Fast Guard Service Urges U.S. Businesses to Strengthen On-Call Security Measures Amid Holiday Weekend Shootings
Following Thanksgiving weekend’s tragic shootings, Fast Guard Service announces expanded on-call security solutions to help companies protect lives and property
MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, December 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Following two tragic shooting incidents over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Fast Guard Service is calling on businesses, event venues, and property owners nationwide to reinforce their on-call security protocols. At the same time, the company is warning that online review platforms — once designed to help consumers — are increasingly being weaponized to damage businesses after public safety incidents, even when they are not at fault.
Fast Guard Service, a leading national provider of armed security guards, event security, fire watch protection, and employee-termination security services, is using its latest episode of Fast Guard News to highlight how quickly a business can face reputational and operational harm when violence occurs nearby or when misinformation spreads online.
Holiday Weekend Shootings Highlight Urgent Need for Professional Security
Two separate incidents over Thanksgiving weekend underscore the severity of today’s risk landscape:
Stockton, California Mass Shooting: A birthday party for a 2-year-old became the site of a mass-casualty event, leaving four young individuals dead (ages 8, 9, 14, and 21) and more than 11 injured. Investigators believe the violence stemmed from a dispute involving a local rapper.
Seminole Hard Rock (Ghost Bar) Shooting: A second shooting left at least one person hospitalized as new details continue to emerge.
While these tragedies are unrelated to the businesses hosting or surrounding the events, many such venues face immediate backlash online, including false accusations, misplaced blame, and negative reviews from people not present at the scene.
Reputation Damage Now Occurs Faster Than Incident Response
Fast Guard Service warns that the aftermath of violent incidents now includes a digital component: review bombing, where false or malicious online reviews rapidly pile up.
“Businesses are being judged — and punished — within minutes of an incident, even when they have followed every safety protocol,” said Roderick C. Payne Jr President of Fast Guard Service. “Without proper security and a crisis-response plan, a single event can destroy years of reputation-building.”
In the new Fast Guard News episode, the company explains why online platforms such as Google Reviews and Yelp often fail to detect targeted attacks, leaving business owners vulnerable to manipulation and misinformation.
Why Businesses Are Turning to On-Call Security Services
Fast Guard Service reports a growing demand for rapid-response and preventive security services, particularly:
Armed Security Guards — for high-risk environments, nightlife venues, retail centers, and conflict-prone locations.
Event Security Guards — for concerts, private events, festivals, corporate gatherings, and holiday celebrations.
Fire Watch Security Services — to protect properties during system failures, construction, or code-compliance issues.
Employee-Termination Security Officers — to ensure safe dismissals and prevent workplace violence.
The company emphasizes that professional security is no longer optional — it is a reputational safeguard, a liability-reduction strategy, and a necessary layer of protection in today’s climate.

Fast Guard Service encourages businesses to schedule a security needs assessment before the upcoming holiday and event season.
