This question is the opening soliloquy in Act 3, scene 1 of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. The most common and often debated interpretation of this discourse revolves around the eternal dilemma: Is it better to live or to die?

Similarly, the question of in-house versus contract security has been debated for years without consensus. However - the times are changing.

Many business owners believe they can provide their own security services at a lower cost than contract security providers. In a very few situations, this may be true, but in most cases it is definitely not the case. The following lists a few reasons you may not have considered in formulating your decision regarding in-house versus contract security:

• Your insurance carrier in most circumstances will not defend you for actions taken by your in-house security personnel.

• In the event of a judgment of wrong doing by your security personnel, your insurance carrier will not provide financial coverage for that judgment.

• Your workman’s compensation rate must be calculated at the security rate which is normally higher than that for office personnel.

• Losses may actually be higher from in house security

These are just a few reasons to consider when making a security decision.
