FAQs About Armed & Unarmed Security
What’s the difference between armed and unarmed security guards?
Armed guards carry a licensed firearm and are trained for high-threat environments. Unarmed guards do not carry weapons but are trained to observe, deter, and manage access professionally.
When are armed guards recommended?
Armed guards are typically used in high-risk areas or situations where theft, violence, or threats are more likely — such as banks, construction sites, or overnight commercial properties.
Can you provide both types of guards for one site?
Yes. We frequently design hybrid security plans that incorporate both armed and unarmed guards based on different zones, shifts, or event needs.
