When armed coverage is the right call
Not every site needs an armed officer — and we will tell you when yours does not. Armed posts earn their premium where the risk profile is real: cash-intensive businesses and check cashing, jewelry and high-value retail, cannabis operations, banks and financial branches, dispensary transport corridors, executive protection details, and any site with a documented threat or recent violent incident. If an unarmed presence covers your actual exposure, that is what we will recommend.
Trained beyond the firearm
Every SECURICO armed officer holds current state guard licensing and firearm permits with range qualifications on file — and before any of that matters, de-escalation training. The firearm is the last tool on the belt, not the first. Armed officers are selected from experienced personnel, many with military or law-enforcement backgrounds, and off-duty law enforcement officers are available for the highest-risk assignments.
How SECURICO runs it
The compliance you inherit when you hire armed security
Armed deployment carries regulatory and liability weight, and we carry it for you: state permit verification, insurance sized for armed work, documented site risk assessment, and post orders that spell out the use-of-force policy your site operates under — in writing, before the first shift. Fully licensed in every state we operate, with certificates of insurance issued to your requirements.
What armed posts look like in practice
Bank and branch lobbies during operating hours. Jewelry counters and high-value stockrooms. Cannabis retail and vault rooms. Cash offices on count days. Overnight posts at sites with active threats. Executive and estate details. Termination-day standby where a specific individual is the concern. Each runs on written post orders, live GPS and the same unannounced supervision as every SECURICO post.
What armed coverage costs
Armed rates run above unarmed — typically starting in the mid-$30s per hour, moving with risk profile, hours and officer count. The honest guidance: buy armed coverage for the posts that need it and unarmed for the ones that do not; most mixed sites run exactly that split, and we will design it that way. The instant quote prices both in the same sixty seconds.
Verified, not promised
Every patrol runs on GPS-verified routes with time-stamped checkpoints. Rounds either happened or they did not — and the trail settles it, every shift.
Watch it happen from your phone
Reports, photos, audits and shift changes stream into the SECURICO app in real time. No Friday summary, no paper binder — the post, live.
The difference, measured
Deployment in hours instead of weeks. Live reporting instead of a weekly email. Supervision that never clocks out. That is the gap between SECURICO and the provider you are probably replacing.
