Frequently asked questions

• What kind of questions should I ask a security company before hiring them?

  Some questions to ask a security company are: What kind of experience does the security company have with your particular situation? What kinds of licenses does the company have? What kinds of training does your team go through? Are you fully insured? Are your guards monitored? How are they kept accountable? The answers will tell you if this is a security company you want to work with.

• What is armed security?

  Armed security refers to one or more weapons-trained defense professionals who you can hire to protect your person, your family, your team and your property.

• When should I hire armed guards?

  Generally, if a place is known to be in a high-crime area– known for violence, fights and problems, then it makes sense to hire armed guards who have been trained and licenced for using firearms. With armed security, the guards themselves are a force you can trust to defend your livelihood.

• Are armed guards allowed to fire weapons?

  Security guards are allowed to use weapons only in self-defense or to protect someone else from being shot.
