Armed and Unarmed Security Guards in San Antonio
Deciding between armed and unarmed coverage is the first real question, and most companies will push you toward armed because it bills higher. We'd rather tell you the truth: most properties don't need armed officers, and putting a firearm on a post that doesn't call for one adds risk rather than removing it.
Armed coverage makes sense when there's cash on site, high-value inventory, a documented threat, or an environment where police response time is long. Unarmed uniformed presence handles the majority of everything else — access control, deterrence, incident documentation, and being the person who notices something is wrong.

Common Questions
Do I need armed or unarmed officers?
We'll tell you after walking your property. It depends on what's on site, your location, and your history of incidents — not on what we'd prefer to bill.
Can officers detain someone?
Authority depends on the officer's commission status and the circumstances. We'll explain exactly what your assigned officers can and cannot do before the first shift.
What's the minimum commitment?
It varies by post. Call us and we'll tell you what makes sense for your situation.
