Trusted to Safeguard Florida's Most At Risk People, Properties & Places

Our Licensed Security Officers are trained to monitor and manage surveillance equipment, patrol properties in vehicles or on foot, control general access points, as well as the critical access points within your property. Point blank, our Security Officers are responsible for keeping property safe and staff secure.

Professional Security Officers are trusted to maintain their physical and mental readiness and respond to security breaches and emergencies. They understand the appropriate use of emergency services like 911 and Fire Rescue and are trained in responsible detention techniques of violent intruders. Most importantly they understand that physical interaction with anyone is an absolute last resort, and is only to be used to preserve life or to protect themselves or others from great bodily harm. They are certified in first aid and are vital in ensuring the rapid response of EMS and law enforcement to emergency situations. 

The basic Security Officer responsibilities include protecting property, securing premises and managing video surveillance. Other services include permitting entry, preventing theft and damage to property. As a result, a security guard can prevent damage, theft, unwanted irregularities and trespassers.

A Security Officer’s authority is actually determined by the client. Security Officers act as representatives for their clients interests while on their scheduled shifts, and only on their client’s property. They have the right to act on their clients behalf, within the confines of the contract in place. The benefit of having a Professional Security Officer assigned to your property becomes their ability to use the training listed above to act on your behalf in uncomfortable and/or dangerous situations.

Yes, Security Officers have the same right to detain as any citizen under the laws of citizen’s arrest. All citizen’s arrests must be immediately followed by law enforcement notification without delay. A security license itself does grant any additional authority to arrest or detain. The benefit of licensed Security Officers is their training, experience and ability to assess when a citizen’s arrest is legal, justified, and entirely necessary.
