What Are Unarmed Security Services? Security services provides you, your company, or your property with critical private protection. Each guard is unarmed and allowed to operate on private property or within the bounds of property. Every guard that we place with your company is required to go through a rigorous screening and background check process to ensure they are trustworthy. After screening, they go through in-house training to help them provide a higher quality security service on your property whether it is on a cruise ship, in a mall, or in a retail shop. Once each guard has completed training, they operate as private security guards and will fulfill their contractual obligations for the necessary time span. Security guard services may be requested for short one-time events, or on a temporary ongoing basis to fill a gap in staff employment.

Certain local governments may require, by code, the presence of a trained and depending on the municipality, licensed Fire Guard. A Fire Guard has training in fire extinguishing equipment, fire safety, sprinkler systems and emergency procedures. Certain residential buildings not equipped with sprinkler systems may require full time Fire Watch personnel as do some hotels, offices, shelters, construction sites where an open flame is in use. Buildings where the fire alarm or sprinkler system is for any reason out of service may require the services of a Fire Guard.

Gated Communities A gated community’s top-selling asset for residents is that the neighborhood is safer and more reliable, providing a sense of security.
