Security officers are deployed to corporate spaces in Surrey on being adequately trained. Using radios and code words for effective communication is a part of the training.


For the corporate security officers, communication is the key while they are doing their shifts. Fluent and transparent communication is the topmost skill for the security officer. Every employed security officer at the corporate spaces in Surrey uses the radios which serve a great deal of purposes during their shifts. The radios help them to communicate faster when danger arises or any malicious activities are detected. So, they can send around the information swiftly without having to run back and forth, and waste energy.

The radio procedures are closely followed by the hired corporate security officers in Surrey that enable them to concise, quick, and accurate information transmission by the aid of radios.
 
i. The Basic Radio Procedures

Adhering to the strict radio procedures all the time, they make sure to use optimum use of the handheld radios, vehicle radio setups, and the control room telephones. It is crucial for them to follow the procedures for several reasons, like to preserve the information security - the information being passed among the officers.  Through the radios, they can be aware of whether anyone else is listening to the information they are passing over the radios.  That is why; they disguise the operatives’ names and locations in code and call signs for avoiding information leakage to the others.

ii. Using the Code Words

Both the code words and call signs are used for the same purpose, which is to keep the message's true meaning hidden from the outsiders. Often the main reason is avoiding panic or chaos creation for the venue guests. The situation can best be explained through a situation's example where either a potential bomb or a fire has been detected in the building’s particular area. During these cases, they have to operate tactfully so as not to trigger fear and panic. So they are calm while communicating with their colleague officers close to the incident's location by using the code phrases or code words. For example, they abide by the alternative “code yellow” or “amber” other than shouting the “word” fire over the radio. When the cases are serious, then the code word is “code red” according to the agreed codes at the time of briefing.

iii. Being Attentive To the Radio Calls

Since the very beginning of their duty, the security officers are highly cautious about paying adequate attention while using the radios. They ensure they do not forget their call signs and are never late give replies. Thus they are extremely attentive so they do not miss out the crucial information. Hence, by being careful, they can save lives and prevent accidents and property loss. As it is imperative, they know their call signs and even check their radio volumes before they are assigned to the position.

At the time of their duties, the security guards make sure they are using their radios effectively. As they are required to be, they are extremely cautious while fulfilling their role as the corporate security officers. The entire corporate building can function peacefully thanks to the cooperation of the security officers. Every hired officers share a mutual understanding and are familiar with the code words in the security industry. Based on the situations, they exchange information using the code words.
