Armed vs. Unarmed Security Guards in West Palm Beach, Florida

One of the most common questions West Palm Beach business owners ask is: Do I need armed or unarmed security? DS Legacy Security provides both throughout Palm Beach County.

Unarmed Security Guards

Unarmed officers provide a visible deterrent, monitor access control, conduct patrols, and respond to disturbances. Ideal for retail stores, office buildings, community events, residential HOA properties, and hospitality venues.

Armed Security Guards

Armed officers hold a valid Florida Class G Statewide Firearms License. Essential for banks and financial institutions, jewelry stores and luxury retail, cannabis dispensaries, and government buildings.

Key Factors When Choosing

Risk Level: Businesses handling large amounts of cash or high-value merchandise benefit most from armed protection. Customer Perception: Some environments prefer unarmed officers to avoid an intimidating atmosphere. Budget: Armed guards command a premium due to licensing and training requirements. Liability: A professional security program from DS Legacy Security reduces your exposure.
