Armed & Unarmed Security Officers
Not every site, event, or operation needs the same kind of security presence. Some environments call for a highly visible, unarmed officer focused on customer service, access control, and deterrence. Others demand an elevated level of protection with trained, licensed armed officers ready to respond to higher-risk situations.

Secure Guard Security Services provides both armed and unarmed security officers, allowing us to match the right type of protection to the actual risk, culture, and expectations of your property. Our goal is always the same: create a safe environment, reduce liability, and support your team and guests with a professional, reliable security presence.
Armed Security Officers
When the risk profile is higher—due to location, operations, assets, or prior incidents—armed officers may be appropriate. Secure Guard’s armed officers are carefully selected, state-licensed, and trained to strict standards. The emphasis is on judgment, restraint, and responsible use of their authority and equipment.
These officers are typically deployed at locations where a stronger deterrent presence is needed or where there is a foreseeable potential for serious threats. Their role is not only to respond if something happens, but to discourage criminal activity simply by their presence, awareness, and readiness.
Unarmed Security Officers
Our unarmed officers serve as the front line of safety and customer service on many of our accounts. They are trained to be approachable, observant, and consistent in enforcing your policies.
Typical responsibilities include greeting visitors, monitoring access points, patrolling buildings and grounds, writing detailed reports, responding to disturbances, and escalating issues according to your protocols. In residential, commercial, and hospitality environments, unarmed officers help create a calm, professional atmosphere that reassures tenants, employees, residents, and guests.
Training, Standards, and Oversight
Armed officers receive additional firearms training, qualifications, and ongoing recertification as required by law and by our internal standards. We place particular emphasis on judgment, use-of-force decision-making, and communication under stress.
All officers in the field are supported by Secure Guard’s 24/7 Dispatch & Operations Center, which helps coordinate responses, monitor activity, and route critical information to supervisors and clients. Supervisors conduct site visits, performance checks, and ongoing coaching to ensure consistent service.
Integrating Officers into Your Security Program
For some clients, that means unarmed lobby officers working hand-in-hand with video monitoring and mobile patrols. For others, it may mean armed officers at exterior gates or high-risk posts, supported by unarmed officers inside the facility.
We design post orders that reflect your operations: how people enter and exit, where the risks are, how incidents should be handled, and who needs to be notified. Our mission is to make security feel like a natural extension of how your property already operates.
Where We Serve
Secure Guard provides armed and unarmed officers across a wide range of industries and property types, backed by regional knowledge, local insight, and responsive field supervision.

Why Choose Secure Guard for Armed & Unarmed Security?
Clients choose Secure Guard Security Services because we combine local commitment with a structured, professional approach to building and managing your security program.
Matching Officer Type to Real-World Risk
We don’t place armed or unarmed officers by default. Our team reviews your operations, prior incidents, and exposure to determine whether an armed, unarmed, or blended model is the right fit for each post.
Consistent, Well-Trained Personnel
Every officer goes through structured onboarding, post-specific training, and ongoing supervision. Field supervisors and quality checks help ensure that the service you see on day 90 matches the promise we made on day one.
24/7 Dispatch & Clear Communication
Our 24/7 Dispatch & Operations Center monitors sites, supports officers, and keeps you informed. You always know who to contact, what is happening, and how incidents are being handled.
Flexible & Scalable Security Programs
From a single unarmed lobby officer to a multi-site program with blended armed and unarmed teams, we design programs that can scale up, scale down, or shift focus as your operations evolve.
Build the Right Security Program for Your Property
If you’re unsure whether your site needs armed officers, unarmed officers, or a combination of both, we can help you evaluate your risk and choose a responsible, effective path forward.
