What you get with Unarmed Security Guards
Not every environment calls for a firearm, but every environment benefits from a professional, attentive presence. Our unarmed security officers provide professional, approachable, and diligent service in settings such as corporate offices, residential communities, hospitals, schools, and public events. They excel in creating a secure environment through excellent observation skills, de-escalation techniques, and prompt responses to potential threats.
Our unarmed guards can be hired to suit nearly any need, whether you require them temporarily or long-term. We can also accommodate last-minute requests. All unarmed guards from Professional Guard & Patrol are regularly drug-tested and have undergone a thorough background check before being placed at any jobsite.
For environments where visible security is crucial but without the need for weapons, our unarmed officers provide the perfect balance of professional presence and customer-friendly service. They represent your brand while keeping your people and property safe.
