Armed Security

CONSIDERING ARMED GUARD SECURITY:
An important choice with many concerns; and some examples may include: Retail security with large amounts of cash or other valuables, when direct threats are present, terminated employees security, Workplace violence, VIP/Executive/Bodyguard security, industrial hazards or sensitive equipment when sabotage or terrorist threats are a concern. When large sums of cash are transported, high risks of violence, or expectations of criminal activity are at risk. Based on the former, armed security may be the best option to protect and deter criminal incidents. Another consideration is whether the armed Guard is uniformed or Plain Clothes with the firearm concealed; with concealed, the Guard requires a valid CCW permit, (Concealed Carry Weapon) and we offer both options and have qualified Guards. We will gladly consult with you about your choices and planning.


ARMED GUARD SELECTION:
We have our armed guards carefully selected, screened, with a clean ‘No criminal history’ CO background checks, or National checks if needed, firing range qualified annually as the minimum, and trained for the standards of specific posts they will work. Additionally, we schedule armed security guards with the proper background experience of actually using force and or verbal communication in confronting violent suspects. When detainment is required, proper techniques in using handcuffs is part of the training. Another concern, is the guards being physically fit for successful incident response and the ability to retain the firearm from a criminal attempt to take the firearm from the Guard. These and other concerns are important, so the armed guards will have the ability to protect property and people from criminal suspects; and the guards will know proper safety of handling the firearm in the event of an incident.
