Security on-site sends a powerful message that inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
One of the most significant advantages of having security guard services is the visible deterrence they provide. Their presence alone discourages potential troublemakers and criminals from engaging in unlawful activities.
Knowing that trained security personnel are on site sends a powerful message that inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
Government security agencies are often stretched thin, focusing on broader security concerns. Private security guards, on the other hand, can concentrate solely on the safety and security of the transportation facility and its passengers. This specialization enhances their effectiveness as deterrents.

Crisis Planning: School Bus Security Protocols
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
School transportation officials are assessing school bus security and emergency planning as an important part of crisis planning. School bus drivers are the first and last school employees to see school children on a daily basis. Buses are simply extensions of our schools.
Many school bus drivers have not received adequate training, and in some cases any training at all, on dealing with school safety threats. In addition to student misconduct, irate parents also pose a concern to school bus drivers.

There’s a big difference between crowd control – versus crowd management.
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
There is no federal law on crowd safety. But the National Fire Protection Association’s 101 Life Safety Code is considered the gold standard. Many of us remember the Who concert tragedy decades ago.
There’s a big difference between crowd control – or trying to keep people in designated areas – versus crowd management, which considers the psychology of the crowd and predicts what problems might arise.
