Armed guards are trained and licensed to carry firearms and are best suited for high-risk environments like banks, jewelry stores, cash-intensive businesses, and properties with a history of violent incidents. They provide a strong deterrent and can respond to serious threats. Unarmed guards are ideal for lower-risk properties like office buildings, retail stores, residential communities, and schools. They provide excellent customer service, handle access control, and manage day-to-day security without the presence of a firearm. We help you determine which is right based on your specific threat level and insurance requirements.
