Armed Security Guards

Armed security guards carry a firearm on their person when conducting their duties on the contracted property. Although a security guard may be armed they also have non-lethal self defense items like O/C spray, asps or stun guns. Securiy guards are usally armed in high risk locations like banks or government building because of the increased risk due to the financial or intellectual property housed in the building. Armed security guards have an additional amount of training and certification through SLED than unarmed security guards and are trained in the use of deadly weapons.
