Unarmed Guards Services

Unarmed Security Guard Services for Property & Operational Safety

Unarmed security officers provide a strong, visible protective presence for businesses, residential communities, construction sites, and public environments. At Aetos Global Security, doing business as Aetos Security, our unarmed guards are trained in observation, reporting, access control, customer service, and conflict de-escalation, delivering professional protection at an affordable cost.

Services are provided only in jurisdictions where all regulatory and licensing requirements have been fully met.

What Unarmed Guards Can Do for Your Property

Unarmed officers are ideal for environments where:

1. A strong security presence is needed without the use of a firearm
2. Customer service or public interaction is part of daily operations
3. The goal is prevention, deterrence, and reporting
4. Liability, safety, or brand image favors a non-armed approach
5. Access control, monitoring, or patrol duties are required

Unarmed guards often serve as the first line of defense, helping prevent incidents before they escalate.

Where Unarmed Security Is Most Effective

Our unarmed officers are commonly deployed to:

1. Apartment complexes and residential communities
2. Commercial buildings and office parks
3. Retail stores, shopping centers, and parking facilities
4. Construction sites and equipment yards
5. Schools, churches, and nonprofit organizations
6. Medical facilities and professional offices
7. Corporate campuses and logistics centers

If your goal is presence, prevention, and professional oversight, unarmed guards are often the right choice.

2. You need visibility and control, not force
3. Your environment requires customer interaction
4. Your property has regular occupants or visitors
5. Your main goal is prevention and policy enforcement

When risks are higher, we may recommend:
