FAQs

What's the difference between armed and unarmed security officers?

Armed security officers provide an elevated level of protection suitable for high-risk environments or valuable assets. They undergo additional specialized training in firearms, tactical response, and threat management. While unarmed officers excel at general security duties, armed officers are specifically trained to respond to serious security threats and provide a stronger deterrent presence.

Armed security is commonly required for financial institutions, government facilities, high-value retail locations, data centers, executive protection details, and high-risk industrial sites. We also provide armed security for special events, cash transport, and other situations where enhanced security presence is necessary.

We conduct thorough background checks, drug screening, and psychological evaluations before hiring. Officers undergo continuous performance monitoring, regular supervisory evaluations, and ongoing training. We maintain strict professional standards for appearance, conduct, and job performance, with zero tolerance for unprofessional behavior.

Our security offecers are trained to maintain a professional, approachable demeanor while remaining vigilant. They understand the importance of customer service in various environments and adapt their approach accordingly. Officers receive specific training in professional interaction, communication skills, and maintaining appropriate security presence.

Armed security costs vary based on factors including hours of coverage, number of officers needed, specific duties required, and level of risk. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific security needs. While armed security represents a higher investment than unarmed services, we work to develop cost-effective solutions that meet both security requirements and budget considerations.
