Unarmed Security Guard Services
SECURICO unarmed officers represent your business with the consistency, presentation, and reliability your organization deserves. Licensed, professionally trained, and backed by 24/7 supervision — with rapid deployment nationwide within hours.
What Unarmed Security Guards Actually Do
Most security companies send guards who clock in, sit in their car, and clock out. SECURICO sends officers who are actively protecting your property — visible, attentive, and engaged with everything happening on your site.
Active Visible Presence
Officers are seen — at entrances, parking lots, lobbies, and high-traffic areas. Visibility alone deters the majority of opportunistic crime. Your guard is on their feet, in uniform, and on post.
Foot Patrols, Not Car Patrols
Scheduled and randomized patrols of your entire property — interior, perimeter, parking, dock areas, stairwells, rooftops. GPS-verified checkpoints prove it happened. No officer parked in a corner for hours.
Trespass & Loitering Control
Politely but firmly move along loiterers, panhandlers, transients, and unauthorized individuals before they impact your customers, employees, or operations. De-escalated, documented, handled.
Observe, Report & Document
Eyes on suspicious vehicles, unusual behavior, after-hours activity. Real-time reporting through our 24/7 operations center, with detailed activity reports delivered to your inbox after every shift.
Maintenance & Safety Eyes
Burned-out lights, propped doors, water leaks, broken locks, suspicious smells — your officer notices first and contacts maintenance directly. Issues get fixed before they become liability problems or security gaps.
Helpful, Professional, Approachable
Direction-giving, after-hours parking lot escorts, assistance for disabled visitors, answering questions. A professional, courteous presence that supports your customers and reflects well on your business — every interaction.
Parked in their car all shift. On their phone instead of their post. Out of uniform. Late to relief. Sleeping. Rude to your customers or team. Ever.
Always On Time.
Always In Uniform. Always On Point.
We don’t just send a guard. We send a professional who represents your business with the consistency, presentation, and reliability your operations demand — every shift, every time. Here’s the standard every SECURICO officer is held to.
Your officer is the first impression your visitors get — and the last presence they see when they leave. We make sure that impression reflects your business the way it should.

Common Questions About Unarmed Security Guards
Everything prospects ask before hiring SECURICO unarmed officers. Don’t see your question? Call (310) 209-8119 or get an instant quote.
How fast can SECURICO deploy an unarmed security guard?
For standard needs we deploy within 24-48 hours after quote approval. For urgent or emergency requests, we can have a vetted officer on-site the same day — often within a few hours. Call our 24/7 dispatch line at (310) 209-8119 to talk about your timeline.
Are SECURICO unarmed security guards licensed and insured?
Yes. Every SECURICO officer holds the appropriate state license — BSIS PPO #122548 in California, TX DPS B30995401 in Texas, OR DPSST #3286 in Oregon. We carry $5M general liability insurance and workers’ compensation on every officer. Full certificates of insurance available upon request.
What’s the difference between unarmed and armed security guards?
Unarmed guards provide visible deterrence, access control, patrols, and incident reporting without carrying firearms. They’re the right choice for most commercial environments — retail, hospitality, corporate offices, residential, healthcare, education. Armed guards carry firearms and are appropriate for high-risk environments, cash handling, executive protection, and high-value asset protection. See our armed security guard services →
How much do unarmed security guards cost?
Cost depends on location, hours per week, coverage type (long-term vs short-term vs event), and specific site requirements. For long-term contracts, unarmed officers typically range between $25-$45/hour. Use our instant quote tool to get accurate pricing for your specific situation in under 60 seconds — no sales callback needed.
What training do SECURICO unarmed officers receive?
Every SECURICO officer completes state-mandated training (40+ hours initial in California), Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) de-escalation certification, customer service training, and site-specific post orders before deployment. Ongoing training continues throughout employment, including OSHA compliance, emergency response, and refresher courses.
Do unarmed security guards carry any defensive equipment?
Standard SECURICO unarmed officers carry a flashlight, two-way radio for real-time ops center communication, body camera (where required), and visible ID. Optional equipment (baton, pepper spray, handcuffs) is available where licensed and based on post requirements. Unarmed officers do not carry firearms.
Can I hire unarmed guards short-term or just for an event?
Yes. SECURICO offers same-day deployment for short-term coverage starting at one shift, plus event security (concerts, weddings, corporate events, conferences, film productions), seasonal coverage, and temporary post fills. No long-term contracts required for short-term work.
What happens if my guard doesn’t show up or is late?
Our 24/7 operations center monitors every shift in real time. If an officer is even 15 minutes late, we automatically dispatch a backup. If a guard can’t make their shift, a vetted replacement is on-site within the hour. Your post is never left uncovered — guaranteed. This is part of the SECURICO standard, not an upgrade.
