Armed Security Guard Services

Armed security is the highest level of security service, and we make sure that it is properly deployed to maximize safety and to prevent incidents from occurring.

THE ARMED DIFFERENCE

An armed officer is the ultimate deterrent for preventing crime and also a potential liability, which is why Covey Security has a superior training program for our Armed Officers.

Prior to becoming an armed officer, all candidates must be qualified by our in-house trainer, regardless of background.

Key components of our service are as follows:

  • Rigorous training: We have an in-house trainer with real world experience with firearms training.
  • Escalation of Force protocols: Having a deadly weapon is a great responsibility and we want to make sure that our officers deploy it properly. That is why we engage in use of force protocols to help with this stressful decision making process
  • Communication is Paramount: Our guards’ best weapon, regardless of situation, their mouth and we teach how to properly communicate to de-escalate situations.
  • Standardization: We have set standards that all guards must follow. This helps with training and alignment across our force.
  • De-Escalation is the Goal: We coach all of our armed officers in multiple de-escalation techniques. The ultimate goal for our officers is not to use force and to achieve peaceful outcomes through non-violent means.
