Licensed Unarmed Security Officers Services
Universal Security Guard Association (USGA) provides licensed unarmed security officers who deliver comprehensive protection through access control, systematic patrols, incident response, and visible deterrence without firearms.
Most security situations require professional presence, vigilance, and customer service skills rather than lethal force capability.
Our unarmed officers receive extensive training in threat recognition, de-escalation techniques, emergency response, and customer service. They maintain a professional demeanor while protecting properties, assets, and people through observation, communication, and coordination with law enforcement when situations require police intervention.
Why Unarmed Security Officers Are the Smart Choice
Unarmed security effectively addresses 95% of commercial security needs at lower cost than armed services. Most properties face routine security challenges; unauthorized access, theft deterrence, policy enforcement, and emergency response that trained unarmed officers handle professionally without firearms complications.
Unarmed officers create an approachable security presence suitable for customer-facing environments. Retail stores, office buildings, hospitals, and schools benefit from security that protects without intimidating legitimate visitors. Professional unarmed presence deters most threats while maintaining welcoming atmospheres.
