Security has become an inevitable part of today's dynamic world. Here comes the role of security guards. A security guard, otherwise known as security officer, is of supreme importance in almost all such arenas as physical security of personnel, monitoring specialized events, and protecting invaluable properties by maintaining high visibility presence to detect illegal or inappropriate actions. In other words, security guards are usually employed by a company or an organization to monitor, patrol, preserve, and protect personnel as well as property, against theft, fire, terrorism, or vandalism. Security Guards' services and duties also cover safeguarding their employer's investment, detect criminal activity, and enforce laws on the property. At a glance, the motto of security guards is to ‘detect, deter, observe, and report.

If that hasn't inspired confidence and given you the incentive to give up already then there maybe some hope for you. Just remember design isn't rocket science, although technically speaking the rocket did have to be designed at some stage so blah blah blah etc. etc...

Top Tip: Please don't ask for a drop down menu. It looks fairly simple to do and your competitors all have them but we still can't get it working right and god knows we've tried, god knows we've tried...

Up until now we've been keeping our heads down and getting on very nicely, thankyou very much. that's all about to end. Enter the world of website design. On paper it sounds easy enough - transfer what you've produced in your company brochure design up there on the old gogglebox. An easy mistake to make, what you haven't taken into account is that web design was introduced to the world less by design more by some kind of nerd magic. To get anywhere near close to producing something that looks ok on paper onto a screen takes the kind of patience and understanding not normally found in your typical right thinking human being. Suffice to say you can only have your website based on a three column grid and no you can't have it in your company colours, you'll have it in grey or nothing, alright?

Top Tip: Don't allow anyone to persuade you into going for a tailored die cut folder design. It's incredibly difficult for printers to get anything right and you're begging for trouble. Remember K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid.

Now we're cooking on gas. We've established a profound, daring, yet ultimately affectionate corporate logo design. We've taken the plunge and ordered well in excess of a quarter of a million business cards - sexy. Now comes the pinnacle of our design excitement. The corporate - or if you prefer - laid back brochure or folder design. Opinion is divided on what constitutes the best visual plan of attack on this matter. Some opt for the meat and potatoes style A4 brochure design. It's not particularly clever or innovative but only the most limited retard could fail to work out what your meant to do with it, i.e. turn the pages from right to left and look at the pages, pausing occasionally to read any words or look at pictures. Others are more inclined to go down the less tried and tested folder and inserts route - scary! Just remember to make it look nice rather than ugly and you'll not go too far wrong

Top Tip: Try to avoid using large blocks of flat colour on letterheads and compliment slips. 9 times out of 10 the inks will start to fade on the print run and its going to look a bit shoddy.

Step 2: The Business Stationary Design. The holy trinity in the designers canon. Your business card, your letterhead and not forgetting wee little compliment slip hiding away behind his big A4 size wise cracking brother. It's imperative for every new business to order far more business stationary than they can ever hope to use. Typical figures for example might be a thousand double sided matt laminated business cards. You'll be impressed with the quality and feel for approximatly one week. Copiously handing them out at soirees and meet and greets before filing the remainder away in a drawer never to be seen again. As for letterhead and compliment slips, why not plumb for another couple of thousand print run with maybe an embossed logo to impress any blind friends you might have? Key design concepts are to try and make them in some way different from the billions of other designs that have gone before.

Top Tip: Letterspacing - increase the spacing between each letter to a ridiculously large amount. This will then give a standard typeface such as ariel a new dignified gravitas that speaks volumes about your cutting edge new business design.

What? you want to hear the long, boring answer? All right we'll save the secret to a successful logo design for another tutorial then. The first thing you need to do is establish your market, its no good trying to be all things to all men - it can't be done. Lets say we are aiming at pretty young girls - and thats not a bad market to try and tap. Go for something pink and frilly and your halfway home. Alternatively for boys you might want to pick a blue fat typeface. For a corporate market you'd be a twat to move far away from greys, blues and reds.

In terms of financial resources, the average salary and benefit package for a police officer is about $50.00 per hour. At 25,000 personnel hours times $50, the deparment has just saved itself $1,250,000.00 Imagine someone handing your department that kind of money and having the freedom to apply it to achieve far more substantial results. This example is one of literally dozens that if applied, would result in the department being able to reinvest 25-35% or more of its existing budget. Imagine the outcomes after applying the methodology to every department in a city or county.

Let's calculate the impact of the Six Sigma change. Assume each call takes an hour. Now, the police department has freed up 25,000 personnel hours to deploy as they see fit on true mission-oriented activities, such as crime problems.
National Geographic Channel
In terms of fiscal and personnel resources, let's say that 50% of those calls are calls that don't support your mission. That's 50,000 calls for service. It's unreasonable to eliminate all 50,000 of these, but if, over time, the department reduces these calls by half, or 25,000 calls for service, we've made progress.
National Geographic Channel
Here's an example of how Six Sigma works in a local police department. Assume the department handles 100,000 calls for service each year. Research estimates that between 50-70% of calls for service where officers are actually dispatched have little or no relationship to the police mission. As a consequence, the department requests additional staffing and resources every year at budget time. They need a far more effective policing strategy and by truly partnering with the community and asking for their help on these activities (for example, "Before you call 9-1-1, do this....."), the change significantly impacts the police budget.

Six Sigma was developed by the Motorola Company in the mid-1980's in an effort to identify and reduce defects. General Electric, under Jack Welch, adopted the methodology, and both companies dramatically improved their processes, resulting in large-scale cost savings, and enhanced profitability.

Six Sigma is a process improvement methodology that identifies and eliminates defects, re-works, and redundancies in any process in your organization. It has been described, accurately so, as the most powerful management system ever devised. Six Sigma is applicable to any organization, any business, and will results in substantial internal savings.
National Geographic Channel
One solution, called Six Sigma, is what has saved the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana more than $7 million over the past few years. Six Sigma technology is used by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Navy, Air Force, Marines and the Army. The top corporations using Six Sigma have, in the last ten years, reduced internal costs and increased profits by more than $100 billion.

Most governmental agencies are looking for more effective ways to stretch their department budget dollars. They want to work smart, not harder and need a way to identify what is really costing them time, money and labor hours. They recognize that a simple way to implement management strategies is exceptionally important and want their staff to not only understand their overall mission, but also carry out that mission in their everyday activities.

Just because you’re working from home doesn’t mean you should totally forget about moving up the career ladder. Working from home basically means having a change of settings, but you should still formulate a clear plan to map out your future.

People rarely find their first home-based jobs able to provide adequately for their necessities. Thus, if you’re truly serious about working from home, you need to be prepared to tighten your belt for a certain period of time or until you finally start earning sufficiently from your new line of work. Devise a new – and stricter – budget plan.

Don’t quit your day job just yet. As mentioned earlier on, make sure that you already have something to lean back on before handing in your resignation letter. It’s also better if you don’t take just any home-based job but rather one that you can foresee yourself of having for a long, long time and quite happily at that.

Working from home will usually have a domino effect on your family life. By quitting your job, you might be forcing your family to reduce their spending or even change – albeit temporarily – their very lifestyle to accommodate your decision

Are you sure you really want to work from home? Although working from home is less stressful in normal circumstances, it also means being caged within the four walls of your home day in and day out. Are you ready for those inevitable instances of tediousness?
National Geographic Channel
Many hit the jackpot with a home-based job, but there is probably an equal number of people as well who end up suffering from worse financial problems because they risked leaving their work for a home-based job. If you really want to work from home, make sure that you’re ready for all possible consequences. Don’t take the jump if you’re not sure there’s someone to catch you…and that someone has enough strength to hold you for some time.
National Geographic Channel
If, on the other hand, you’re already alone in this world for whatever reason then there’s no clear advantage to work from home. If your colleagues are already like family to you then working from home will just isolate you instead of helping you maintain closer relationships with the people you care for.

If your present job is extremely demanding and forcing you to spend too little time with your family and loved ones then yes, it might be more ideal for you to work from home. If sheer geographical distance is keeping you away from your loved ones then definitely, working from home is more preferable.
National Geographic Channel
A lot of people say that working from home is more preferable than working in a traditional company setting and although there are certain advantages to working from home, it ultimately depends on the person whether these advantages are indeed advantages for her perspective.
