Value of Outsourcing Off Duty

DIY

For years, managers and business leaders have handled the outsourcing of off-duty officers on their own. The challenge presented with this method is this: doing it yourself can be very time consuming and limiting. The business typically has a limited number of resources to draw upon, whether that’s the handful of officers that you already know or the local police department. What looks like a simple task at face value can end up consuming countless hours trying to find the right person, get them onboarded and coordinate their availability (and call-off coverage). Given the increasingly limited number of police officers available, sometimes the business is forced to settle for skeletal coverage.

Summit

Summit handles all of the sourcing and logistics. In an outsourced scenario, the manager or business owner simply calls a dedicated client relationship manager who will help define an effective security plan before pairing the business with the right officer(s) for the job. Summit pulls from a host of law enforcement agencies, not just the local police department, but sheriff’s departments, municipal police, state troopers, etc. We have a 97% staffing fulfillment rate so no post goes dark and your business remains secure.

Summit

By outsourcing off-duty to Summit, the business’s bottom line and reputation is protected from incidents related to onsite security issues handled by Summit officers.

Say, for example, an officer needs to restrain a disorderly patron and that detainee throws something and breaks a window or injures a fellow patron. The cost to replace the window or pay reparations to the other patron will be covered under Summit’s generous general liability (GL) plan. The GL will also defend an officer, as well as the business, if one or the other is faces a law suit. Finally, officers working jobs for Summit have access to workers’ comp and occupational accident insurance.
