Our Services

Security Guard Services We Provide in Indianapolis

Comprehensive protection for every type of property and threat scenario.

Armed Security Guards

They provide visible deterrence while maintaining professional customer service standards.

Examples: Fashion Mall at Keystone retailers, jewelry stores in Downtown Indianapolis, banks in the financial district, pharmaceutical facilities, and corporate offices

Examples: Downtown and Carmel office towers, IU Health, Community Health Network, Franciscan Health, university facilities

Mobile Patrol Services

Random and scheduled patrols across multiple Indianapolis locations, perfect for retail chains, property management companies, and businesses with sprawling facilities.

If you’re concerned about theft, vandalism, trespassing, or employee safety anywhere in Indianapolis, professional security guards can help.

Are your security guards licensed in Indianapolis?

Yes, absolutely. Every Guard Services USA security guard is licensed by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency, which requires background checks, fingerprinting, and passing a state exam. Our armed guards hold additional Indiana Professional Licensing Agency Exposed Firearm Permits and undergo specialized firearms training. We also carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage to protect your business.

Do you provide 24/7 security coverage in Indianapolis?

Whether you need guards for daytime business hours, overnight shifts, weekends, or holidays, we staff accordingly. Many of our clients—such as construction sites, warehouses, and hotels—require round-the-clock protection, and we’re equipped to handle it. We also offer 24/7 emergency dispatch if an urgent situation arises.

How quickly can you deploy guards to my Indianapolis location?

In most cases, we can deploy guards to your Indianapolis location within 12-24 hours. Whether you need coverage for an emergency situation, an unexpected security incident, or simply want to get started fast, our team moves quickly to assess your needs and get qualified guards on-site. For more complex deployments requiring specialized training or equipment, we typically deliver within 48 hours. Either way, we prioritize speed without compromising on quality or vetting.

What's the difference between armed and unarmed security guards?

Armed guards are trained and licensed to carry firearms and are best suited for high-risk environments like banks, cannabis dispensaries, 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.

Do you offer free security assessments for Indianapolis businesses?

Yes, we provide complimentary security assessments for all Indianapolis businesses. Our team will visit your property, evaluate vulnerabilities, discuss your security concerns, and recommend a customized guard solution—whether that’s armed guards, unarmed guards, mobile patrols, or a combination. There’s no obligation, and you’ll receive a detailed quote within 24 hours of the assessment.

Can you provide security for events in Indianapolis?

Absolutely. We provide event security throughout Indianapolis for concerts, festivals, corporate events, weddings, private parties, film premieres, and more. Our event security team handles crowd management, VIP protection, bag checks, parking lot security, and venue access control. We work with venues like theaters, concert halls, and production studios. Whether you’re planning an intimate 50-person gathering or a 10,000-person festival, we scale our team accordingly.

How much do security guards cost in Indianapolis?

Pricing varies based on the type of security (armed vs. unarmed), number of guards, shift length, and specific site requirements. Indianapolis has unique cost factors including higher wages, licensing requirements, and insurance considerations. Every business has different needs, so we provide customized quotes based on your exact situation.
