  • The nature of the business
  • Security concerns
  • Operating hours
  • Previous incidents
  • Risk considerations
  • Property value
  • Location
  • Type of event
  • Client requirements

  • Property layout
  • Exits
  • Restricted areas
  • Security concerns
  • Entrances
  • Parking
  • Operating hours

Armed vs. Unarmed Security

The choice between armed and unarmed security should be based on the specific circumstances.

Armed security

May be appropriate for assignments where an armed security presence has been determined to be necessary.

Unarmed security

Depending on the location and situation an unarmed officer may be appropriate.

May be appropriate where the primary objective is visibility, monitoring, access control, patrols and other security functions without an armed assignment.

Neither service is automatically appropriate for every property.

The best approach is to evaluate the assignment first.
