PROFESSIONAL UNARMED GUARD SERVICES

Every Surety Security unarmed guard is vetted, trained, and licensed under Washington State law. We don't place warm bodies — we place security professionals who represent your brand and protect your people.

Post & Stationary Guard

Dedicated officers stationed at your entrance, lobby, loading dock, or perimeter. Consistent visible presence that deters unauthorized access and establishes security culture.

Roving Patrol

Guards conducting structured interior and exterior patrols on scheduled or randomized routes. Ideal for large campuses, warehouses, and multi-building properties.

Event Security

Crowd management, access control, and incident response for corporate events, galas, concerts, and community gatherings — scaled to your headcount and risk level.

Overnight & Graveyard Shifts

Round-the-clock coverage including overnight and early-morning shifts. Our guards stay alert, stay professional, and keep your property secure when it's most vulnerable.

Incident Reporting

Detailed written incident reports for every event, delivered promptly to management. Documentation that protects you legally and improves your security posture over time.

Customer Service Integration

Guards trained to serve dual roles — security presence and professional first point of contact for visitors, tenants, and guests. Branded uniforms available.

THE RIGHT GUARD FOR MOST ENVIRONMENTS

Unarmed security officers are the right choice for the vast majority of commercial, retail, residential, and government environments. Visible, professional, and legally straightforward to deploy — they provide genuine deterrence without escalating tension.

At Surety Security, our unarmed officers go through the same rigorous background checks, training standards, and licensing requirements as our armed division. The difference is posture — not quality.

  • Washington State Private Security License (PSA) required for all guards
  • De-escalation and conflict resolution training
  • First aid / CPR certified — all officers
  • Prior security industry experience required — no entry-level hires on client sites
  • Criminal background + drug screening
  • Site-specific orientation before first shift
  • Supervisor spot-checks and performance reviews
  • Direct line to Surety Security management — not a call center

UNARMED GUARD FAQ

For most properties in the Seattle metro area we can have guards on post within 48–72 hours of contract signing. For larger deployments or specialized sites, standard timeline is 3–5 business days. Emergency or event coverage can often be arranged same-day or next-day depending on availability.
Yes — 100% of our security officers hold a current Washington State Private Security Guard (PSA) license issued by the Washington State Department of Licensing. We verify licensing before any guard is placed on assignment and maintain records on file. We also carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
Unarmed guards rely on presence, communication, observation, and reporting. They are appropriate for most commercial, retail, residential, and government environments where visible deterrence is the primary goal. Armed guards (through our Prostasia division) carry firearms and are appropriate for higher-risk environments, asset transport, or clients with specific threat assessments. We'll help you determine the right fit during your free quote.
Yes. We offer both uniformed and plainclothes (undercover) officer options depending on your needs. Retail clients often use a mix of both — uniformed guards at entrances for deterrence and plainclothes loss prevention officers on the floor.
Absolutely. We cover single-day events, weekend events, and short-term contracts with no long-term commitment required. We work with event planners, venues, nonprofits, and corporations across Washington for one-time and recurring event security.
We use a combination of GPS-enabled check-in technology, supervisor spot visits, and activity logging to ensure accountability. You'll receive incident reports and can request shift logs at any time. You also have direct access to our management team — not a 1-800 number.
