In addition to our training and experience required for unarmed security guard services, armed guards must also be trained in the use of firearms and license to carry a weapon.
Under most circumstances arm security guards are only employed where items of some stash value must be protected. This includes cash, jewelry, antiques, works of art, valuable documents, rare books or important people.

They do more than just guard arm security guard services also include escorting funds to banks and other financial institutions escorting cash and other valuables from one place to another with them in a facility such as a casino, and physically ascertaining that protective systems such as safes an alarm system are active. Armed guards are not ordinarily employed in public retail areas because experience has shown that unarmed guards are generally a sufficient crime deterrent in large department stores, malls and sports venues.

Arm security officers are rarely called upon to use lethal force but can do so if the situation requires it or for self-protection from an armed adversary.
