Unarmed vs. Armed Security Agencies

As a company begins the process of assessing and determining their security requirements, the issue of whether or not to employ armed or unarmed guards inevitably arises. Armed security agencies are the only answer in some situations, but they aren't for everyone. There are considerable liabilities that come along with employing armed guards, so some situations may actually call for a lower level of protection.

In general, most retail situations would not require guards to carry weapons, since armed guards could actually become targets for violence in these cases. However, there are instances in which exceptionally valuable jewelry, art, artifacts or even money must be transported; these are situations that can attract armed thieves and necessitate armed protection. Non-public or restricted-access sites that require aggressive protection, such as courtrooms or other facilities that may be vulnerable to an armed attack, may require armed protection.
