and other designated representatives to establish temporary security procedures.

For multi-tenant buildings, security planning can also account for common entrances, elevators, parking garages, lobbies, and shared areas.

Workplace Violence Security for Retail & Public-Facing Businesses

Retailers and other public-facing businesses can encounter threatening customers, former employees, repeat offenders, or individuals involved in previous disturbances.

PGSS can provide additional security at entrances, customer areas, parking lots, employee areas, and other designated locations.

Coverage can be temporary following an incident or incorporated into an ongoing security program.

Temporary Security Following a Threat

Many workplace threat situations do not require permanent additional security.

PGSS can provide temporary coverage for:

• Employee terminations
• Former employee threats
• Workplace violence incidents
• Threatening customers or clients
• Domestic violence concerns
• Stalking or harassment
• Suspicious individuals
• Threatening communications
• Court proceedings involving employees
• Temporary access-control concerns
• Other elevated-risk situations

Security can be provided for a few hours, a single day, several days, multiple weeks, or longer when necessary.
