Your organization has a unique risk profile that demands an appropriate security response. Unarmed guards are often effective, but high-crime environments demand highly-trained, armed security guards who ensure:
Many organizations require armed security guards on-site to safeguard personnel and critical assets. If your business handles large volumes of cash, stores valuable inventory, or stages heavily-attended events, a strong security presence helps maintain safety for everyone on-site. Event venues, warehouses, and healthcare facilities often find themselves having to hire armed guards on short notice. Partnering with a reliable armed security guard company before incidents occur is an excellent way to avoid surprises and ensure safe and productive operations at your job site.
An armed guard is responsible for maintaining a secure environment by deterring and responding to potential threats. They may conduct patrols, monitor surveillance systems, control access points, and intervene in situations that require the use of force while adhering to strict guidelines and regulations.
Both unarmed and armed guards help improve on-site safety outcomes by protecting valuable assets and providing peace of mind to employees and customers. If your job site is threatened by high rates of crime or slow police response time, a heightened level of security is required. Armed guards fulfill all the same duties as unarmed guards, but have additional tools and training to deter armed wrongdoers and respond effectively in high-risk situations.
Yes, armed security guards undergo rigorous training programs that include firearm safety, marksmanship, and laws regarding the use of force. They are trained to handle firearms responsibly, ensuring their safety and that of others while employing appropriate force only when necessary and within legal boundaries.
Armed security guards typically undergo comprehensive background checks and must meet strict eligibility requirements, including completing specialized training programs, obtaining relevant licenses or permits, and demonstrating proficiency in handling firearms. Each state and some local jurisdictions have their own requirements for armed guard certification, but all require background checks and specialized training in properly using firearms.
Armed security guards can be deployed in a wide range of settings, such as corporate offices, industrial facilities, retail stores, residential communities, entertainment venues, and more. Their presence and expertise can be tailored to fit the specific security needs of any business or industry.
The cost of hiring an armed security guard can vary depending on the location, level of experience and training of the guard, the duration of the assignment, and your team’s specific security needs. It’s important to note that armed security guards generally have higher hourly rates than unarmed guards due to the additional training and responsibility involved. We recommend contacting us for an estimate to determine the exact cost of hiring an armed security guard. We can assess your requirements and provide a tailored quote based on your needs and budget.
