Get a threat assesment
If you can foresee a situation which would involve an armed intruder entering your property, then it is a good idea to hire armed security guards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do armed security guards carry?
An armed guard isn't restricted to guns. A guard is considered armed if they're carrying batons, pepper spray, or tear gas.
However, most of our clients request guards who are armed with firearms so they are capable of handling the most dangerous situations that might occur on location.
How effective are armed security guards?
Studies show armed security guards lead to significant reductions in crime. While even an unarmed security guard can provide this deterrent effect, an armed guard is even more effective.
Simply put, placing armed guards on your property makes your business a harder target. Criminals are more likely to go find some other place to victimize.
When are armed security guards authorized to use lethal force?
The primary responsibilities of security guards are to deter, observe, and report.
An armed security guard may only use force if they or a third party are in imminent danger.
The amount of force they bring to bear must be reasonable to the situation they have encountered.
