ARMED SECURITY GUARDS

Licensed armed security officers deployed through our Prostasia division. For high-value assets, elevated threat environments, and clients who require the highest tier of protection — we deliver.

We needed armed coverage for a high-value asset transport series. Prostasia's officers were disciplined, tactically aware, and handled every situation with exactly the level of professionalism we required.

MAXIMUM PROTECTION THROUGH PROSTASIA

Armed security through Surety Security means deployment via our Prostasia division — a specialized team of licensed, trained, and vetted armed professionals operating under strict protocols.

High-Value Asset Protection

Jewelry stores, financial institutions, dispensaries, and facilities holding sensitive or high-value inventory requiring a credible armed deterrent.

Cannabis Retailers

Washington dispensaries handle significant cash and high-value product daily — making them a top robbery target. Our armed officers provide the visible deterrence and rapid response these environments demand.

Government & Critical Infrastructure

Armed protection for government buildings, utilities, data centers, and facilities requiring heightened security posture.

Banks & High-Volume Cash Businesses

Financial institutions, check cashing locations, ATM facilities, and any business handling large volumes of cash benefit from the credible deterrence that only a visible armed presence provides.

Healthcare & Crisis Environments

Behavioral health units, emergency departments, and facilities managing volatile patient populations requiring a measured armed presence.

Ports & Logistics Terminals

High-value cargo, 24/7 operations, and federal facility requirements make the Seattle–Tacoma port corridor one of the highest-demand environments for armed security coverage in Washington State.

ARMED OFFICERS HELD TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD

Every armed officer deployed through our Prostasia division undergoes a selection and training process that exceeds Washington State minimums. We do not place officers who merely meet the legal threshold — we place those who exceed it.

  • Washington State Armed Security Guard License (PSA-Armed)
  • Firearms proficiency qualification and ongoing range certification
  • Use-of-force policy training and annual review
  • Tactical situational awareness and threat assessment training
  • Extensive criminal background, financial, and reference checks
  • Drug screening — pre-employment and random
  • Direct supervision by senior Prostasia field commanders
Is Armed Security Right For You?

Armed security is appropriate when visible deterrence alone is insufficient. Common indicators include:

  • Previous robbery, assault, or violent incidents on premises
  • High-value merchandise, cash, or controlled substances on site
  • High-crime location or threat assessment recommends armed presence
  • Government or contractual requirement for armed coverage
  • Insurance or risk management mandate

ARMED DEPLOYMENT PROCESS

Armed security requires additional pre-deployment evaluation. Here's what to expect.

01

Threat & Risk Assessment

We evaluate your facility, incident history, crime data, and operational environment to determine appropriate armed coverage scope.

02

Officer Selection

Prostasia selects officers matched to your environment — professional demeanor, relevant experience, and verified credentials.

03

Site Briefing & Post Orders

Officers receive written post orders, emergency protocols, and site-specific training before deployment begins.

04

Deployment & Oversight

Ongoing field supervision, incident documentation, and regular performance reviews — with direct access to Prostasia command staff.

ARMED SECURITY FAQ

Washington State requires armed security officers to hold a Private Security Guard license with an armed endorsement, issued by the WA Department of Licensing. Officers must complete firearm training, pass a background check, and demonstrate firearm proficiency. All Prostasia officers meet and exceed these requirements.
Both options are available depending on your operational needs. Open carry in uniform provides maximum visible deterrence. Concealed carry by plainclothes officers provides covert protection. We'll recommend the appropriate approach based on your environment and threat assessment.
Our armed officers typically carry standard law enforcement-pattern sidearms. Specific firearm selection, caliber, and equipment configuration is determined by Prostasia command and relevant to site requirements. All equipment is legally authorized and inspected regularly.
Surety Security and Prostasia carry comprehensive general liability insurance that covers armed security operations. We'll provide certificates of insurance as required. Our use-of-force policies are documented, trained, and reviewed to minimize liability exposure for both our company and our clients.
