ARMED & UNARMED SECURITY SERVICES

1. Highly Trained and Certified Guards

All of our security personnel, both armed and unarmed, undergo rigorous training to meet the highest standards in the industry. Our armed guards are licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and receive extensive firearms training, while our unarmed guards are trained in conflict de-escalation, emergency response, and customer service to ensure they provide effective and professional security solutions.

2. Customized Security Solutions

We understand that every property or event is unique, and security needs vary. Whether you’re managing a commercial property, a residential community, or a special event, we will assess your specific risks and design a security strategy tailored to your situation, including the option to deploy armed or unarmed guards based on your security requirements.

3. Visible Deterrence

Having a security guard present—armed or unarmed—acts as a strong deterrent to potential criminals, trespassers, or vandals. With First In Security, you can choose the level of security visibility that best suits your environment, whether it’s the enhanced authority of an armed guard or the reassuring presence of an unarmed guard.

Enhanced Protection for High-Risk Environments

In situations where there is a higher risk of violence, theft, or other serious crimes, having armed security personnel on-site provides an extra layer of protection. Our armed guards are licensed to carry firearms and have undergone extensive training in firearm safety, legal regulations, and the appropriate use of force.

Ideal For:

• Banks and Financial Institutions: Protect your clients, employees, and assets from robbery and other high-risk threats.
• Construction Sites: Armed security can deter theft and vandalism, especially in high-value or remote locations.
• Retail Centers: Armed guards can manage security in high-risk retail environments, such as stores that handle large volumes of cash or expensive merchandise.
• Corporate Offices: Enhance protection for executives, high-profile clients, or during sensitive business events.
• Private Events: Secure VIP events, large gatherings, or high-profile occasions with armed personnel for increased peace of mind.
• High-Risk Areas: Areas known for criminal activity or that require additional protection from serious threats.

Effective Security for Low to Medium-Risk Environments

Unarmed security guards are the ideal choice for situations where a strong, professional presence is needed, but there is no imminent threat of violence. These guards are trained in customer service, conflict de-escalation, and emergency response, making them highly effective in maintaining order while providing a friendly, approachable presence.

Ideal For:

• Gated Communities and Residential Complexes: Unarmed guards provide a visible presence to manage access control and keep residents safe.
• Office Buildings: Ensure the safety of employees and visitors by having unarmed guards monitor entry points, patrol the premises, and respond to security concerns.
• Retail Stores: Unarmed guards can deter shoplifting, assist with customer service, and ensure a safe shopping environment without the need for weapons.
• Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: Provide a safe and calming environment for staff and patients while maintaining strict access control.
• Hotels and Resorts: Unarmed guards can enhance guest experience by offering security and concierge-style service.
• Corporate Events and Private Functions: Maintain a secure and professional atmosphere at events with friendly, unarmed security personnel.

Deciding whether to hire armed or unarmed guards depends on the specific risks and security needs of your property or event. Here are a few factors to consider:

1. Risk Level

• Armed Guards: Best for high-risk environments with a history of criminal activity, valuable assets, or threats of violence.
• Unarmed Guards: Ideal for lower-risk areas where you need a professional security presence but don’t expect serious threats.

2. Public Perception

• Armed Guards: Offer a higher level of authority but may be perceived as more intimidating.
• Unarmed Guards: Provide a welcoming and approachable presence, suitable for locations where customer service is a priority.

3. Cost Considerations

• Armed Guards: Typically come at a higher rate due to the advanced training and licensing required.
• Unarmed Guards: More affordable but still provide effective security for many situations.
