- TRAINED PRESENCE
ARMED SECURITY SERVICES
An armed security assignment for properties where the site assessment and client needs call for an elevated protective presence.
- SERVICE DESIGN
DEFINE THE ROLE BEFORE DEPLOYMENT
Armed security can be appropriate for selected commercial, residential, and event assignments. The scope of work should state where officers will be posted or patrol, how they communicate, the expected response to incidents, and when outside law enforcement or emergency services should be called.
Armed security officers operate under the requirements that apply in the state of assignment. They are distinct from sworn company police officers.
- PLANNING
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
SITE CONDITIONS
POST ORDERS
DOCUMENTATION
STAFFING PLAN
Entrances, visibility, public access, operating hours, and the property’s recent concerns.
Clear duties and escalation steps that align with the client’s policies.
Reporting for patrol activity, incidents, and issues needing management attention.
The number of posts, schedules, relief coverage, and supervision appropriate to the assignment.
- RELATED OPTIONS
CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY
In North Carolina, some eligible properties may benefit from company police rather than, or alongside, armed security. We can explain the operational differences and review whether company police is available for your location.
- DEFINED RESPONSIBILITIES
What an armed assignment includes
An armed officer’s presence is one element of the site plan. We specify the post or patrol route, access responsibilities, communications, incident notification, and when the officer must request law enforcement or emergency medical assistance. Assignments are staffed according to applicable licensing, registration, and training requirements in the state where the work occurs.
We also review site-specific risks such as public entry, visibility, solitary posts, cash or valuable assets, and the expected interaction with residents or customers. Armed security does not carry the same law enforcement authority as Piedmont Company Police.
