Armed Officers

Today’s world is scary. Violence can occur at work, church, or even the grocery store. Mass shootings at workplaces, schools, and retail stores. Terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. Unarmed security personnel will often not have the stopping power they need to ensure safety and end these incidents. That’s why many businesses, facilities and organizations choose to employ armed officers. This extra level of protection for employees, students, and members of the public, brings incredible peace of mind.

​

Some clients station armed security officers at a guard post or entrance to a business such as a manufacturing, office, or healthcare facility. Other institutions such as gated residential communities, private members clubs or houses of worship often employ unarmed and armed officers to control crowds, check authorized entry and keep people safe.

​

People hire armed officers when they need a higher level of protection. Whatever the reason and specifics of the case, Proteus Protective Services' officers have the skills needed to perform their duties with professionalism and to the highest possible ethical standards.
