What Should an Armed Security Guard Do?

A professional armed security officer’s job is not to unnecessarily escalate situations.

A strong security officer should demonstrate:

Command Presence

The officer should appear professional, alert and capable of maintaining control.

Situational Awareness

Security personnel should continuously observe their surroundings and recognize developing problems.

Communication

Many situations can be resolved through professional communication before physical intervention becomes necessary.

De-Escalation

The objective should be to reduce conflict whenever circumstances allow.

Access Control

The officer should understand who is authorized to enter restricted areas.

Documentation

Security-related incidents should be properly documented.

Emergency Response

Officers should understand the site’s procedures for contacting police, fire rescue or emergency medical services.

Armed vs. Unarmed Security

Not sure which one you need?

Consider Armed Security When:

• High-value assets are present
• The property has experienced serious security incidents
• A credible threat exists
• High-profile individuals require protection
• The assignment has an elevated risk profile

Consider Unarmed Security When:

• The primary requirement is access control
• Security is primarily customer-facing
• You need lobby or front-desk security
• The assignment primarily involves observation and reporting
• The property requires general patrol and visible deterrence

Our team can discuss your situation and help determine the appropriate coverage.
