Professional Armed Security Guard Services in California

An armed security guard provides a visible security presence while carrying a firearm as authorized for the assignment. Depending on the property's post orders, officers may monitor entrances and exits, conduct interior and exterior patrols, observe visitors and vehicles, protect designated assets, document incidents, monitor property activity, and respond to security concerns.

Armed security may be considered when a property's security plan calls for an increased visible security presence because of its operations, valuable assets, location, hours, access requirements, or other site-specific concerns. The appropriate level of security should be determined according to the needs and circumstances of the individual property.

The primary difference is that an armed security officer carries a firearm when properly authorized for the assignment, while an unarmed officer does not carry a firearm as part of an unarmed assignment. Both can perform duties such as access monitoring, patrols, observation, incident documentation, and property security.
