We provide clients with off-duty police officers who carry concealed weapons and bring specialized experience and equipment. For example, the license required to carry a concealed weapon in California is unique and generally unavailable to most armed guards. In certain situations, it is preferable to have an officer with a concealed weapon on site rather than a guard with an exposed firearm. Such cases include high-sensitivity locations or sites that are frequently targeted for theft and therefore require a higher level of surveillance and response. Officers carrying concealed weapons may or may not wear uniforms, depending on the assignment.

Many security services do not require guards to be armed. In fact, the presence of a uniformed guard alone is often sufficient to deter violence. Such services are typically used in high-traffic locations such as shopping malls and supermarkets. The purpose of the uniformed guard is to project authority and create a secure environment for shoppers, while also signaling to potential criminals that the location is protected.

Armed Guards are extensively trained in the use of firearms and licensed to carry a weapon. While most shopping malls and supermarkets may not necessarily require the presence of an armed guard, many types of businesses perceive armed guards as a necessity. Businesses that handle high-value items such as fine jewelry, antiques, or large volumes of cash typically prefer to employ an armed guard to ensure the safety of their personnel and assets, as well as to escort them from one location to another.

Bodyguards trained in the art of executive protection are highly qualified individuals with extensive training and the capability to defend executives and VIPs.

Quest National Security places particular emphasis on qualifications when hiring employees for executive protection roles. In addition to any prior training these individuals may have, QNS applies rigorous training and verification methods that result in unmatched personnel quality, combining professional expertise, years of experience, and thorough personality evaluations.

The protection we offer is tailored to meet each client’s needs. It typically includes secure transportation to and from the workplace, and for individuals facing threats, round-the-clock protection is often required.

In addition, QNS provides expert surveillance services. The professional backgrounds of our bodyguards include personnel certified by JRIC and trained in IED recognition. Our TLOs (Terrorism Liaison Officers) often have prior military or law enforcement experience. Additional training includes SWAT tactics, K-9 handling, and bomb detection.

The purpose of the Robbery Suppression Service is simple: to apprehend criminals before they commit future robberies and to deter local offenders through our visible presence, making them aware of the increased risk of being caught. Unfortunately, many local police departments face heavy caseloads and are unable to allocate the necessary manpower to every case. At the same time, many wireless store robberies are committed by the same individuals or criminal gangs.

In fact, by utilizing our resources and law enforcement expertise, Quest National Security (QNS) has successfully resolved several of our clients’ robbery cases within hours.

Robbery Suppression Security Services Include:

A specialized team of two officers is dispatched to client locations to investigate and gather intelligence immediately after a robbery. This team works in close coordination with local police departments to facilitate the swift apprehension of suspects and prevent further crimes often committed by the same individuals targeting multiple locations.

The team leverages in-depth, hands-on street knowledge and maintains strong connections with local informants, active-duty police officers, and the necessary technology to solve such crimes efficiently.

QNS collaborates and shares intelligence with LAPD, LASD, and numerous smaller law enforcement agencies. In many cases, we receive real-time updates on known offenders and robbery activities.

Our professional security teams are also well-connected with SIS, Major Crimes Division, NARCO, Robbery-Homicide Division, ATF, DEA, and ICE.

Additional Areas of Expertise – QNS Robbery Suppression Units:

• Investigations and Surveillance

• Suspect Apprehension

• Court Qualified (in most cities)

• Experience dealing with local gangs

• Extensive K-9 and SWAT Training

Many security services offered by Quest National Security include the use of a security vehicle.

Vehicle patrols are often considered valuable for several reasons:

Coverage of large areas: Some locations are too expansive for individual security officers on foot to patrol effectively.

Visible deterrent: The presence of a clearly marked security vehicle serves as a strong deterrent to criminal activity. A visible patrol can go a long way in preventing incidents before they occur.

Rapid response: The ability to respond quickly and pursue suspects when needed is a key advantage of mobile patrols.

Cost efficiency: In certain cases, a security vehicle may reduce overall costs by replacing the need for multiple on-site guards.

Many businesses suffer losses due to theft committed by shoplifters, as well as by criminals who act independently or coordinate with store employees using inside information.

In many large retail operations, employee theft is also a significant issue. These incidents can occur inside the store, in the warehouse, or at other facilities often during regular business hours.

Loss prevention is a specialized form of private investigation that involves various methods designed to reduce or eliminate business losses.

These losses are not limited to shoplifting or direct theft. According to the 2006 National Retail Security Survey, retail operations experienced an average annual inventory shrinkage of 1.57%.

The survey breaks down the causes of shrinkage into the following categories:

46.8% – Employee theft

31.6% – Shoplifting

14.4% – Administrative errors

3.75% – Vendor fraud/errors

2.86% – Unknown causes

While the majority of retailers report losses of less than 2% annually, some experience average monthly or yearly losses as high as 20%.

Quest National Security specializes in Loss Prevention (LP) services, employing highly trained individuals with extensive experience in the field. Our personnel are equipped with the tools and strategies necessary to reduce losses caused by both external theft and internal employee-related incidents.

QNS provides clients with a comprehensive analysis of the current security measures in place at their business. We also advise on the enhancements needed to meet your specific security goals and expectations.

With the experience, knowledge, and expertise to handle even the most complex security situations such as providing 24/7 protection during the 2003 Super Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California, we are confident in our ability to deliver actionable security solutions that get results.

Extradition is the legal process by which an accused or convicted person is surrendered by one state or country to another for prosecution or punishment.

Extradition services involve the secure and lawful transportation of such individuals from one jurisdiction to another.

Quest National Security utilizes specialized vehicles and highly trained officers who are experts in the legal procedures surrounding extradition.

Our teams are professional, discreet, and experienced in handling prisoner transfers with the utmost care and compliance, ensuring secure and efficient escort from one location to another.
