​
What are common security risks in Northern Virginia workplaces?
Typical risks include unauthorized access, employee conflicts, workplace violence, theft, loitering, vandalism, and gaps in emergency planning. Many organizations don’t realize how much liability they carry until an incident occurs. A security assessment can identify weaknesses before they become problems.

Yes. EGS provides specialized programs on conflict resolution, verbal persuasion, situational awareness, and disengagement tactics. These courses help staff prevent escalation and reduce liability.
Church & School Security

Schools benefit most from layered security: trained officers, access control, visitor management, emergency plans, drills, and staff training. EGS provides risk assessments and ongoing protection services for private schools across Virginia & Maryland.
​
Do churches in Virginia need formal security teams?
Many do. Houses of worship face risks ranging from disruptive individuals to targeted violence. We help churches build volunteer teams, train greeters and staff, and provide professional armed or unarmed officers when needed.
Patrol & Property Protection
Do you provide mobile patrol services in Northern Virginia?
Yes. Our patrol officers conduct randomized checks, respond to incidents, document activity, and maintain visibility to prevent problems before they occur. Patrols are common for retail centers, HOAs, construction sites, and corporate campuses.
​
How quickly can you start security services for a property?
Most sites can be staffed within 24–72 hours, depending on the scope, required training, and access needs. Emergency coverage may be available sooner.
