Officers control access, deter material and equipment theft, and produce a written record your GC and your insurer can both use.” [Product website](https://tess.global/services/construction-site-security/) Sources: https://tess.global/services/construction-site-security/ ### [Drone security](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-offering-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-offering-89c721ef2feaf49ae72e) “Part 107 aerial patrol, event overwatch, property inspection and drone-first incident response, flown by a licensed crew and paired with officers on the ground. A separate division; the same reports.” [Product website](https://tess.global/services/drone-security/) Sources: https://tess.global/services/drone-security/ ## Questions & answers ### [Marked patrol or a standing officer?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-88300f4cbc67596772d1) “Roving patrol covers more ground per dollar and is the right start for most garden-style communities. A standing post makes sense at the one building or entrance that generates most of the incidents. The log tells you which within a month.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/apartment-complex-patrol/ ### [Will you tow?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-022641ffdc1ca21f8552) “We enforce your parking policy and call your tow company under your contract. We do not tow on our own authority, and every tag and call is logged so a resident dispute has a record.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/apartment-complex-patrol/ ### [How do residents reach the officer?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-9f3bdc7d0dd4798053ea) “Through your after-hours line or a patrol number you publish. The officer responds, documents, and escalates to you or to law enforcement by the rules in the post orders. Residents do not get the officer's personal phone.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/apartment-complex-patrol/ ### [Can this start this week?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-b0de6a393e95b46814aa) “Yes, with 72 hours' notice, for one or two officers. Same-day is confirmed by phone.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/apartment-complex-patrol/ ### [Who decides whether I need a fire watch?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-e00eb4d5039e3f913669) “The authority having jurisdiction: your fire marshal. The Florida Fire Prevention Code requires a watch when a required alarm or sprinkler system is out of service beyond the hours the code allows, and the marshal sets the terms. We staff to what the marshal writes, and our log is built for what the marshal asks to see.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/fire-watch/ ### [Is a fire watch the same as a security post?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-5d596c405947d66d537d) “No. A fire watch officer walks a fixed round looking for fire conditions and logs each one; a security officer controls access and deters theft. One officer can do both on a small property, but it is written and billed as two duties. If you need both, say so and we will size it honestly.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/fire-watch/ ### [How fast can you start?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-6788869160fe4d99404a) “Impairments are urgent by nature, so fire watch is staffed by phone against the live roster rather than through a form. Call dispatch.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/fire-watch/ ### [What do I get when the system is restored?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-a99eddedbe8c56eeb7f7) “The full log, first round to release, as one package. Insurers and inspectors both ask for it, and you will have it before you need it.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/fire-watch/ ### [When should I book?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-09810050d73b6ef48bdc) “Before June, for a standing arrangement that names the property and the plan. Otherwise, the day the forecast cone includes Brevard. Once a watch or a warning is posted the roster fills fast, and post-storm coverage is confirmed by phone against who is actually available.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/hurricane-preparedness/ ### [Do your officers stay through the storm?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-d6bc322f90d397306905) “Ride-out posts are staffed only where the building is rated for it and the property stays occupied. We will not put an officer in a structure under a mandatory evacuation order. Post-storm coverage starts when it is safe to move.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/hurricane-preparedness/ ### [What does the officer actually do before the storm?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-cf92b9da97cc12db6096) “Works your hardening checklist with your staff: doors, gates, equipment, fuel, loose material, and photographs of all of it. The checklist is the document the carrier asks for.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/hurricane-preparedness/ ### [Do you cover other disasters?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-40fa21085f768648f162) “The same posts apply to anything that takes power, access control or occupancy away from a property: a fire, a flood, a long outage. Fire watch is its own service line and is billed separately.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/hurricane-preparedness/ ### [Do we need armed officers on a construction site?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-e670d73b7035dc406f2d) “Usually not. The exposure on a job site is theft of material and equipment, and the correct response to that is observation and documentation, not confrontation. Armed coverage makes sense where there is a history of confrontation on site or the site is isolated with a long law-enforcement response time. We will tell you which one you are.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/construction-site-security/ ### [Can you start tonight?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-7e48bbc321428f993aa7) “Often, for one to three officers, subject to the live roster. Same-day staffing is confirmed by phone rather than through a form, because it depends on who is actually available. Call the dispatch line.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/construction-site-security/ ### [Who is liable if something is stolen while your officer is on post?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-b7280ffd27fa7c4af254) “Our officers deter and document; they are not an insurance product. What our coverage does is establish a timestamped record of who entered, when, and what condition the site was in, which is what your carrier will ask for. Discuss any transfer of risk with your broker before assuming coverage exists.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/construction-site-security/ ### [Can you fly here?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-a771e6c3c90ff274c755) “Much of the Space Coast sits in controlled or restricted airspace: the Cape, Patrick Space Force Base, and the towered fields at Melbourne and Titusville. Where LAANC authorization applies we file for it as part of the lead time; where the airspace is closed, we say so.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/drone-security/ ### [Is this legal in Florida?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-e2c5326b6f80dc369e1b) “Yes, under FAA Part 107 and within Florida's drone privacy statute, F.S. § 934.50, which limits imaging of private property without consent. We fly over property we are engaged to protect, with the owner's authorization recorded in the flight log.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/drone-security/ ### [Does the drone replace the officer?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-4289318997c04aecfb6e) “No. It extends one. A crew sweeps a fence line in minutes that takes an officer an hour, and the officer is who responds to what the crew sees.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/drone-security/ ### [Are you insured to fly?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/tess-global-q140318046#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-b7c46430491eb775-a-06d8f7383fb66779fa2e) “Ask for the certificate. UAS liability is a separate policy from general liability, and a carrier or a venue is right to ask for it before the first flight.” Sources: https://tess.global/services/drone-security/ ## Company sources - [Tess Global website](https://tess.global/) — tess.global - [tess.global/services/apartment-complex-patrol/](https://tess.global/services/apartment-complex-patrol/) — tess.global · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-15321f004157afab) - [tess.global/services/fire-watch/](https://tess.global/services/fire-watch/) — tess.global · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-e2dcefdf8adf040d) - [tess.global/services/hurricane-preparedness/](https://tess.global/services/hurricane-preparedness/) — tess.global · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-45a2800c5468d4f3) - [tess.global/services/construction-site-security/](https://tess.global/services/construction-site-security/) — tess.global · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-5e96892ecf9aa137) - [tess.global/services/drone-security/](https://tess.global/services/drone-security/) — tess.global · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-6c3479a826767c50) - [wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q140318046.json](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q140318046.json?revision=2509448461) — wikidata.org · [Related Ready Scan knowledge](https://readyscan.ai/sources/source-b2fdb6deacf8d8a6) ## Continue reading - Discover the bounded graph: https://readyscan.ai/api/v1/ai-search/discovery - Retrieve this entity evidence: https://readyscan.ai/api/v1/ai-search/entities/tess-global-q140318046/evidence ## Publication boundary - This public-sourced record brings together company information and its sources.
