AED, Fire Alarm Systems & CCTV Monitoring

Elite Guard is pioneering the security industry by integrating 24-hour emergency advance life support units within its security function.

Through experience, we know that security officers may be alone with a patient at an emergency scene for 6 to 9 minutes before emergency services arrive. What is done in this time is critical. That is why we train officers in CPR, as well as Automated External Defibrillator (AED), when our clients have contracted with us for this service.

CPR and early defibrillation (regulation of the heart’s rhythm) can make a difference between life and death.

Our security personnel are trained to quickly assess medical emergencies and provide immediate life support techniques to help assure the survival, safety, comfort and confidence of the patient.

Elite Guard also recognizes that not all fire alarm control panel systems are alike. Therefore our office will work with your fire alarm service provider in training all Elite Guard security personnel assigned to your property.
