Deciding which security is best for your home or business is no trivial matter. Armed and unarmed trained security officers offer safety features that are distinct and require time to mull over. William Brissette, the owner of Desert Mountain Security, has applied the knowledge he’s accrued during his time in the military to help protect the people of Kingman, AZ, and the surrounding areas for over a decade. His military know-how has helped train his company’s armed and unarmed security services. While the armed and unarmed security offer distinct differences, which one is right for the protection of your business?

The most glaring difference between security offers that carry firearms and those that don’t are the tools they use to get the job done. While an unarmed officer might suggest less security, the term unarmed is a misnomer. Despite not carrying firearms, these uniformed guards utilize weapons such as batons, stun guns, capsicum spray, and other non-lethal weapons, and they can be just as effective as armed security.

Armed security officers do, of course, carry lethal weapons. One of the main reasons a company would prefer an armed security guard is due to how dangerous the environment they’re guarding may be. If the client has a history of being attacked by violent adversaries, it would make sense that armed officers are employed. Trained security personnel that don’t carry armed weaponry are usually hired to protect businesses where the threat of attack is relatively low.

Whether officers are armed or unarmed one of the chief benefits of hiring uniformed guards is so that possible transgressors are deterred from engaging in illegal activity. Merely having a visible security presence is often enough to decrease criminal activity.
