Unarmed Security Officer

Protect your business, venue, or property with our professional, uniformed unarmed security personnel. Our guards provide a strong, visible presence and are trained to deter threats, manage incidents, and maintain a safe environment without the use of firearms.

Each officer is trained in use-of-force protocols, verbal de-escalation, Verbal Judo, and advanced guard procedures, ensuring calm, controlled, and professional response at all times.

Uniformed presence changes behaviour before an incident ever starts. Our officers cover entrances, patrol interiors and perimeters, manage access, and log everything they observe — so you have both a deterrent on the ground and a record you can rely on.

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.
