Armed Security Officer

Safeguard your property, personnel, and assets with our highly trained, uniformed armed security officers. Our armed guards provide a visible, proactive deterrent and are prepared to respond decisively to elevated security threats.

Each officer is thoroughly trained in firearms safety, use-of-force standards, threat assessment, and tactical response, while maintaining strict professionalism, situational awareness, and disciplined decision-making at all times.

Armed coverage is about judgment first and equipment second. Our officers are selected for temperament as much as capability — restraint, discipline, and accountability are the daily standard on every assignment.

Based in Olympia and covering Washington State — from Thurston County and the South Sound to Tacoma, Seattle and beyond, with officers who know the ground they cover. Meet the team behind the uniform.

Standards & Equipment

Trained to State Standards

Our armed officers are trained to Washington CJTC and Department of Licensing standards, with documented firearms qualification and ongoing use-of-force instruction.

Equipped for the Post

Every armed officer carries a duty firearm, less-lethal options, an IFAK trauma kit and a body-worn camera — so what happens on your site is recorded, not disputed.

Field Training Program

New officers complete an in-house Field Training Program under an experienced FTO before they hold a post alone. Nobody learns on your property.

Positioned for Elevated Risk

Armed coverage is for sites where the risk justifies it — cash handling, elevated threat, or a history of incidents. We will tell you honestly if you don't need it.
